OFFICERS SHOULD DO THE WORK.
I'VE believe that no public Of
ficer should draw the salary of
his office when the duties thereof
are performed by proxy.
1--WE demand the repeal of the
Streeter libel law.
CONTROLLED BY RAILROADS.
''The political affairs of the
state OF North Dakota are con-
trolled by the railroads. We
call upon the citizens of the state
to assist us in relieving the state
from such denomination.
1--WE endorse the democratic
principles as laid down in our ma
tional platform.
1--WE are in favor of electing
United States senators by popular
vote.
Owing to the gigantic growth
of monopolies and trusts under
the fostering care of a high pro-
tective tariff, we demand that
all trust produced and trust con-
trolled goods, among which are
coal, farm machinery and build
ing material, be placed on the
free list.

grain grading andinspection law.

Resolutions at the Jamestown
republican convention July IL,
1906:
~ ~ THE PARTY 1s.GLoR1F1ED
1--WE glory in the grand his
tory Of the republican party, an
organization that has been first
in every effort to develop and i'm
prove the conditions in this pro-
gressive land of ours, and whose
every promise has been most
faithfully kept; it's unblemished
record of fifty years stands as
the proudest monument that any
party could have, and we have
implicit faith that in the future
it will meet all emergencies with
the same success as in the past.
It is with pleasure we call atten-
ton to our great leader, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who has always
proved faithful to every trust
and who has so strenuously la
bored for the interests of the
common people of this land as
we'll as to give every just protec-
ton to invested capital. We are
especially proud of the chief exc

a foster son of this great state and
much of his strenuousnesS and
persistency come from his imbib-

prairies with all its health giving
qualities. Protection for the
rights of all people has been his
battle cry and we are proud to be
his humble followers.
DELEGATION is LAUDED.
1.-The harmony which has ex-
listed among the members of the
delegation from this state to the
national capitol is to be most

most zealously labored for every
interest of the state and nation

be proud of the record made by
all as each has distinguished him
self in the matter of national leg
islation.
