men whom we have been protecting
shall pay US such price for oul
wheat that they consume in the shape
OF bread and flour as shall protect US,
without bringing in grain and other
farm produce raised in other counties
free of duty. AS We pay the price OF
protection, let us have it fol- our
selves"
Mr.. Tuttle is in favor of national
grain grading law that will give the
raiser of hard wheat the benefit Of
the grade he Produces. He is against
the abuses practiced n the handling
and marketing of the wheat raised by
North Dakota farmers, and from his
long knowledge and experience has
very decided and definite plans fol-
the correction of these abuses. He
wants the waterways like the Mis-
souri, river improved so that the farm,
er may have cheap and convenient
means of transportation. He is in
favor of legislation in the interest OF
the homesteader-that advance agent
Of the growth and wealth of a from
tier state. II pledge myself says
Col. Tuttle," # am chosen to prep
resent the people Of the district in
congress, to represent them fairly,
honestly. energetically, and that every
act and vote shall be as see the best
| interest and the advancement of all
the people, irrespective Of class or
condition." And when Tuttle makes
that pledge it is the pledge of a man
who has been forty years in the world
Of business and whose word is held
good by every man with whom he
had dealings. He is not a dodger or
a side stopper.
In the matter of Canadian reciproci-
ty, Mr.. Tuttle actively through the
press of the state took up the cudgel
for the farmers, and insisted that the
farmer Of the northwest be not made
the burden bearers for the whole
country, but that they be given the
same measure of protection that was
accorded other classes of producers
and his sane and sensible public
articles on this subjects are we'll re-
membered. Mr.. futile has been &C.
tive in promoting the growth of the
western part of the state by enlisting
his influence toward the building of
new lines of road. He has urged Ill.,
on the farmers the wisdom of diversi-
hcation, and has contributed literally
all movements in the direction of
better farming. Many of the strug-
Cling communities in the central and
western part of the state have prof
tied through Tuttle's frequent contri-
buttons to libaries and to public bene-
factions. He has appeared frequent
ly at public meetings as a speaker,
giving the people the benefit of his
experience in the field of business
and farming. His addresses are
terse, vigorous and full of sane COM
ment And in all things he is modest,
working all the time for the good of
the state and it's people, and yet pre-
terring to keep himself in the back
ground-a characteristic of men of
big frames and big minds.
Mr.. futile is not entangled with
any factional alliances. He is first
OF all republican, firm believer in
the policies Stathe party. He believes
that the republican party to be the
servant Of the people must be fully
abreast of the times-that there
must be no backslidng or standing
still. He believes in going ahead
carefully, wisely, and sensible, as
business man would develop in the
growth of his business. When an
issue comes up, he believes in meet
ing it-not in straddling or evading
public question. In conversation
ne is frank, out spoken, and when
you hear from him you know exactly
where he stands. He believes that
the leaders of the various wings of
all parties may differ as to means
but that the honest men who have
achieved leadership earnestly desire
the best good of the whole people.
And to that ends he pledges himself
to help, if he chosen as a candidate
for the nomination for congress.
1t may be that for personal. or
other reasons, old time friendships,
local pride or other causes, many
voters feel it their duty to cast a vote
for some other candidate for first
choice. In that event, no better vote
could be cast for second choice than
for futile. 1t will be a vote for a
sterling American citizen and citizen
Of North Dakota.
The man who is not bound to some
other candidate for any of the reasons
stated, but is Aerely searching among
the candidates for the one who has
the best capacity and quality to rep
resent this second district, should
have no hesitation in picking futile
as the man for first choice. He has
made good-he will make good. He
Is independent, sound on public ques-
clons, believes in going forward in
the interest of the people, can't be
pulled or bribed, and has clear
Idea OF the things the people of the
district need, and he has energy to
60 and get them.
Col. Tuttles wide acquaintance
with the big public men Of the north
west is a valuable asset for the state.
He stands high in the business world
and enjoys the friendship, respect
and confidence Of leaders OF industry
all through the country. He isn't a
politician in anv sonso ~ +ho uuord
