tended. J. P. Youngdahl, the Minnea-
polls temperance orator, Was d rouslng
sneaker and many went away with
the feeling that they had enlisted in
the fight against the liquor traffic.
The speech was alleviated by muSl-
cal numbers furnished by the North
Dakota Agricultural College Cleo club
and BY the college "Y' quartet.
Following the election OF officers
yesterday afternoon appropriate
resolutions were adopted endorsing
many things for which there is much
sentiment in the state.
Resolutions.
Following are the resolutions adopt"
Ell by tile conventions:
Resolved: The members Of the North
Dakota Enforcement league in the
twentieth annual convention congrat-
ulated themselves and the people OF
the state Of North Dakota that the last
year has been in many respects the
best and most effective year OF the
existence of the league.
That, the work done and success Sc
cured is largely due to the efforts Of
the superintendent, Rev. F. /. Wat
kins. who has as in the preceding
two years in the same position, been
untiring and capable in performance
of the duties Of his important and try
ing office.
That while he has been we'll sup
ported by encouragement, cooperation
and contributions, we beSpeak Tor
him and the, league in the future even
greater assistance and more generous
and more promptly paid contributions.
That, we approve the reports Of our
president. r. B.. Griffith and u SUI
perintendent. Rev. r. L. Watkins, and
recommend the publication thereof by
the press of the state.
That we take the opportunity to
thank the newspapers of the state
which have given publicity to the
plans of work, advertised the meet
ings and conventions and given every
material aid to the cause OF moral
reform and law enforcement, and ex-
press it as our belief that the friendly
newspapers have been one of the large
aids to the success of the North Da-
kota Enforcement league.
That we acknowledge with graft
tude the help and cooperation of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
the North Dakota Total Abstinence
association and other like societies
and organizations of this state in the
work of this league.
Believing that respect for law is
developed to a. great extent In the
home, and that that respect is more
likely to be enhanced when all citi-
zens have the opportunity to take
part and have a voice in the govern
ment which makes those laws. there
fore, we favor the extension of equal
suffrage to women and pledge our
selves to use our best efforts to Sc
cure its adoption and endorsement by
the voters of, the state, at the gem
eral election which occurs Nov. 3,
1914.
That we earnestly commend the ac-
tion OF the members of our last leg
islative assembly, who by works and
votes added to and strengthened our
laws for civic betterment, and by
such work and votes defeated the
proposed submission OF a constitutions
al amendment which would have in
effect foisted upon the people OF this
state resubmission, skillfuliy covered
and referendum, and in this connec
ton we expressly commend the indie
pendent and courageous. action OF
Lieut.. Gov. A. q. Kraabel and We
recommend him to the people OF this
state, regardless OF party, as q who
can be trusted implicitly with the
best interests Of the people under all
circumstances.
That we recognize the excellent and
effective aid OF the Webb law, and
