VOTERS OF NORTH DAKOTA

truth. We must become all Progress
sive or all Stalwart. We must be for
Roosevelt and his policies or for Al
drich, Cannon and their polices. That's
the political question at issue in this
state now and it is here to stay until it
is settled-and settled right. 1t is use
less to cry peace! peace! where there is
no peace.
CANDIDATES.
The individual candidate means but
little as compared with the great prin-
ciples underlying the Progressive Re
publican cause. There are, no doubt,
hundreds of Progressive Republicans
throughout our state the equal in char
acter and capacity to those who repre-
sent US as candidates. Bear this in
mind however, that while there were
other candidates. all of them of ster-
ling worth and character and entitled to
the loyal support of the good citizens,
still they have put aside their personal
ambitions and today are loyalty sup
porting our cause and the candidates
who represent it.
HARMONY IN PROGRESSIVE RANKs.
Our ranks today stand unbroken and
the utmost harmony prevails. For the
first time in the history of our state
the cause of clean politics and good
government is thoroughly organized and
presents solid front to an opposition
which is disorganized, demoralized and
disintegrating. The Republican stall
wart machine of the state is in the
hands of three men-Kennedy, Nc
Cumber and Hanna-a triumvirate
whose sole measure of politicalstrength
is that of brokers dealing in patronage
and passes, backed up by that portion
of the state press which has no indie
pendence Of thought or action, and the
unlimited money of the interests. The
determination of the people to stoI
this tendency and to array themselves
somewhere, somehow against this great

THE CAUSE GREATER THAN THE 1NnI.
vIDUAL.
Our interest in candidates extends nc
farther than that they are the neces-
sary instruments of government. -Oul
concern is not so much for party candi
dates therefore as it is for the .politica
future of the state and nation and .ths
best welfare of the Republican party
The intelligent people of this state
if alert and active, can easily win sthil

the friends of good government ii

THE POLITICAL BATTLE.

The political battle to be fought out
at the primaries, June 29th, in this
state, will command not only the inter-
est of the people Of this state, but Of
the entire nation. The progressive re-
publicans of North Dakota have formed
an organization for the purpose of pro-
noting the principles and policies which
they believe are vital to the welfare Of
the Republican party both in state and
nation. Progressive Republicanism has
ceased to be q state question. It is now
national issue.
WE ARE REPUBLICANS.
We are at all times Republicans and
will fight this battle out within the Re-
publican party, but we, at the same
time, believe the Roosevelt policies
should be enacted into law, and party
pledges and party promises kept in
violate.

Progressive RepubAicanism in North
Dakota and the nation stands commit
ted to the Roosevelt policies and the
redemption of pledges made to the
people in the national platform of 1908.
1t stands for the maintenance of politi-
cal freedom of the people and against
the control of the party boss. It stands
for the early passage and effective ex-
ecution of such iegislation, both state
and national, as will best remedy the
evils and right the wrongs of which the
people justly ccmplsin. It stands fca
the preservation Of the party of Lin.

Stalwartism would attempt to harmon.

progressive Repubicanism by process
of reconstruction. The one, rathe,

other, by the presentation and election

from all over the state received during
the past few weeks bolster me up in
this statement and if these Indications
form the basis for true estimate of
the situation. the progressive republi-
can ticket will be elected from top to
bottom. The sentiment in favor of the
congressional ticket is strong and there
in no doubt but what James Buchanan
will be the republican nominee for
governor at the primaries. :"

Bridge is Satisfactory.

Messrs. F. e. Randall of Ludden, B.
S. Hodges, of Glendale and G. W.
Sullivan Of Merricourt, members of
the board Of county commissioners,
spent Tuesday night in the city and
next morning went to the new steel
bridge across the Jim four miles north
of Cakes, where they were Joined by
Chairman Stevens. The Hewitt Com
pany had just completed their work
there and the visit was for the purpose
of inspection. On their return they
said the bridge was entirely satisfac-
tory.
The equipment is now being hauled
to the bridge west Of Oakes, where
the old bridge will be replaced with q
fine new steel one that will be REIN
forced with concrete, and no stays ov-
erhead. The injunction filed against
the bridge failed to take effect as the
plaintiff did not file the bond required.
Chairman Stevens says the road will
have to be closed a couple Of days
soon, as the roadway of the old bridge
will be used in a temporary one to- be
put iifwhile the new one is being built.
The exact time of closingis not known
at this writing, but will be announced.
