existing utterly unjustified, the North
Dakota Republican state central COM

I'VE re-affirm our allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party as
enunciated and exemplified by the
leadership Of Abraham Lincoln and |
deplore the present tendency on the
part of some Of our national leader:
to depart from the Republican ideals
in the interest OF and to the advan-
tage Of the international money trust. |
and believing that the Republican
party Is the logical vehicle OF recon-
struction we pledge ourselves to fur
Their the work of reclamation, and the |
Republican party Of North Dakota is
indeed fortunate to present to the
electors Of the state, candidates who
are so unuualifiedly responsive to the
early ideals of the Republican party. !
1--WE heartily commend the splen-
did efforts of North Dakota's repre-
sentative in the national congress Tor
their consistent attempts to accom-
plish farm relief legislation. the puri-
fication of elections and the bringing
to account of at least some Of the ma
tons greatest grafters.

is necessary. with view to maintain
ing unimpaired the fiscal integrity OF

tions of the reconstruction finance
corporation, established by the recent
congress, in combining its favorS to
the banks, insurance companies, rail-
roads and other large business enter

people. We do not believe in prosper

fer system where it develops from
the bottom up.

end that the deep waterway from the
Great Lakes to the sea, by way OF the

cooperative enterprise on the part O
the farmers.
1--WE commend the Republican ad
