ter the conditions Of those already
located in the state and to induce more
to come and take advantage Of the
natural our yet un~developed.
The greatest need Of North Dakota
is more people. and in order to get
them we must not only advertise our
advantages over other states out get
in personal contact with them and
show them what we have accomplish
ed and produced.
The federation of commercial clubs
should and will have, IL l ecure the
nomination and election, the hearty
cooperation of this office for I be-
lieVe there is no. organization. the OBJ
Ject Of which Is more deserving the
support of the entire state.
l believe that more and better re-
suits can be obtained by assisting and
working with the Red River Valley,
the Lake Region, the Mouse River
Loop and the Missouri Slope Develop
ment associations and by assisting in
organizing the rest of the state into
districts, and then working together
for the settlement of the u~noccupied,
but highly productive land.
There Is one real live bunch Of
boosters that are not given credit for
what they are doing or the encourage
ment that they deserve; they are the
United Commercial Travellers. They
have done as much or more in develop
ing new territory, in creating con-
idence in the state and in advertising
our wonderful than any
other distinct organization; n it will
be my endeavor to have a close and
friendly relation with them.
Through the encouragement of the
farmers clubs could be brought about
more rapid development Of the state;
consolidated schools; ru6al centers:
better grades and a more uniform
breeding of livestock; personal COM
munication and exchange of ideas,
which is an education in itself; CO.
operation in the marketing Of pro-
ducts, which will give larger returns;
and create a social life that will keep
our young people on the farm.
The labor department is one which
also would have my careful considera-
ton for in order to have q great state
we must have laboring men and to be
Of the right kind they should own their
own home, educate their children,
have time for recreation, and be pros
porous. 1t is said North Dakota is a
state without a millionaire or a pauper.
This state, I believe. is destined to
become a great manufacturing as we'll
as an agricultural state and our laws
should provide for the future so that
when we come into our own we will
not have the labor troubles and bit
ter experiences that some of the older
states have had. We can and should
have laws to which we can point with
p~ride-that aid those that need as
sistance and control those that need
to be controlled. We need people of
the best class to convert the raw ne
terial into the finished product n to
consume the ever increasing supply of
food material raised In the state. Let
us make q bid for the sober, intelligent
and progressive laboring men and
make this q state in which he will be
even more proud to live. .5& DE-
In asking the voters for their sup
port at the June primaries ! do so
with a full realization of the import
ance of the Office to each individual
in the state and the great amount of
work which will be required of the
n securing the office to develop it
to it's full capacity in promoting the
various interests with which it should
be so closely connected. I will devote
my entire time to the state as a whole
and give 1t the benefit of my years
Of experience in farming and my
knowledge and acquaintance gained in
the years devoted to the immigration
business.
