"We, representatives OF the Repub-
lican party of Kandiyohi county, in
convention assembled in the city of
Willmar, on the 18th day Of March,
1922, do hereby renew our faith and al
legiance to the policies and principles
Of the Republican party.
"We recognize this party as the
most desirable and efficient medium
within which to work for true pro-
gress and better economic conditions
for the mass OF our country's people.
eve heartily commend President
Harding for the calling of the Worlds
Disarmament Conference iii the inter-
est Of world peace. We cannot too
strongly praise and commend the able
and statesmanlike manner in which
our Secretary of State and other rep
resentatives of the United States ac-
quilted themselves5sin obtaining such
far-reaching results IN support of the
principle Of permanent peace among
nations
4 I'VE commend the calling of the
Farmers Conference In Washington
by President Harding and Secretary
Wallace. It has no doubt had the eff
feet Of co-ordinating the various pha-
ses and interests Of agriculture more
constructiVely than anything hereto
fore attempted. We recognize agri-
culture as the basic industry upon
which practically all.of our Industrial
structure rests. Agriculture should
be in a position to directly exert
stabilizing effect upon the markets.
To that end there has been commend
able progress in favorable Legislation
lin Minnesota under the leadership Of
Governor J. A. @. Prsus. For their
| faithful services and valient endeav-
ors in support Of beneficial agricult-
ural legislation enacted In our recent
congress, our Junior Senator, Frank
I,B. Kellogg, and our Congressman, A..
J. Volstead, are entitled to special
commentator. We recognize as an
economic necessity q credit system
as thOroly adapted to the peculiar
needs Of agriculture as credit arran-
gements may be adapted to the needs
of any productive industry.
Whereas, the purpose OF the pri-
mary election is to nominate candi-
dates for public Offices and have the
names Of the successful candidates
placed upon the general election bal.
lot, and
WHEREAS, Candidates are chosen
because OF their party political prin.
ciples in conjunction With htness for
