ITSELF:
We fee thatB Bismarck s, served satisfactorily az the state
capital for nearly SO years nd THAR no good reason has been advanced for
changin it now. We see no reason fore ngaging in campaign on the matter
at his line, although we cogni full we'll hat schemess such as those
nov being advanced sometimes grow itoa menac to the peace and prosperity
OF the state. %
As siden OF Bismarck want to do our full share toxard main
tanning good wll and comradeship among the people of North Dakota.
A special election to vote n proposal t. move the state capital
would cost SIPS, 600. This would be adirect charge against the axpayer.
We maken 10 attack on any city n community which may e fostering
reason for such yemen as readily as we. .# # # #s##& r
