charge or are still in the service can
receive the full benefits without re-
striction as to it's use. And we call
upon these men now to assist in per-
petuating our representative govern
ment by their ballots as they have
in the past by force Of arms.
School Matters
We believe that the control of ed
ucational matters should be returned
to the state superintendent of Public
instruction and that the management
Of the penal and charitable instituv
tions should not be joined with the
management Of the schools and to
that end we believe that the law
creating the board of administration
should be repealed.
Absent Voters Law
We acknowledge our debt to the
women of Month Dakota for their sup
port and their earnest endeavo1r to ir-
culate high ideals in our schools and
churches and we believe that the right
tof suffrage should be given to women
the same as men, but should be safe
guarded in every name possible, and
that the present absent voters law
applying to women should be repealed
as being a violation of the right of
secret ballot.
Mill and Elevator
The people Of North Dakota having
voted in favor Of the principle Of a
state-owned mill and, elevator, we arc
in favor of having such an institution,
built and operated within the state.
But realizing that such an industry
as q state owned institution is still
in the experimental stage, We are in
favor Of limiting the amount to be
expended for such purpose to two
million dollars. Further, we believe
that the money SO appropriated should
be safeguarded to the extent that it
would be used only for the purpose of
erecting and operating such mill and
elevator. Further, We are in favor of
having such institution built and op-
Grated under a law that is self-gov-
erning and workable and not contin-
gert on any other law for it's funct-
ional power. Further, We are oppos-
ed to jeopandizing the states credit
or resources for experimenting in any
other state owned industries.
No Politics
We believe that the management
and control of all state industries
should be removed from political in
1uences ard should be managed by
permanent overlapping boards of di-
r%ectors, with a separate board for
each industry; such boards being re-
sponsible directly to the legislature
and subject to sall the regulations af-
fecting private idustries.
Rigid Economy
We recommend, the most rigid eco
nomy consistent with the proper ard
efficient administration of the exec.-,
tive legislative and judicia! branches
OF the state government ito the end
that the state taxes shall not become
a burden upon the people and furth-
er eEunciated the principle that the
people should benefit to the extent of
all revenues paid and We recommend
to the people thrift and economy in
their private affairs as we'll.
We most earnestly invite all peo-
pie regardless Of political utilization
who now feel that their political and
property rights are being placed in
jeopardy to joir our organization and
aid US in u efforts to rid the state
of so%cialistic domination.

ISOLATION, in convention .assembl-
ed at the city Of Grand Forks, N. d.
do hereby adopt the following plat
form enunciating the principles Of
representative government and advo-
eating the abolition Of the present I'M
American, despotic and socialistic
system Of state government and re-
affirming our fealty to safe, sound
and sane constitutional government
in the interests Of all the people.
Representative Government
We re-affirm our belief in the prin-
ciples Of representative government
that have obtained in the 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 lead
ers and a~gitators who have fastened
themselves on the body polite Of this
state and who through ~coercive, au-
tocratic and un-American methods
have divided the people Of this state
into two classes and installed q Rus
sian 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 consti-
t%utional 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.
We are opposed to the extension Of
the executive power in the staet be-
lieving to be against the principles
Of representative government and
productive Of perpetuation OF. politi-
cal power. We r also opposed to
the right Of the governor to remove
any officer without. just cause.
School Funds
We are sensible to the fact that the
school fund of the state is under
compact with the Federal government

educational purposes only and should
not be! used for political or social
istic enterprises.
