SAAA'
GERS. calls upon the republican voters
Of the state to lend their aid toward
the election Of the Republican State
Ticket from top to bottom.
The Legislature Of North Dakota,
through its republican majority, en-.
acted a primary law in obedience
to the popular will. Under that
primary law nominees for the re-
publican party have been chosen.
The republicans had their differ.
ences before the primary election
and fought them out in June. After
the primaries there should be no
factions. The candidates nominated
are no longer candidates of any
faction Of the republican party but
they are Republican Candidates. Z
Every consideration Of party feal.
~ and Of s%quareness and fairness
on the part of the republican voters
demands that the Republican State
Candidates be supported at the polls
by the republican voters Of the
state.
The Republican ticket in this
state comprises men Of tried ability
and for whom every republican
should be pleased to cast his ballot.
The ticket is headed by l.. B. Hanna
OF Cass county, a man Of splendid
ability. personal integrity and
against whom no word can be truth.
fully said, either In his business
career or private life. He has serv,
ed the state efficiently and honor.
ably as congressman for the past
four years. He has the business
capacity and knowledge OF affairs to
give the state of North Dakota an
administration that shall reflect
credit upon the state and be Of
hard dollars and cents value to
every taxpayer in the state. Mr.
Hanna was fairly nominated at a
statewide. primary. No good reason
q be advanced by any republican
IN the state by Mr.. Hanna should
not have the united support of bis
party at this election.
Mr.. Hanna obeyed the primary
law OF the state and made his cam
paign directly before all the voters
OF the state. He war not chosen
by a convention or a committee of a
small number Of voters. He won
fairly at the primary and should ba
supported by every republican voter
at the polls.
The republican candidates for thd
other state Offices are we'll known
and earned their nominations as rel
publicans at the same statewide
primary. They are standing foH
election as Republicans. They ara
united in support of the entire state
ticket and they should receive the
republican support to which they
have earned their right by a fair,
square, primary fight.
This campaign is a test Of tho
real value Of a statewide primary
law. IT a nomination at the primary
has no meaning, If the obligation Of
republicans to vote for a republican
candidate fairly chosen a be light,
ly dismissed, then what is to be the
effect upon the future Of the primary
What man of worth and ability will
seek a nomination, If 1t has no sig
ni1cance. and If 1t bears with 1t no
honorable obligation upon the voters
of his party to abide by the will Of
the majority, fairly expressed?
The Republican State Committee
has faith in tho inherent fairness
and sQuareness OF :the republican
voters Of the state. 1t asks them to
and say whether any party can bd
maintained If the will of the MAJORS
ty is to be disregarded.
The State Committee Of the Re,
publican party will conduct as Wig,
a campaign az 1t has means
and ability for the entire republican
state ticket. 1t will be a campaign
of appeal to the fairness and In
telligent judgment of tho voters. 1t
will no countenance personal attack
or resort to any 9 that should
not appeal to tho good judgment Of
honorable and decent men.
The State Committee asks you Ia
lend your aid and assistance as q
republican, to the success OF the en-.
tire republican state ticket.
