CONFIDENT THAT
DOYLE WILL BE
NEXT COVER nor
Declares He Will Give His
Whole Time to Success
of the Campaign

To the men who voted for me for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor of North Dakota. I would
make this appeal: Go to the polls on
November s and cast your vote for
S. ]. Doyle for governor"
So declared George Wilkinson OF
Fargo today. He has made a tour
Of much of North Dakota, and re-
turned to Fargo this morning conf
dent that Mr.. Doyle will be North
Dakota's next governor.
Mr.. Wilkinson, very shortly after
the primary election of last June, in
an editorial in the North Dakota
Democrat, his newspaper published
in Fargo. declared himself for the
election Of Mr.. Doyle. and pleaded
for the united support of his party
men for the nominee for governor.
Calls on His Supporters.
Il sincerely hope that every man
who cast his ballot for me in the
June primary election will vote, on
November S. for Mr.. Doyle said
Mr.. Wilkinson today. 1T, is essen
tial to the welfare Of the state that
we should place him in the govern
or's chair, and that we repudiate the
ocialists and the socialistic, princi-
pies for which the opposing candi-
date for governor is committed.
when the result of the primary
election was known, said. in the
columns of the Democrat:
The issues are clean-cut In the
coming campaign. This is no time
for half way measures. Only a can
didate whose record is 100 per cent
American, and whose support of
President Wilson and Americas war
aims has been without stint, can
conscientiously be accorded the sup
port OF the rank and file Of the vot-
ers of the state, Stephen J. Doyle
measures UP to these standards.
There is one more issue in the
campaign that should not but con-
cern the Democrats of the state. 1t
the continuation of the DEM
ocratic party as an organization in
North Dakota.
The Nonpartisan league has Of
fered a haven to voters of all par
ties in it's campaign in the state.
Without discussing the merits or de-.
merits of the league. there is this to
be said: No good Democrat can do
himself or his party any good by af-
filiating with an organization to the
detriment of the party which has
stood for the highest ideals in the
government of peoples and nations
since the time il was founded.
The Democrat believes there is
no better time than this coming
election for the Democrats of North
Dakota to vote solfdly Democratic,
representing an unbroken front to
all opposition, and to this end it
urges every Democrat to vote for
Stephen J. Doyle for governor, and
likewise for each Democratic candi-
date on the ticket.
Av9hoIe T'is1ie FOR "a
That is my position today. / not
2nIy am for Mr. Doyle through the
editorial columns OF my paper, but
personally and whole -heartedIy, II
Am favoring his election. and win
devote all OF my time and energy
between now and election day with
hat end in view.
"Cass county viii go two to one
Tor Mr.. Doyle, and there no longer
IS any question in my mind as to the
outcome. Mr., Doyle will be the next
governor of North Dakota All that
IS required is vigilance on the part
IF our supporters during the balance
IF the campaign"
