favor of expansion of the state in
trstries, Governor Walter f. Mad
dock today issued his final state
merit Of the gubernatorial campaign.
"On the eve of the election I feel
certain that the result of the voting
tomorrow will be sweeping pro-
gressive victory" he said. "The
campaign has been fought on issues
and principles that for years have
marked the dividing lines between
progressive and conservative forces
in our state, and I do not believe that

"A progressive victory tomorrow
will mean that the state industrial

that the Bank of North Dakota will
continue to function as it does at the
present time; it will mean that the

changed that its effectiveness will
be nullified: it will mean that the
