the meeting place was filled to capac-

to requests from many farmers in
the district who prevailed upon E. D.
Skinner of Sawyer and others to issue

ed to order Mr.. Skinner was selected
as temporary chairman and explained
the purpose of the meeting. Informal
talks were made by several farmers
including o. N. eleven, Joe Strong,
VIM. Meyers, O. M. Heath, Gus Lar
son and others, after which it was
decided to form a permanent organic
alton. On motion duly moved and

and for which our forefathers bled
and died that we might be free; that
as worthy sons of noble sires we now
in turn owe to civilization our loyal
and sincere support of our govern
ment in it's attempt to extend these
some principles throughout the world.
To attain these ideals we firmly be-
lieve that democracy must triumph
over autocracy in the present world
conflict, and that it is our first and
highest duty, at his time, to so act
that our words and deeds may best
assist our government in this noble
work.
2. We unhesitatingly condemn the
act of a few self-constituted leaders
who are spreading a propaganda Of
class hatred, and their attempts to ar
raign class against class. We are
firmly convinced that such agitation
is demoralizing in its effect and leads
to ruin That back of it all is selfish
interest and greed for power and
gold.
7 3. We severely condemn the action
Of the present administration of our
State in permitting men of the Ran
dali and Horst type who have been
convicted of or charged with disloy
atty to our Government, to appear on
the public rostrum.
4. We believe in progressive, but
safe and sane legislation, that will re-
suit in the greatest good to the great
est number. This being largely an
agricultural state, we especially favor
such legislation as will encourage CO.
operative enterprises which will re-
turn to the tiller of the soil the larg-
est remuneration for his labor. Among
such enterprises We would recon-
mend terminal elevators, packing
plants, flour mills, canning factories
and loan agencies where the farmers
may obtain long term loans at low
rate of interest.
5. We favor revision of our state
constitution by regularly called
constitutional convention, in compli-
ance with law. A revision such as pro-
posed by House Bill a., we deem to
be unconstitutional, dangerous and
vicious in the extreme, and requires
the man who supports it to violate his
oath Of office.
6. We favor the election Of men
as our representatives in the legisla
ture, and for all other offices, who
are intelligent enough and courageous
enough to stand for what is just and
right and who will refuse to be tied
or pledged by any clique or gang. We
believe that the best and safest legis-
lation is the result of careful inves-
tlgation and calm deliberate judgment
after viewing the subject from all an
giles.
7. We favor the immediate enact
ment Of laws giving women full and
complete suffrage.
8. We condemn the veto of the Ter
,minal Elevator bill by the Governor,
and the killing Of the Rural Credit
amendment by the Towney Machine
in the House. We further condemn
the members of this district for not
getting reduction of the interest
rate.
9. To carry out the foregoing prin.
cipes we cordially invite the assist.
ance Of all thoughtful and patriotic
citizens.

ing to the welfare Of the State and
Nation and particular emphasis was
placed upon the necessity Of standing
squarely behind the National Govern
ment in the present grave crisis. The
opinion was general that the best way
to show patriotism at this time was
to emphasize to the rest of the states
in the Union that North Dakota was
absolutely loyal and could be depend
ed upon to do its share without quih.
bling or fault finding. "If we are not
satisfied with every move the gov
eminent makes" said one farmer,

are some things that need adjustment

said another farmer, than to see Am
erica divided at this time over some

eran of the Civil War, Capt. Baker,
formerly Commander of the State G.
A. R., pointed out how easy it was to
criticise the government but that the

lations to contend with and every
thing was not as easy as some loud
mouthed fellows try to make US be-

War;" said Capt Baker. "There was

We found out after the war that Alb

we had, but he had been on the Job

On legislative ticket for the goth
District o. M. Heath of Douglas plac-
ed in nomination the name of o. N.
eleven as member of the Legislature
for the south half of the district and
the nomination was made unanimous.
Mr.. eleven is a successful farmer liv-
ing in Spring Lake township.
Gus Larson of Burlington placed in
nomination the name of Bonnie Olson
of Harrison township. VIM. Meyers,
North Prairie farmer, placed in
nomination the name of George A.
Reishus, and D. w. Bowker placed in
nomination the name of Guy F..

unanimously endorsed by the meet
ing. On motion the Chairman was in
