Cando. N. D.. Jan. 1s.-The follow
ing resolutions have been adopted:
We. your committee, appointed at
q meeting of the republican central
committee of Towner county, N. D.,
held at the courthouse in the city OF
Cando, on Thursday, Jan. Ii, 1912. to
draft suitable resolutions. beg to re-
port the following:
Resolutions.
I. AS representatives Of the repub-
hcan party Of Towner county, we are
assembled at Cando in conven-
tion on Jan. IL. 1912. We take
pride in referring to the history of
that great party. 1t has been first in
eevry effort to develop and improve
the condition of the American people.
Its unblemished record of over fifty
years standing Is ais priceless a mon
ument 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
tion 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 unfIinching deyo-
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.
Q believe that the man who has
SO ably ruled the nation since March.
1903, whose sincerity and honesty IN
the discharge Of his duties as presi-
dent of the United States, are unoues-
tionable even by those who may not be
in accord with the policies of the pres
ent administration, ana whose high
est aim in life is to comply with the
declaration OF our martyred president.
Abraham Lincoln, to the effect that
this shall be government ''of the peo-
pie, for the people. and by the people"
We believe that such a man is the
Honorable VIM, III. Taft, president of
the United States, and we earnestly
recommend that delegation favor
able to the candidacy OF VIM. III. Taft
for president of the United States be
secured by the people OF this state at
the coming primaries.
3. We believe that the man 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, N. D.,
whom We are proud to endorse un-
qualifiedly 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 ac-
tion. Hon. H. T. Helgesen of Milton,
n. d., is at the present time
a candidate from this district for that
Office. He is one of the pioneers Of
North Dakota. His life has been de-
voted to the development and building
up Of North Dakota. His untiring ef-
forts in that respect and his un-
swerving devotion to the interests of
his constituents and the nation have
been and are such In and out OF Office
as to enlist our unanimous approval
and endorsement Of his candidacy.
S. BY his unfailing devotion to the
duties of his Office and his impartial
attitude in the discharge of Justice,
Judge John f. Cowan has won and
merited feelings Of gratitude and ap-
probation from the people of our
county Judge Cowan has most ably
filled the offlcial position of juice 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 1t is
man in whom we have implicit con-
fidence. Judge Cowans record as a
jurist commands that confidence of us
all. His manhood, his experience, his
learning, his knowledge of human af =
fairs and his penetrating power Of
analyzing right between men COM
mend Judge Cowan to us and entities
him to our unqualified support. Let
us therefore reiterate our motto:
ssroWner county is united for Judge
aCowafl.
8. During the coming election the
people OF this state are to nominate
and elect an attorney general. The le-
gal matters OF North Dakota require
that he be man who is proficient in
