rural life, we demand that every eff
fort be made to improve such schools
and, to this end, we believe that the
granting Of aid to rural schools which
maintain a high standard is desired.
16. We believe that Labor Day
should be recognized and made a legal
holiday, and that a child labor law
should be enacted which would pro-
tect the children and give them a
chance for their development and the
education to which they are entitled.
II. We favor the enactment of
adequate laws for the promotion
in this state of forestry, irrigation
and drainage.
Upon this platform Of principles and
purposes. reaf1rming our adherence to
every republican doctrine proclaimed
since the birth Of the party, we go be-
fore the people of this state asking
for support not only of those who have
acted with us heretofore, but to all
our fellow citizens who, regardless of
past political differences, unite in the
desire to maintain the policies, per.
petuate the blessings and make secure
tie achievements Of a Creator Ameri-
ca.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-10-22
THE PLATFORM.

We the republicans of the state of
North Dakota, reaffrm our allegiance
to the fundamental principles of re-
~publicanism, as laid down in the ma
tional platform.
l. We indorse the administration
and policy of President Roosevelt, and
declare our appreciation of his efforts
that our government shall be in fact,
IS well as in name, administered in
the interests of the whole people. We
believe with him that there should be
no domination of our policies by
predatory wealth or special Interests
out the privileges conferred by the
government should be equally shared
oy all, and that all citizens should be
equal before the law.
2. AS republicans we rejoice in the
fact that our standard bearer in this
presidential campaign, the Hon. Will
lam H. Taft Of Ohio, is the foremost
exponent of the Roosevelt policies,
and call attention to the fact that his
training has been such as to thor
oughly equip him for the duties of
this high office, and that his whole
career as a public official has been
characterized by honesty, efficiency,
usefulness, and the highest sense Of
public duty, and we challenge the
democracy to point to a single act Of
his which has not been consistent
with f~ar-sighted craftsmanship and
for the best interests Of the people.
s. We favor the speedy revision Of
the tariff by the republican party in
such manner that, while all necessary
protection to legitimate American in
dustries Is retained, all duties which
are no longer needed in their present
form shall be reduced or abolished,
and we specially recommend the abo-
lttion of all duties on those articles
whose production or distribution are
controlled and manipulated by trusts.
4. We heartily indorse the activity
OF the present national administration
in relation to the preservation and
conservation OF the natural wealth and
resources OF the country, and especial.
~ its efforts in relation to forestra.
ton. the retaining Of the arid west
by irrigation, and making once more
the waterways of the country national
highways which shall be free and open
to all Of our citizens.
3. We heartily favor such legisla.
ton, either through the postal savings
bank or guarantee of bank deposits,
as shall thoroughly safeguard all de-
positors, provided that any system of
postal savings banks shall be so ad.
mln1stered as to retain the money in
the community where deposited.
3. We believe that the primary
duty OF u courts is to mete out Jus
tice, rather than to pass D o alb.
straot legal questions. and We believe
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-10-22
the administration of the Offices tc
which they may be chosen.

the administration of the Offices to
which they may be chosen.
-. We indorse the action of a re.
publican board of equalization in its
efforts to determine a just share OF
taxation to be borne by the railroads
and we declare our belief that a phys.
ical valuation Of our railroads and
property Of other public service cor.
porations should be made by the state
and by the nation in order that the
rate Of taxation and service may be
more justly determined.
10. We advocate a liberal appro.
priation by congress for the improve.
ment of u rivers and waterways.
IA. We demand enactment by the
next legislature of a stringent anti
pass law as a matter Of justice both
to the railroads and to the people of
the state.
14A. We demand the enactment of
legislation which shall provide for
complete publicity of all campaign
contributions and expenditures.
15. Recognizing the Importance of
education and especially of the rural
schools In the development Of our
state in the solution Of the problem Of
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-10-22

Mr.. Republican Voter, who did you
vote for at the primary? Who NOM
mated the republican ticket at the pri-
mary last June? We will leave the
first question for you to answer and
to the last We will say that the re.
publicans by a majority vote nomin.
ated the ticket. Who is entitled to
your support Nov. 3rd, the men select.
ed by the republicans or the men
selected by the opposing party? You
will say the republicans. Then vote
for them. There is no excuse this
year for q republican to vote a split
ticket. We have made our own choice
SO let US stick by it..
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-10-22

that laws should be passed changing
the present legal procedure 81 that
appeals on mere technicalities will not
lie where no injustice has been done.
Z. We recognize that both capital
and labor occupy a necessarily indie
pendent relation to each other, and
believe that neither the legitimate
and lawful objects of the first can be
curtailed nor. the rights and privileges
Of the latter denied without injury
and harm to both. We believe that
the continued prosperity of our coun-
try requires just and equal laws, not
only to keep capital within its legiti-
mate channels. but also to assure to
labor it's lawful rights and privileges,
and to this end we believe that the
laws giving capital it's fair and just
rights should be favored, and at the
same time that the rights of labor to
unionize for legitimate purposes
should be recognized, and we believe
that the granting of injunctions in
cases involving labor disputes should
be SO regulated as to require notice
and hearing to the opposite party be.
fore restraining orders are issued, and
we believe that some plan of advisory
arbitration, with a view Of publicity
to each side of the controversy, will
work satisfactory results in labor dis
putes.
8. The primary election law, hav-
ing been devised to give the individual
voter the opportunity for large partici-
patton in the political affairs of his
party and state, we pledge ourselves
to the maintenance of the primary
principle, and to such changes,
amendments and improvements as
will from time to time suggest them.
selves for its proper and impartial
operation, after giving the law a fair
trial.
9. We favor the election of United
States senators by a direct vote of
the people.
10. We demand that the state off,
Gals shall give their personal atten-
ton to the duties Of their respective
offices and believe that such officials
should reside at the state capital and
we recognize the justice Of adequate
compensation for such officials.
II. Constitutional prohibition Of
the liquor traffic, having been made q
part of our fundamental law, through
the efforts Of the republican party, we
pledge the party to the maintenance
of the prohibitory law and to it's strict
enforcement throughout the entire
state and to call upon the men who
are to bear the standard Of repub.
! lieanism to recognize this pledge In
