To the republican voters of North

To the republican voters of North
Dakota:
The republican state committee,
through It's regularly elected officers,
calls upon the republican voters of
the state to lend their aid toward the
election of the republican state tick
ct from top to bottom.
The legislature of North Dakota,
through its republican majority, enact
ed a primary law in obedience to the
popular WILL Under that primary law
noimees for the republican party
have been chosen. The republicans
had their differences before the pri-
mary election and fought them out
in June. After the primaries their
should be no factions. The candi-
dates nominated are no longer candi-
dates of any faction of the republican
party but they are the republican can
didates.
Every consideration Of party fealty
and of squareness and fairness on the
part of the republican voters demands
that the republican state candidates
be supported at the polls by the re-
publican voters of the state The at

| republican party by the placing of a
| third party ticket in nomination for
| any or all of the offices in this state
| should be seen by the republicans in
it's real significance an attempt
merely to weaken the republican
strength, and one that can be of no
| benefit except to the democrats who
are waging vigorous and persistent
campaign for the election of their
entire state ticket.
The democrats have had control of
| the state government during the past
six years. In that time the leaders
of the democratic party have been de-
voting their efforts to the building up
of a democratic machine. The Off
GERS and agents of the democratic
party are everywhere through the
state seeking to promote the election
Of democratic candidates, state, coun.
ty and legislative. The republicans OF
the state should appreciate the real
significance of the attempted divi-
sion of the republican strength as a
move which can be only in the inter-
ests of the democratic party.
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, man of splendid ability,
personal integrity and against whom
| no word can be truthfully said,
either in his business career or pri-
vate life. He has served the state
efficiently and honorably as congress
man 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.. Han
| ma was fairly nominated at state
wide primary. No good reason can
be advanced by any republican in the
state why Mr.. Hanna should not have
the united support of his party at this
election. "a r.
Mr.. Hanna obeyed the primary law
of the state. and made his campaign
directly before all the voters of the
state. He was not chosen by con
vention or a committee of a small
number of voters. He won fairly at
the primary and should be supported
by every republican voter at the polls
The republican candidates for the
other state offices are we'll known and
earned their nominations as republi'
cans at the same state wide primary
They are standing for election as re.
publieans. They are united in sup.
port of the entire state ticket and they
should receive the republican support,
to which they have earned their right
by fair, square, primary fight.
This campaign is a test of the real
value of a state wide primary law.
