l.. Burdick of this city, lieutenant
governor of the state, republican, in
a formal statement gives his attitude
concerning the coming election. He
opposes third party state ticket.
He declares that he will support the
entire republican ticket in North Da-
kota, declaring his belief that the re-
publican party in the state Is thor
oughly progressive.
''The progressive movement was Or
ganized for the purpose OF driving spe-
cial legislation out of politics" he says.
"I joined the very first movement or
this sort in the state and have never
deviated particle from this stand. In
office and out Of office, have done
everything in my power to make our
marty what it was once-a party OF
the people. by the people and for the
| people. .s ...r ,....... ...
G''The party in this state today has
| the confidence of the people. Two
years ago II adopted a progressive
platform and a progressive house and
senate made every promise good
something that had not been done be-
| fore in the history of the state. The
party is now progressive and I think
we may look forward with confidence
to the next Legislature. We will see
the initiative and referendum and re-
| call and other progressive measures,
passed including a bill to provide for
the physical valuation of our railroads.
Says Party is Progressive.
'In this state our party is progress
, sive and nearly every man upon our
state ticket is a progressive, from L.
B. Hanna down, and their nominations
have been obtained by a direct vote of
| the people, and they should, therefore,
receive the support of the people, and
we cannot, as progressives, throw
| away all we have gained, by quitting
| the party, but to remain a true re-
publican does not mean that we shall
| blindly accept every nomination as
| binding upon US. A stolen manipula-
| ton, plainly in disregard of the will of
the people is not such a nomination
as should command the respect of any
partisan.
80 remain a true republican does
not mean that platform adopted by a
| convention composed of questionable
delegates shall be our creed. AS a
| progressive republican reserve the
right to totally disregard the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Taft and in my opinion
the republican party OF this state is
under no obligation to tie itself to
| the Taft campaign. and should the
party do so it will be almost sure to
meet defeat.
Under conditions which we now have
in the republican party, the princi-
pie of party solidarity is vicious, and
/ for one reserve the right to vote for
any one Of Mr. Taft's opponents whom
l believe to be thoroughly progress
| sive."
