REFUSE THIRD
PARTY NOMINATION
CANDIDATES ON REPUBLICAN
STATE TICKET STAND ON
PRIMARY NOMINATION.
REPUBLICAN

PRIMARY NOMINATION.
The most interesting feature of
the present political campaign is the
determination of the nominees for
state Office in the recent Republican
primary to remain on the Republi-
can ticket. This determination has
just been made known through a
letter to George M. Gray, chairman
of the Republican state central COM
mittee, signed by the candidates,
and has caused a great sensation in
political circles in all parties.
The action of the Republican NOM
inees means that they prefer to ac-
cept the nomination given them by
the Republican voters rather than
leave the party to accept the nomi-
nation rendered them by the late
Progressive convention at Fargo.
The letter of the candidates to
Chairman Gray, in which the reas-
ons for their action are set forth,
follows:
Statement to Voters by Republican
Candidates.
To George M. Gray, Chairman Re-
publican State Central Committee,
State of North Dakota.
Dear Sir: The undersigned, reg
ularly nominated candidates of the
Republican party of the state of
North Dakota, at the regularly call
ed and held primaries of the Repub-
lican party, and who have thereby
become candidates before the elect
ors of the state for the various Offices
for which they were nominated,
stand for the principles and policies
of the Republican party.
The Republican party of the state
of North Dakota is vital force for
the, good government Of the state as
proved by its long and honorable rec
ord. It's policies are progressive
and its aims are for the good of all
the people of the state.
It has put on the statute books of
the state the legislation that has ad-
vanced North Dakota to the front
rank of the states of this Union and
it has been responsive to the desires
of the people of the state.
The primary law Of this state was
enacted so that there might be full
and fair expression OF the choice Of
the voters of the state. Such an
expression has been fairly had and
it is the duty Of every Republican
candidate SO chosen and every Re
publican voter who participated in
that choice, now to stand by the
nominees SO chosen as candidates Of
the Republican party.
The regularly nominated candi-
dates Of the Republican party are not
and will not be candidates for Office
upon any but the Republican party
ticket and will support the Republi-
can ticket regularly nominated, and
urge the Republican voters of the
state to support and aid in the elec-
tion Of the Republican state ticket.
This statement is made that you
may be advised Of the intention Of
the regularly nominated candidates
whose signatures are appended here
to and that the voters of the state
may have knowledge Of the issues in
this campaign and the attitude Of
the Republican candidates.
