E }s. School Funds. ;,
We, are sensible to the fact that the
school fund Of the state is under our
compact with the Federal government
a sacred trust fund to be used for edu-
cational purposes only and should not
be used for political or socialistics en-
terprises. $j8
Bank of North Dakota.
We believe that the state Bank of
North Dakota as organized and man
aged is a menace to the financial well
fare of the -state./ Past experience
has proven that banks organized upon
such principles have uniformly be-
come failures. .st
It is therefore recommended that
the present banking law be so modi-
fled as to become real rural credits
bank, so as to furnish loans at 9 mini
mum interest rate to the farmers of
the state and thatthe same be placed
under strict regulation and examina-
ton by at least two elective depart
ments of the state and that school dis
tricts, townships, villages, cities and
counties shall be restored to the right
of administering their own funds.
Radical Laws.
We believe that the. laws creating a
one man tax commission. the official
newspaper law, the law creating a
state sheriff, the special Investigating
committee law and all laws affecting
adversely the rights of citizens with
reference to their persons or property
should be- repealed. tI Il

Mr.. Kelly's statement follows:
February 6. 1920.
ITO the Citizens of Grand Forks:
'For several weeks I have been re-
some of whom have been very promi-

city, to enter the race as a candidate
for mayor at the coming spring cleo

the duties, falling to the lot Of the
mayor, requires not only much time,
but great ability and fear more
strength than 1 have" at my command.
II have therefore said to my friends
that did not desire the honor Of be-
ing elected mayor and thatI could not
enter into campaign for the po-
sition. 3.
II deem it an honor that any con-
siderable number OF our citizens
should in convention assembled think
of me in connection with this office.
1t is indeed an honor: which I shall
not forget. But my private business
requires all my time and attention. 1
could not without neglecting other
and important duties perform the. du-
ties of this Office. Under these cir
cumstances, know that my friends
will excuse mo when say that am
not, a candidate and for refusing to
become a candidate for the position.
Respectfully,

I.V. n. CONVENTION OUTLINES PROGRAM
THE /. ". "A. PLATFORM

We. the Independent Voters asso-
ctattOn. in convention assembled at
the city Of Grand Forks, N. D., do
hereby adopt the following platform
the principles of repre-
sentative government and advocating
the abolition OF the present un- Amer
tcan. despotic and socialistic system OF
state government, and reaffirming our
fealty to safe. sound and sane con-
stitutional government in the interests
OF all the people. 4
Representative Government.
We re-afirm our. belief in the prin-
ciples of Representatives government
that have obtained in Athe United
States since the birth Of our nation.
AS American citizens imbued with the
spirit. of democracy we condemn the
actions OF a few SELF appointed leaders
and agitators who have fastened
themselves on the body polite of this
state and who through coercive. auto
cratic and un-American methods have
divided the peiple of this stale into
two classes and installed Russian
soviet form of government.
Governor Condemned.
We condemn the acts of the gov
ernor in refusing to allow. the people
of the state to exercise their constitu-
tonal rights to initiate measures as
provided for by the constitution, and
also the action of the Nonpartisan
League LEGISLATORS in attempting to
override the constitution by enacting
a law providing for the placing In
operation >all laws passed within ten
days after adjournment without hav-
Ing received the necessary two-thirds
vote upon the emergency clause. -5
We are opposed to the extension of
the executive power in the state be-

We are unalterably opposed to the
principles Of 1. w. Wism. red So
'cialism and the red flag, and believe
in supporting and upholding the
American flag as the symbol standing
for the .perpetuation of our American
institutions equal opportunity to all
classes. and the full protection of life,
all our people granted by the con-
stitution. N ,5.fs =
Honlebnflders' Law.
The homebuilders law as carried
out at present is unnecessary and un-
called for in this state. During forty
ty years of pioneer life the farmers
and people generally of this state
have built their own homes. There
are no large Industrial centers in this
agricultural region that cannot and
do not take care Of themselves. 1t is
unfair to burden the people of this
state with complex and expensive
for sseizing land and levy
ing taxes to take care Of people who
may not even be residents of our
commonwealth. Such principle
carried out would result in a helpless
and undesirable class flocking in. Ac-
cordingly we condemn this law and
recommend the enactment of a meas
ure that will wind up its affairs and
relieve the state from the tyranny
threatened by the present homebuild-
ers law in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
political selfseekers.

We deplore the prostitution of the
morals and intellect of the youth Of

unless the governor who is re-

Outcome Of Argument Over
Extradition Will Decide
Value of Treaty.

y Paris, Feb. e.
Mayer, German charge d'affaires in
this city, has arrived in Berlin and
will participate in government de-
liberations regarding the extradition
of Germans accused Of war crimes,
according to q dispatch received here.
Settlement Of the present conflict
between the allied powers and Ger
many relative to the surrender Of
Germans accused Of war crimes may
determine the value Of the Versailles
treaty, according to views expressed
by the French press. Several journals
declare the allies must profit by the
cution of guarantees provided In the
treaty. Ss
Disarmament Of Germany should
be required by the allies, says the
Eclair. and the provocation afforded
by the Lersner incident is sufficient
to justify this step.
Suggestion that in default Of sur
rendering the men on the extradition
list and the execution of other al
lesedly Impossible treaty clauses.
Germany should be compelled to cede
the left bank Of the Rhine to the en-
tente.'is made by the Journal, while
