Democracy of this state be properly represented in the Democratic
National Convention at Baltimore and that the person to be
recommended for the important trust Of National Committeeman
should be a Democrat without an ak to grind, an enemy to punish
OF a friend to reward, and, moreover, he should be a person always
having the best interests of the party at heart, and, above all, one
who will be ever active and whose sole aim will be to unite and
strengthen the party organization, to the end that it may prove
a potent force and an effective fundamentally for accomplish
ing it's great aim of doing the most good to the greatest num-
Der. You must concede that the Importance to the party of
such a committeeman cannot be over-estimated.
For such a position there are, as you doubtless are aware,
six candidates in the field, the writer being among the number.
1t is up to you to judge of the relative qualifications and merits
of these respective candidates. 1 most respectfully solicit your
support of my candidacy. I have been led to seek the position
solely because of a firm belief that in such position 1 can be of
much service to the party during the ensuing term. 1 have no
other motive whatsoever and if selected for this important
trust 1 promise to exert my every effort toward the advance
ment of the interests of the party, not only in North Dakota,
but throughout the nation.
In speaking for your support I deem it but proper thateI in
form you just where 1 stand as a Democrat and upon what, in
brief, 1 base my claims to your favorable consideration.
I have been a resident of North Dakota for the past fifteen
years and expect to remain here permanently.
I take pride in asserting that I am and always have. been a
Democrat, spending much time and money in the interests of
Democracy. My first vote was cast for Grover Cleveland and
1 have steadfastiy and most Loyalty supported and voted for
each candidate of our party for president ever since. 1 take
special pride and pleasure In saying that I voted for and sup
ported the Hon. William Jennings Bryan each time he ran and L
firmly believe in the principles he SO ably and fearlessly advo-
Gates, and he stands today as, c~oncededly, the greatest states
man and public ~benefactor of his time.
NEST e~heerfuNy and unsquivocaIy endorse the senti-
ments expressed in the resolutions adopted by the state central
csmmhtes at Fargo On January 18th, 1912, and agree to abide
thereby and TO such end | hereby pledge my word Of honor that
/ have not and viii moi, either directly or indirectly, for the
purpose Of securing support in my candidacy for National Com
mitteeman, or otherwise, make amy premises Of endorsements
for Federal patronage. The question Of such patronage is Of
minor importance and should mot be even considered until the
proper time, which is after the accomplishment Of the enc inn
pOrtant aim, the election Of our Democratic candidates from
president dswn.

T. An important constitutional amendment that win be
submitted to the voters at the next general election was intro
duced by me in the Eleventh Legislative Assembly In the shape
of a concurrent resolution providing for a Constitutional Amend
ment authorizing the legislature to provide for North Dakota
grain inspection and the leasing or purchasing Of grain elevators
at terminal points in Minnesota and Wisconsin or in either state.
This Amendment will. make it possible for the farmers of North
Dakota to secure honest inspection of their grain and enable them
to protect themselves against combined interests at the terminal
markets. 1 labored for the passage of this Concurrent Resolution
in, the Eleventh and Twelfth Assemblies and shall continue to
support the Amendment until it is adopted at the next general
election. t
/ also introduced a stringent Anttpass Bill and voted and
worked for the adoption of the present Anti-pass Law. / also
heartily supported and voted for concurrent resolutions provid-
ing for the Initiative, Referendum and Recall.
1 challenge anyone to prove that I ever at any time was on
the side of the corporations and against the interests of the
people. 1 have at all times, as everyone acquainted with the
facts well knows, supported the progressive measures advocat-
ed by Governor Burke.
Some of the ardent supporters of two of my esteemed OPP
ponents are claiming a preference right for the support of their
candidate upon the ground that they are the publishers of Demo-
cratic weekly newspaper Listeni In ~1906-1907 and until it
nearly "broke" me, L published a Democratic newspaper at Grand
Forks-The Evening Press, a daily and weekly and during
Governor Burkes first campaign many thousands of extra copies
were printed and distributed throughout the state for the good
of the cause, and l venture the assertion, without the fear of
successful contradiction, that l have expended more cash and ne
ceived less return in running a Democratic newspaper than any
other man in North Dakota, and if this is 10 be a test for claim
ing the support of Democrats, l am vain enough to claimrt the field
alone.
If selected as your National Committeeman I pledge You my
word that it shall be my constant endeaUor 10 so discharge the
important duties confded to me as to merit the ,cmfdence In
me reposed.
In conclusion, / believe in the Democracy of Jefferson. jack
son and Bryan and if that brand of Democracy is your brand and
| believe it is, and if you deem me worthy of your support e
promise in return for such support that I win not betray- such
trust.
am yours for Democratic victory in 1912,

recognition in this state of his

his steadfast loyalty to the
great principles of Democracy
and his pre-eminent ability
and unquestioned fitness for
this great Office, and as a
just and well earned compli-
ment, Governor John Burke

the fact that the year 1912

next November, Rule by the
people will be restored in lieu
of rule by the trusts; that the
man will again assert his right
full supremacy over the dollar
and that plutocracy will be
forced to abdicate the throne
and Democracy assume full
sway. Owing to the present
