the McCumber and Independent forces

well ironed out, however, as far as
the state politics was concerned, When
both factions gave Governor r. A.

dorsement.
The Independents controlled the
convention. but compromise was
made, the Independents being allow
ed ten delegates to the state con-

The resolutions adopted follow:
The State Of North Dakota, un-
der a sane, fair and business-like
administration, is steadily emerg-
ing from the chaos and depres-
sion that have characterized it's
history during the last five years
prior to December, 1921.
The paramount consideration
for the citizens of North Dakota
at this time is an uninterrupted
and unhampered continuance Of
the present improvement.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, by
the duly accredited delegates of
the Republican party Of the 29th
legislative district in convention
dorse the administration of Gov.
R. A. Nestos, recognizing the
splendid work it has done and is
doing in the rehabilitation of the
state, politically and economically.
We urge that Gov. Nestos and
a. supporting ticket be endorsed
and Supported by the Republican
convention April 10, and that all
friends of good government and
progress unite in laboring for the
nomination of Gov Nestos and his
colleagues at the June primaries
and their election in November.
Instructions for Nestos
We hereby strictly instruct the
delegates chosen by this conven-
tion to represent the 29th district
at the jamestown convention to
vote consistently for the endorse
ment and denomination of Gov.
r. A. Nestos and a supporting
ticket.
We believe that the endorse
ment of candidate for the Unit
ed States Senate is a secondary
consideration in North Dakota at
present, and that no action should
be taken by this convention or
that to convene in jamestown
likely to prejudice in any way
the interests OF the state as rep
resented in the Nestos adminls-
tration and the desirability Of its
continuance in office.
Thereby, Be 1t Resolved, that
the delegates chosen by this con-
vention to represent the 29th dis
trict in the jamestown conven-
ton be unirstructed as. regards
endorsement of any candidate for
United States senator, and that
they act and vote at jamestown
with first consideration for the
success of the anti-socialist cam
pai~n in the STATE Of North Da-
li0ta.
