We bow to the will of the majority of the Republicans of North
Dakota, and will state that we will support the whole ticket from
to bottom as nominated. During the whole campaign we have
not said one word against Mr.. Frazier which would put us in an
embarrassing position to give him our hearty support, now that he
is nominated. We have treid 60 express in our humble way our
contempt for the fellows who have sought to have control of the
thinking people in this organization to allow Townley and his CO.
terie of "blood suckers" to dominate either the League or its candi-
dates. Mr.. Frazier has always been known as a good Republican,
and practically every man nominated on the Republican ticket is a
man OF high reputation and character, and there is no good reason
why every republican in the state cannot support the whole ticket.
me eDmocrats have evidently been trying to prosper by
keeping up a gght among the members of the League and those
who do not belong, and they have lived in hopes that if the Nom
PARTISAN candidates were nominated that members of the Repub-
mean party, who did not belong to the League would turn and sup
port the Democratic candidates. But in this we feel sure that the
Democrats will be fooled. There is no good reason at this time
why all Republicans, both members of the non-members of the
League should not put their shoulder to the wheel. and see that a
tce Of the Peace. We believe that this is the general feeling of all
good Republicans who opposed the nomination of MI. Frazier. and
we we trust r th mat the members ad% 81, Of the League who are Republicans
gain nothing by aiding the Democrats to build up a machine, as has
been done before.
