has been heard in the opera house
{ for many years. Tuesday. night. The
house was we'll filled with an intel
,ligent and critical audience, or re-
publicans and democrats who follow
ed every word of the speakers ad-
dress closely. There was hearty ap-
plauseS showing the. telling points
which met the approval OF the au-
I dience. The speaker was introduc-
ed by. +. G. Kneeland and plunged
at once into what he had to say.
He advised every republican who be-
lieYed in the principles and policies
Of that party to support the party

He urged. every republican Of
North Dakota to look beyond the To-,
cal and party Influences that might
work to change his vote, and to re-;
member that all the progress Of this
great nation has come thru support
ing republican candidates pledg-
ed to carry out the progressive re-
publican policies of Roosevelt and
the Il great leadership of the
party in the: past. The speaker
closed by highly complimenting Sen

cumstances as those on the ground
Senator Clapp said in direct lan-
guage that every republican who is.
in sympathy with the republican par
ty should support the republican can
didate for governor of North Dako-
ia and not take any chances in allow
ing democratic candidate for gov
ernor to succeed in a republican state
and to have possible opportunities
Of building UP and strengthening
democratic measure in congress.
For the democratic party is the real
reactionary and non-progressive par
ty in this country, and during fifty
years has never been able to weave
into the laws of the country any sin
gle great policy of progress and re-
form to curb the spirit Of greed
that assails the people Of every state.
Senator Clapp said iu substance:
All human progress comes from
the rank and file Of humanity. No
feudal lord ever willingly went out
to meet his subjects to give up the
key to his castle. The republican
party has proved itself to be the par.
sty Of progress and the party Of the
people Of this country, and It has has
done so by being true to its leader
ship which has reflected the wishes
Of the people.
The democratic party ts the auto ITO
cratic and reactionary party OF the
country. IN these times many peo-
pie say that there Is . political chaos,
:
that both parties are split into 3tac-.
lions and that 4. spirit Of. unrest pre-
