Announcement.

! hereby announce my candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
meber of the House of Representa-
tives Of the Legislative Assembly of
the state of North Dakota for the 10Th
District at the primary election to be
held on June oath, 1908.
l have no particular pet theories,
except that I am a Republican oe-
cause believe that no other party
has written SO many glorious pages
Of history as the party of Lincoln and
I believe it is today the party of the
people as it was at the beginning.
I also believe that Theodore Roose-
welt is a worthy successor to the noble
line of his predecessors. also believe
that the Republican party is the
party of Progress and achievement,
party of young men and men not
afraid to meet responsibility.
If nominated and elected, I shall
endeayor to carry out the Republican
party principles as interpreted by
Theodore Roosevelt during the past
seven years. believe that today
there is a rising tide in human
thought which tends to honesty and
square deal to every man, and II
elected, shall endeavor to promote
the enactment of just laws and an CO.
onomical administration Of the state
affairs. The Ward county farmer Is
almost universally the owner Of the
farm he tills. He should dominate
and control the political and econo-
mical affairs Of the district because he
is the mainstay and upon him the
burden of taxation must fall heavily.
For some reason the farmers taxes
are unreasonably high and am In
favor Of our state revenue laws, the
creation Of tax commission, to the
end that all classes Of property be
taxed fairly and honestly.
I believe that the permanent and
substantial growth Of this region
justines the belief that instead Of
making q large appropriation for the
enlargement Of the normal schools
now in state, Minot should have .
we'll equipped and up to date normal
school; that 1t is the duty Of the
next Legislative Assembly to take
the necessary steps to bring this
about. II nominated and elected, I
pledge myself to subordinate other
matters to the carrying out Of this
idea.
II successful, shall consider It a
paramount duty clearly entailed to be
always active and vigilant in season
and out OF season to safeguard the
rights Of all the people Of the 18th
Legislative District.
