GR0NNA'S PLATFORM
North Dakota Congressman Tells the
Voters What He Stands for in
National Legislation.
To the People of the State of Nor:t

To the People of the State of North
Dakota:
Having decided again to become a
candidate for nomination and election
as q representative in congress from
North Dakota, I deem it proper to
issue statement expressing my pres
ent convictions in regard to the ques-
tons OF national import now confront
Ing the people Of the United States.
AS republican and asking for the
SURFACES of republican voters, I SUBJ
scribe to the cardinal principle Of pro-
lection to American industries. be-
Neve, however, that the time has come
to subject the schedules of the pres
ent tariff to close scrutiny in order
that duties which give undue prefer
ence or which are ineffective may be
changed to meet present conditions.
l believe that notably in the case Of
iron, coal, lumber, and wood pulp the
tariff should be removed, except such
countervailing duties as may be nee
essary to Offset export duties levied
by other countries on the raw ma
terial.
believe that no backward step
should be taken in the enforcement
OF what have come to be known as the
roosevelt policies" in order that the
pubic may be protected from arbi-
tfary exercises Of the power resulting
from the enormous aggregations Of
corporate wealth made possible by
our institutions.
I believe that all public service COR
porations should be subjected to gov
eminent control, and that for the pur-
pose OF taxation and regulation q
physical valuation should be made Of
al corporate property. To be effec-
tive, control must extend to the capt.
oal Of corporations. Capitalization
OF franchises and. Of monopoly rights
should not be permitted.
believe that in the not remote fu.
ture law should be enacted reqrir-
Ing corporations engaged In interstate
business to incorporate under nation
81 laws. The Sherman Antitrust
Law, should be SO changed as not to
prohibit combinations not against the
public interest.
favor the speedy enactment Of
laws providing for a graduated in.
come tax and graduated Inheritance
tax.
I believe that the time has come to
consider the question Of a radical
change in our currency system. but I
Am unalterably opposed to any sys-
tenn Or any alteration or modification

George M. Young, of Valley City, N.
D., was born in Huron county, Ontario.
He came to Michigan in 1883 and to
North Dakota in 1890. He IS a self
made man, has served two terms in the
house and two sessions in the state sem
ate. He was the pioneer in legislation
looking to better grain grading condi-
ion and also had bill passed estab-
fishing -four mill and grain testing
plant at Fargo, tor the farmers benefit,
the first of the kind in the United States
under state control. He led the fight on
the floor of the house for the fellow
servant bill, known as the personal
Injury" bill, which the railroad en-
ployes had long waited for. He also
had passed the corrupt practice ACT with
the object of securing cleaner elections.
He introduced and made vigorous
fight for the enactment of an anti pass
bill. His legislative record is such that
his platform promises are taken at full
value.
He is in full sympathy with the peo-
pie and is by education and training
veil qualified to represent this state in
congress.
Mr.. Young is honest and honorable
and fearless advocate of the right. He
belongs to the wing of the republican
party known as progressives or insur-
gents, but if elected will without doubt
be the servant of all the people.-valley

LARGE TAFT BANNER ACROSS
STREET TORN DOWN BY
UNKNOWN PARTIES.

Bryan Says If Vanda!s Thought
They Were Helping Him in His
Canvass They Are Mistaken.

Lincoln, Neb., July 10.-Some uni.
dentlned party last night cut down and
burned the large Taft banner which
had been SUSPENDED across the street
here.
The occurrence vas not accompa
MED by any demonstration, as few peo-
pie were on the street. The work is
believed to have been that OF a single
person, or at most two, operating from
opposite sides of the street.
When informed of the affair, w. H.
Hayward, chairman of the republican
state committee, said:
Will Put Up Another.
""The cutting and burning of the
banner was a great surprise to me and
| cannot understand the motive. |
shall place an order at once for a new
one. but it will take some time to get
1t. as the netting has to come from
Chicago. For the insult TO the party
organization l car very little, and Mr..
Taft will pay no attention to the insult
to him. Both will survive the act OF
vandalism. This will o drive us
away from Lincoln. We expect to put
UP a new banner, and, if necessary, we
shall guard it."
Bryan Says It viii Not Help.
Mr.. Bryan. when told of the destruc-
ton of the republican banner, said:

it thought he was helping me or the

taken"
