Da kota, we wish to 60 on record as
being unalterably opposed to the i'm
portation Of non-residents into this
state and placing them in public po-
sitions, and more especially in cases
where the work for whic: they were
imported has expired and there is no
reason for their retention on the pa
roll, and their only purpose being to
consume the taxpayers money; in
other words, we are for North 'Dako.
ia and for North Dakotans.
We deplore and disapprove appoint.

North Dakota contrary to and in the
very teeth of the constitution and
laws of the state by those who have
taken their solemn pledge and given
their oath to defend and uphold the
constitution and laws, ana further,
we do not believe that private ci;l
zens should be called upon to ex
pend their money in lawsuits to com
pei the officials which they have elec:
ed to office to comply with their oath
of Office, and to perform their duties
as laid down by the statutes and con-
stitution of the state of North Dakota
