North Dakota Legislature Backs Up
President Wilson.

The following resolution, introduced
by Senator Thorwald Mostad, passed
the senate with one dissenting vote,
and passed the house unanimously, at
the recent special session:
Be 1t Resolved, by the Senate, the
House of Representatives concurring,
recognizing and commencing the
splendid service President Woodrow
Wilson rendered to his country and to
all mankind, through his wise and un-
tiring labors, as member of the
worlds greatest Peace Conference at
Versailles, we regret that his health
and physical strength became exhaust
ed and broken before the work Of this
great conference became ratified by
the Senate of the United States, in the
interest of Liberty, Peace and Welfare
to the World; we ask speedy ratifica-
tion of the Peace Treaty, with only
such reservations as are compatible
with binding and bona fide participa
ton by the United States Of America
in the Covenant of the League Of Ma
tions. The honor of our Arms, and
our devotion to the principles of Dem
ocracy demand that our word of honor
and good intentions be thus indicated
without further delay.
Be It Further Resolved, That the
Secretary of State send copy of these
Resolutions to President Woodrow
Wilson, and to each Senator and Mem-
Der of Congress from North Dakota
