Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-02-13

ests under the leadership Of Cannon
and Aldrich is abhorrent to the dem
ocratic party of North Dakota. We
favor revision Of the rules of the
house of representatives and a
change in the control of the senate
of the United States in the interests
of the common people in order that
their expressed desires to their rep
resentatives in congress may be
enacted into law.
I'VE favor the conservation of the
natural resources of this republic In
the interests of the masses, not the
classes, the same being democratic
doctrine as announced in democratic
platforms.
1--WE pledge the democratic party
of the state of North Dakota to do it's
! utmost towards the enactment of
some wise, practical law, by which
all depositors in state and national
banks may be insured against loss.
I've heartily favor the nomination
of complete congressional, state,
county and legislative democratic
tickets. Having established the prin-
ciple of non.partisan judiciary we
hold to its firm maintenance and base
our support on fitness alone.
The democratic endorsement of
the governor is to be expected, mas
much as the governors ability as a
campaigner and as politician is the
strongest asset of the democratic
party in the state, and he is the re-
lance of the leaders of the party in
their hopes of retaining control of
the state government and the pa
tronage that goes with it. 1t is al.
together to be expected that the
democrats should denounce the tar
if bill, as they expect to make their
campaign on it, and it is about the
only issue they have left. The fl
nance question found the democratic
party fundamentally wrong, and it
has been abandoned. The bank de-
post insurance scheme Is fundamen-
tally unsound, and the declaration
for it in the resolutions is faint and
uncertain. The statements with ref
erence to the control of the senate
by the Interests" are such as might
be expected from the party out of
power. There is nothing new in it,
and it has been prated by dema-
gogues and agitators for the past
fifty or sixty years. 1t is stock in
trade for the party out Of power and
ought to be so understood.
We call to the attention of the
people of the state the real attitude
of the democrats as indicated by
their pledges to Glow tariff" The
democratic party has been and is a
free trade party or a tariff for rev.
enue party. We had some expert
ence with the democratic policies
back in the early nineties, when soup
houses were numerous, the bread line
was long and pitiable, Coxey's army
was afoot and a democratic president
refused to sign a democratic tariff
bill as "reeking with party perfidy
and dishonor."
1t is we'll for the people of this
state to differentiate between demo-
cratic promises and democratic per-
formances. We have the record of
the democratic party on silver, bank |
deposit guaranty, and long line of !,
national issues, on all of which they |
have been fundamentally unsound,
On the other hand we have a record !
IF prosperity for the past dozen
years of republican rule that is un-
exampled in the history of the coun-
Try. and today We have the farmers
If this state prosperous, contented,
we'll paid for their products and en-
lied of all classes 1t is for the
'armers of this state to say whether
prosperity for the shadow of demo-
'ratic promises.
