er North Dakota Association, and
approve your policy in boosting the
best sinterests of our great state.
/. North Dakota, with her wealth of
natural resources and her indus
trious, progressive citizens, can well
be advertised to the ret of the ma

u. S. Senator Gerald p. Nye: My
support has always been given to

felt that in the main its purpose
was strictly in keeping with the best
interests of North Dakota and, if

! standing throughout the state and
Throughout the nation.
Congressman o. B. Burtness:
North Dakota has been so woefully
misrepresented that q campaign Of
education is sorely needed to bring
about proper recognition of what
we have. The Greater North Da-
kota Association has accomplished
a great deal in this respect and I
hope it's work can be continued
along the lines of the policies here
tofore adopted. It is well to have
an agency in which all Of our
people can join and, forgetting 9TH
err differences, have in mind only
the advancement of the best inter-
ests of our commonwealth.
Congressman Thomas Hall: I am
sure that the people generally ap-
preciate the great work yorr asso-
citation has done and they appre-

tanglements which would have
grown out Of an indulgence in the
factional, political differences and
/ am sure you can count upon the
cooperation Of our people in what
ever rank or profession you may

q wonderful work so far and feel
that it must be continued and that it
will mean much for the prosperity
of our people and the we'll being of

Congressman j. H. Sinclair: I
have watched the work of the Great
err North Dakota Association with
interest and believe that the or
ganization is on the right track, not
only in the actual accomplishments
already attained, but in the methods
pursued as to detectives and policies.
BY keeping free from political align
ments, or the domination of any
particular faction, the association is
IN a position to devote itself whole
heartedly to those projects which
make for the welfare Of our state
and its people. From my observa-

been pursued, and which, in my
judgment, should be followed in the
future. have been glad to cooper
