"Any man who undertakes 20 fiji

dlcial temperament. enormous intel
ectual background. courageous

triotism. has indeed a large order.

fcrrrd upon me by the people Of
North Dakota through their Chief
Executive, Governor A. c. Sorlic, to
represent them. in part in the SEN
ate.
81 desire very much to truthfully
represent North Dakota. have
realized for years that we out there
were misunderstood. Our real aims
and desires have been terribly mis-
represented. Somehow ! hope to be
permitted to aid in winning under
standing Of North Dakota and Of the
Northwest in general. am sure
those opportunities will be many.
No Less American
"The people Of North Dakota have
NrenuopsIy fought to change an
economic and political order Of
things that was working great in
jury to themselves and to their
State. They have accomplished much
in their fight which you here in
the East seem to be pleased to term
Il "political revolution But their
fight has made them no less Ameri-
can. The people of North Dakota
love their country, willingly support
its Constitutions. obey i,A avs, re-
spert its Flag and stand ready at
all times to defend it against its enc
mics whether those enemies be
foreign nations or enemies right here
at home. The United States need
never fear the Amcricanism of North
Dakota or Of the Northwest because
it is of the kind that built America.
"The great farming interests Of
the Northwest, OF which my state
is Il part. are kecnly interested in
many Of the big problems which the
approaching congress must meet.
They are interested in any PROPOSE
tiOn TO reduce federal expenditures $
just so such "A policy is not carried
to the point of being penny wise
and pound foolish" and where, in the
tightening of our tax burden, there
is a just and equitable distribution
of the benefits to flow thercfrom.
1.-THE northwest is also inte re sted
in many Of the international ques-
tions that will doubtless come before
the next senate in the form Of trca-
ties. Many of those problems, if
properly settled, would. mean much
to the peace, prosperity and happi-
ness Of the world and would trcmen-
douSly improve our own situation,
particularly with regard to agricul-
ture. as Il result.
Farmers Will Appreciate Aid
1--WE are glad out there to see that
the president has recognized the CON
dition Of the farmers Of the North
west and that he will have something
to offer in the way of relief. His
thoughts on cooperative endeavor in
terest Us because the cooperative
problem has been tremendous one
in our state for years. North Da-
kota has really been the pioneer in
cooperative enterprises and any aid
which may be given them will be
very greatly appreciated The farm
er is most discouraged when he is
made to feel that he must go it alone
with most Of the doors of our great
credit and business facilities closed
to him. They keenly await any pro-
position to improve their marketing
facilities and enable them to get
some fair measure of return for their
labor and for their products.
"Thc solution of our problems in
the northwest does not necessarily
require the introduction of what
might be called innovations" but
simply the common sense applicable or
of old principles to new conditions
All that the northwest is asking OF
the government is an opportunity to
put agriculture on an even keel and
to give it the place it deserves in the
economic balance of this age. They
