After the nominations had been
completed for the state ticket, the
matter Of endorsing candidate for

and it was the sentiment of the con-
vention that no action be taken at
that time. owing to the peculiar con-
ditions existing in the state. The
choice or endorsement Of q candidate
for United States senator was left TO
the judgment of the republican state
executive committee, II such, action
was thought to be advisable at a las-
or date.

dorsed were considered by delegates.
from each of4the three congressional

trict, o. B. Burtness Of Grand Forks.

The platform states IN part:
'The extravangance Of the state
government under this socialist re-
gime is conceded by all. A. riot Of
'pronigacy exists in nearly all depart
ments. Unnecessary offices. bureaus
and commissions have been created
with excessive salaries to furnish
places for loud-mouthed and persist
ent foes Of Americanism., The door
has been opened to an invasion Of
our state by the shiftless and the
criminal.
Assail Governor Frazier.
The governor OF this fair state
insulted every mother, every ex-serv-
ice man and all loyal citizens by at
tempting to interfere in the due adj
mintstratton Of justice in the case of
at least one notorious criminal and
enemy to ell our institutions.
The real issue in the campaign in
this state lies between Americanism
and socialism" Then follows a
statement Of the various laws enact
ed BY the league to strangle q free
press, the unfair diversion Of the va
rious funds Of public money, the In
suits heaped upon Minnie Nielsen,
and other fagrant acts Of justice, at
ter setting forth the general bill Of
complaint there Is this Indictment:

unrepublican and that Its proponents
