on the men who were defeated; the
people had such a large supply Of en-
cellent material to choose from that

Republican voters of North Dakota
have every confidence that the can't
dates nominated are worthy of the

Republican ticket. beginning with Ser
tor McCumber and including e7er
Republican nominee, will be electe':
