PIONEER OF TERRITORY

George A. Welch, one of the oldes,
and best known Of Bismarck business
men and a man long prominent in the
political and civic life Of the capital

extending over more than year.
Eighteen months ago the deceased
was seized with an affection of the
throat which rapidly involved all OF

MINI. and submitted to complicated
operation which appeared to greatly
improve his condition. After spending
number of weeks at the hospital he
returned home land for a time seemed
his old self again.
| Recently he was suddenly stricken
with partial paralysis resulting from
blood clot on the brain. and altho
he rallied several times, it had been
apparent to his family for some time
J past that the end was near.
Typical Career.
| The career of George Albert Welch
was typical Of the successful North
Dakotan. He was successfully farm
er a stock man, merchant, sheriff,
and state senator. and there are few
men in North Dakota who enjoyed a
wider acquaintanceship, who had
more real friends or who had achieved
reputation so enviable. He was a
man whose life was so lived that at
! it's close he could look back over it
! without a regret.
| At the time of his death he owned
/ a half interest in the pioneer hard
ware firm of French & Welch, a splen-

western part of Burleigh county and
various other realty holdings

of George w. Welch, Minnesota pr

ity that presented itself and became
cowboy on a frontier 1>akOta ranch.
Later he turned to farming. for some
time he freighted by wagon over un.
settled reaches of country and then
he entered railway construction work.
Each winter he resumed his studies,
defraying his expenses out Of the saw

for the important place which he was
to fill in the development Of his state.
Early in his career he was elected a
county commissioner Of Burleigh coun-

1T is our duty as democrats to Op-
pose the socialists nationally because
they are traitors to the high prin-
ciples for which we as nation are
fighting and which have been so well
enunciated by our leader, Woodrow
Wilson; it is our duty to oppose them
in North Dakota because they stand
for the confiscati0n of all private prop
erty; because they plan to tax out OF
existence all rights vested in the indi-
vidual"
In these words George A. Bangs Of
Grand Forks who delivered the key
note address to the North Dakota
democratic central committee Wednes-
day afternoon summed up the reasons
which his party has for active and
unrelenting opposition to the NOnpart-
isan league whose leaders Mr.. Bangs
described as having swallowed whole
the tenets embraced by the American
socialists in the. platform adopted in
April, 1918, at St. oLuis and reaffirm-
ed in the recent. national convention
at Chicago. and which the speaker de-
clared the "most damnable and the
most damnable declaration of princi-
pies ever made by an organization OF
men,"
The Duty Of Democracy.
1.-THE duty of democracy in North
dakota lies in opposition to the insid-
ius campaign of socialism which has
been carried on in this state for the
last two years or more" said Attorney
Bangs in opening his address to the
convention. "The leaders of the Non
partisan league when they first
broached the organization of the farm
ers of North Dakota for the righting
OF certain wrongs met with at least
qualified approval from a majority OF
the thinking people of the state. But

this propaganda was disclosed and
