the people Of the state, he. and the
same hereby is, called to certain con-
disicns hereinafter set forth.
Farm Relief
1--WE direct the attention of the pco-
pie Of North Dakota to an enterprise
in which they should be virtually
interested, and that is the bcttering
of their own economic condition. This
can only be Accomplished by each citi-
zen shouldering his share Of the re-
sponsibility. By meeting on o common
ground with his neigllhor and reach
ing a common understanding of the
conditions which are tine cause of his
economic tyranny: where each can
unhesitatingly point hts finger in the
Same general direction to the group or
groups vino assiduously work against
the agricultural interest, and to the
tools in office who by official ac-
ton, or inaction. carry forward the
%tyrannical work Of the masters. Il
then becomes the bounden duty of
all good citizens to lay aside all poll
tical and party prejudice and all work
together to remove the cause.
AS an example Of the great good
that comes from a coalition Of minds
and effort, we point with pride to the
work of Democratic Progressive r.
publican coalition in the present
United States senate and its benefit
cial results. The same coalition OF
agreement and effort among the pro-
gressive people of North Dakota will
remove every opposing impedinent to
economic rehabilitation, and c0nstgn
to the scrapheap every tool of the
masters now holding office by the
riffs Of Dur people.
