Mrs. Prestons message to the wo.
men OF the country reads in full:
"ProcIaim Liberty"
"'Proclaim Liberty throughout ALL
THE LAND unto all the Inhabitants
thereof
'"These words were written about
1870 years before Christ, as part of
the Law of Holiness in the Book of
Leviticus. Our fathers inscribed them
upon the Liberty Bell which called our
mighty nation into life.
To-day all the Inhabitants enjoy
liberty, the Jew and the Gentle, the
rich and the poor, the native and the
alien-born, the weak and the strong.
The old Liberty Bell is silent, for its
voice has been heard throughout all
the land
"But Liberty is not safe. It is men,
aced along the battle fronts Of many
nations, our own among them, and
America requires new motto for her
old Bell: proclaim liberty through.
out ALL LANDS unto all the inhab-
itants thereof Until liberty is safe
in all lands, it can not be safe in our
own. Hence the task to which Amer
lea has reverently and unselfishly ded.
icated herself.
"Make Motto Real"
"The Fathers of this Republic. men
OF many races, with common love Of
liberty, wrought into law our ancient
motto, thus giving liberty a chance to
enlighten the world
To-day we, their descendants, are
called upon to make real the new
motto, and thus to give liberty the
undisputed right to bless the world.
"This ean be done but only after
heroic struggle and self-sacrifice. A
premature peace would mean failure.
1t would be only less disastrous than
complete defeat. Against all tempta-
tions to compromise the women Of
America should stand firm and united.
"Peace and Safety"
"victory means peace and safety
for our children; defeat means hui
initiation and practical servitude for
them; while negotiated peace, with
the military machine of Prussia un-
broken, means that everything in their
lives must be subordinated to the task
of preparing for another war with
Germany. We can win now If Amer
lea can be held steadfast and un-
swerving, and the women of America
can hold her steadfast."

BE it resolved by the Democratic
County Committee of Dickey county,
North Dakota. in session this 18th
day of July, 1918, in the county court
house at Glendale:
"That the immediate purpose of the
Democratic party, the purpose which
takes precedence of every other, is to
win the war. The fate of true DEM
mony with it, not merely because we
are at war and must stand behind the
only common instrumentality through
which we can win it, but because the
administration, by its splendid achieve
ments of the past four years, has
shown that it is constructive both in
war and in peace, and during which
time the first Wilson administration
wrought the greatest civil reforms of
century. successfully meeting the
most difficult problems.
I'VE heartily endorse and recon-
mend to the voters of Dickey county
the candidacy of Hon. S. J. Doyle for
governor, and also the other nomin-
ees on the democratic state ticket. AS
citizen, as a legislator, and as a
Federal official, Mr.. Doyle has dem
onstrated his personal worth, his 10y
atty to his government, and his sound
understanding of the vital needs of
this growing young state. His elec.
tion will insure to the people a fair
and vigorous business administration.

Ocracy everywhere, depends upon it's

world once and for all of the threat
of violence and injustice which must
hang over it as long as there is an
autocratic government which can dis

which Germany has committed di-
rectly against our own people and
against right and liberty everywhere
must result in her being brought to

against our freedom and our national
integrity; we shall not abandon it
until our objective is definitely at
