Resolutions
''Thc real Republican convention
of Burleigh county assembled at Bis
marck February 18, 1926, believes and
proclaims as follows:
"First, we believe that Calvin Cool
idgc has made and is making an cx-
ccllcnt record as president Of the
United States, and is a real and true
friend Of the farmer.
Second, we believe that the cam
didates for the United States senate
and congress should declare them
selves openly in favor of the policies
Of President Coolidge.
"Third, we believe that the present
high taxes are very largely due to
the experiments proposed and inaug-
urated by the Nonpartisan League,
and we believe that the time has now
come when the question of spending
further tax money upon these propo-
sitions should be submitted to vote
Of the people. And We ask the men,
bcrs Of the next legislature to intro
duce a bill providing for such an
i election and in case the same is de-
fcated that an initiative law be pro-
posed and submitted to the voters.
Favor World Peace
1--WE favor world peace, and as a
| means thereto approve United States
! representation in the world court, as
/ advocated by President Coolidge and
determined by the senate.
| 1--WE believe that much greater
economy can be practiced by the state
| officials and demand that all state
officials make every effort to reduce
the expenditures in their offices in
