Cando, N. D., Jan. l3.-The first of
the political gatherings to be held IN
the Lake Region occurred here when
tho Republican Central comm'tte.. Ut
Town county held a meeting in this
city, passing the following resolutions.
We, your committee, appointed at
meeting of the Republican Central Com
mittee of Towner equity, North Dakota,
held at the Court House in the City Of
Cando, on Thursday, Jan. II, 1912, to
draft suitable resolutions, beg to re-
port the following:
Resolutions.
/. As representatives Of the Repub-
ican party of Towner county, we are
assembled here in convention this 18th
day of January, A. D., 1912. We take
pride in referring to the history of
that great party. It has been first in
every effort to develop and improve the
conditions Of the American people. Its
unblemished record Of over fifty years
standing is as priceless monument as
any organization could have, and we
have unbounded faith that it will meet
all emergencies with the same success
that it has in the past.
2. The Republican party of the Ma
ton is soon to select its standard bear
er for the November elections of 1912.
Such standard bearer must be a man
who has proven his unhinching devo-
ton to the ideals of the American peo-
pie and who will permit no backward
step in the continuance Of the advance
to realize those ideals.
We believe that the man who has so
ably ruled the nation since March, 1909,
whose sincerity and honesty in the dis
charge of his duties as President of the
United States, are unquestionable, even
by those who may not be in accord
with the policies of the present admin
istration, and whose highest aim in life
is to comply with the declaration of
our Martyred President, Abraham Lin.
coin, to the effect that this shall be a
:, government "Of the people, For the
people, and By the people,"
We believe that such a man is the
Honorable VIM. Fl: Taft, President of
the United States, and we earnestly
recommend that delegation favorable
to the candidacy of VIM. b. Taft for
President of the United States be Sc
cured by the people Of this state at the
coming primaries.
8. We believe that the men whose
record, ability and character best COM
mend him to the people of this state
as the next Governor of the state of
North Dakota, is that man who has
been tried and never found wanting,
that man whose life experience has
versed him in all affairs of state and
nation, that man whose heart is in
sympathy with the people and whose
every work is consecrated to their
welfare and best interests, the Hon
L. B. Hanna of Fargo, North Dakota.
whom we are proud to endorse unquali-
6edly for the Office of Governor of the
state of North Dakota
4. The interests of North Dakota
demand that its Representatives in
Congress be men who believe in action.
Hon. 81. 7. Helgesen, of Milton, North
Dakota, is at the present time can
didate from this district for shat Of
fee. He is one of the pioneers of
North Dakota. His life has been de-
voted to the development and build
ing up of North Dakota. His untiring
efforts in that respect and his unswerv-
ing devotion to the interest of his con-
stituents and the nation have been aud
are such in and out of Office as to en-
list our unanimous approval and ell
dorsement of his candidacy.
5. By his unfailing devotion to the
duties of his Office and his impartial at
titude in the discharge of justice, Judge
John F. Cowan has won and rcrired
feelings of gratitude and appreciation
from the people of our county. Judge
Cowan has most ably filled thte ofic-
lal position of Judge of the Second
Judicial District of our state for years.
Because that Office is most sacred to
US in that it is the guardian of society
and our rights as Americans. we are
most interested in seeing to it that our
choice for this is a man in whom we
have implicit confidence. Judge Cow
ans record as a jurist commands that
confidence of US all. His manhood, his
experiences, his learning, his knew
ledge of human affairs and his p,.net,a-
ing power of analyzing right between
men commend Judge Cowan to US and
entities him to our unqualified support.
Let US therefore reiterate our motto:
"Towner County is united for Judge
Cowoa.'

people of this state are to nominate
and elect an Attorney General. The L.
