Resolution. ~
I'VE, members Of the Lincoln Re-
publicar league OF Trail county. this
day. assembied in a mass. meeting at
Hillsboro, North Dakota, fortthe pur-
pose OF doing. what we, can to pre-
serve the honor Of our state; to. pro-
mote sound and safe business prih-
ciples and to express our loyal sup
port of u government in this hour
Of trial. do. hereby adopt the follow.
ing principles for. our future action:
H.. We believe ih'thosee fundament.
al principles OF a free people so we'll
expressed in the Declaration Of. indie
pendence and our;:federal constitu-
ti6n, and for which, our .forefathers
bled and died. that We might be free;
that az worthy sons of noble sires we
now Ii turn owe to civilization our
loyal and sincere support Of our gov
these same principles throughout the
world. ITO attain these ideals, > we
firmly believe that democracy must
triumph over %autocracy in the pres
ept world conflict. and that 1t Is our
first and highest duty at this time. TO
80 act.that"onr words%a n deeds may
best assist U government IN his
2. We .unhesita tingly condemn tho
act Of a few self-cpnstituted leaders
who are spreading a propaganda u
class hatred. and their attempt to ar
raiEn class against class. We are
firmly convinced that such agitation
is demoralixing in its effect and leads
to ruin. That back of 1t all is selfish
interest and greed for power IN gold.
3. We. believe in progressive. but
safe and a n legislation, that will re-
suit in the greatest good to the great
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
recommend terminal elevators, pack
ing plants. lour mills. canning fac
tories and loan agencies whore the
farmers may obtain long term loans
at a low rate. of interest.
4. We favor aareyiaion. of OIL, state
constitution by a regularly called con-
s%titutionalt convention, in compliance
with law: Asrevision such "a rpropos-
ed by House Bill, ~, We deem to be
Unconstitutional, dangerous and VI
:ci0us in the eotreme. and frequffes tho
man who, supports It Ito violate his

s., We favor the election Of men
ture.5 and for. ALI other offices, who are
intelligent enough and courageous
enough u, stand for what. IL
just and right. and who will re-
fuse TO be tied or pledged byfany
