APPEAL FROM
new N. D. LEAGUE
THE ROOSEVELT REPUBLICAN
LEAGUE HEADED BY MORE,
BEARD, BOWLING, cREEoAN
AND BAKER URGES VOTERS TO
CAST BALLOT FOR TEDDY.

To the voters Of North Dakota:
Laying aside all factional differences
and the misconceptions which must
arise when men are stirred by deep
political convictions, this situation
confronts the voters of North Dako-
ia: Two progressive republicans, both
men of undoubted honesty, ability and
courage, are offered for choice as to
which you will prefer for president by
your votes on March 10. OF these two
only n can be selected and It is
your duty as a republican-especially
as a progressive r~epublican-to select
a man who will draw the largest ma
tional support in the coming election.
| North Dakota cannot elect a president,
but North Dakota has an opportunity
I seldom given to a single ~state-she
can, by her vote next Tuesday, say
to the country at large, Here is the
man who is to be our next presi-
dent; he suits us-we know him-he
lived with us, and we stand by him"
Decided convictions are held by the
majority of progressive republicans
throughout the United States that
there is one progressive republican
who can be nominated against Presi-
dent Taft-and after nomination be
elected. 1t is only by cooperation
with the country at large that North
Dakota can assist in the election of
a republican president. Do you as a
republican and a citizen wish to say
to the country at large next Tuesday
that o are not in line with pro-
gressives in the great states which
must be carried for our candidate
if any republican is elected? With
the aus of progressive re~publicanism
as deeply at heart as any reader of
this letter can possibly have, we are
sincerely Of the opinion that but one
progressive candidate has the slight
est chance Of a national nomination
or election.
The eyes of the country at large are
upon North Dakota. Progressives from
other sections-many Of them sections
where progressive thought is getting
Its first expression-look to this old
home of the only progressive presi-
dent the United States has eVer had
for the inspiration and the leadership
that will sweep him into the presi-
Dental chair at the coming election.
This election is crucial in the history
Of progressiveism-the opportunity is
one which seldom comes to the peo-
pie of a state like North Dakota.
This is a fight Of principles battle
Of issues-not of men. Your part is

to help in the selection of a man who
is the embodiment of all that pro-
gresstves believe in-and who as a
leader is the only man behind whom
a solid phalanx OF progressives-re-
pubIicans and democrats alike-can
and will march to a wonderful victory
at the polls.
We make no disparagement of other
candidates-we admire and offer our
gratitude to every leader who is do
ing a great work for the cause in
which we believe, but we appeal to
you in the name Of that cause to mark
for your preference the name which
for years has been one to copjure
with wherever human brotherhood has
made an advance, Theodore Roose-
welt. Remember that the magic of that
name will carry with 1t into office not
only a president, but congressman,
governors and state officers from the
ranks Of progressive republicans who
will serve the people and the peoples

ance Of the u

licans-identified with that element OF

sLo6AN-HE HAS MADE NO
PLEDGES OR PROMISES OF APP
PoINTMENTs - WORTHY OF
YOUR VOTE.

TO the people OF Fargo: Now that
the municipal campaign is drawing to
a close, / wish to take this opportunity
to say a few words in r~eiteration of
my position as stated at the outset of
my candidacy for the office of mayor.
There has been set afloat by the OPP
ponents many reports, all tending to
defeat my election. None Of these re-
ports have the slightest foundation of
fact.
] have made no pledges as to ap-
pointees, in the event of my election,
and will make none.
/ am not under the influence or di-
rection of any party, faction or po-
htical leadership. I am positively free
from n influence which would not be
In accord with a policy which would
be rebound to the credit Of the city
and meet with the approval of all who
would like to see Fargo a bigger and a
better city, free from factional strife
and boss rule.
/ know no master but the people
whose servant I aspire to be. I have
but n aim in view in becoming a
candidate for mayor, and that is to
give the people Of this city such an
administration as would go down in
history in accord with my stated plat
form, "a square deal for ALL"
I believe there is such a thing as
"a square deal for ALL" even in mum
icipal affairs and I would like the
honor of introducing the innovation.
I have no friends to reward or en-
emies to punish, if elected. My aim
would be to fill each office in control
of the mayor with men best fitted for
he position to which selected.
I have managed my own campaign.
from start to finish, and hope 1t has
met h approval of all those who ap-
p~reciate a clean contest. 1 believe no
word had dropped from my lips which
could offend the ear or MAJ the ties
of friendship. This is my home for
the balance Of my days, and I wish to
pass those days in an atmosphere of
peace and good will to all.
In my candidacy and platform of
principles appeals to you I shall be
pleased to have your endorsement at
the polls on Tuesday. Respectfully,

What OF that letter to Mrs. Bixby,
"the mother Of Eve sons who have
died gloriously on the field Of battle?"
He ended this note to an obscure
woman, Yours very sincerely and re-
specially, Abraham Lincoln; where
as to the powerful Greeley he did not
deign the courtesy Of his full name:
Yours, "A. Lincoln

and white.
What Of his Lost Speech" made at
Bloomington, ILL.,, in 1856, at the or
ganization Of the Republican party
and socalled because all the reporters,
conquered by his eloquence, forgot to
take notes? One young lawyer kept
his head better than the others and
managed to get some shorthand notes.
From these and from a remarkable
memory he wrote down years after
what all surviving hearers unite in
calling an accurate rendering Of this
unique speech.
Much has been written Of Lincoln's
humor-as though he were mere

To me this humor was a far bigger
and grander thing than his fooling.
His anecdotes, brilliant and illum-
mating as they were, like summer
lighting, merely indicated the remote
storm below the horizon. His humor
was his sanity his balance. He knew
how to do the right as he saw the
right and bide the well done' Of the

This Illinois railsplitter reminds me
Of no one SO much as Jesus, the son of
the Nazarene carpenter. Lincoln was
second only to one in being the tallest,

The disastrous defeat of Chancel-
louisville was due to Hooker's failure
to use all his men, an error Of judg-
ment against which Lincoln had warn
ed him.
When Hooker wanted to attack the
Confederate rear at Fredericksburg,
Lincoln dissuaded him in graphic
smile: In one word, / would not take
any risk Of being entangled upon the
river, like an OK jumped half over 8
fence and liable to be torn by dogs
front and rear without fair chance
to gore one way or kick the other"
And he likewise vetoed the plan Of ad-
vancing on Richmond at this juno
ture, reminding Hooker that lees
army, and not Richmond, is your true
objective point. q. Fight him, too.
when opportunity offers. If he stays
where he is. fret him and fret him."
Lincoln, by q kind Of intuition, d.
vined the right thing to do. He had
no real military experience. When he
was made captain OF tho saDgamon
county company in the Black Hawk
war, he did not know how to. get his
men (marching 20 abreast) through q
gate. and he shouted: "This company
is dismissed for two minutes, when it
will fall in again on the other side OF
the gate" t.g
When member Of the house Of
representatives, Mr.. Lincoln thus de-
scribed his military career in depre-
eating the efforts Of General Cass's
friends to make it appear that the
latter was a great military hero. 'By
the way, Mr.. Speaker, do you know I
am military hero? Yes, sir, in the
days of the Black Hawk war fought,
bled AID came away. Speaking of
General Cass's career reminds me of
my own. I was not at Stillman's de-
