In explaining thei reason for the
slogan of the meeting, Selling
North Dakota . President L. w. Bo!
wen of Hope, said: &.
1--WE are all boosters of North Da.
kota and always have been, but. YOU
may know something to the advari:
tage of North Dakota that I don't
know, and l may" know something
about North Dakota that you don t
know, and We thot that this would
be a good time to get these things
in shape so that we could tell the
people of the state about them.''
He said that North Dakota had at
least one disadvantage, "And that
disadvantage is the Nonpartisan
League. He declared that the North
Dakota Press Association is not,
never has been, nor never will be a
political organization, especially SO
far as national politics is concerned
but when the good of all North Da-
kota is at stake it is necessary for
all friends of the state to seek the
elimination of the thing that endan-
gers the state. He told of the work
that had been accomplished by. the
association and declared that the
passage of the legal printing law
alone more than repaid the members
for the amount of the membership
fee. He said that one thing that
would come before the meeting
would be the question of whether it
fs best to hold one or two meetings
OF the association during the year.
