LAWYERS URGED TO
SUPPORT BISMARCK
IN CAPITAL BATTLE
BurIeigh County Bar Associa-
ton Gets Behind City in
Capital Fight

Decision to support Bismarck in its
fight to keep the seat of state gov
eminent here has been made by men,
bers of the Burleigh County Bar as
ISOLATION, who Thursday forwarded
letters to attorneys throughout the
state asking support for retention.
Letters were signed by 81 members
of the local association.
Alfred Zuger, George M. Register,
and A. H. Helgeson compose the COM
mittee who drafted the letter.
B. F. Tillotson. president of the or
ganization. estimated that approx
mately 1000 communications were
sent out.
The text of the letter follows:
Ask For Support
THE bar association of Burleigh
county is addressing you in behalf OF
Bismarck. At the March Is election
the question of whether or not the
capital OF this state should be re-
moved from Bismarck to jamestown
comes before the people. This ques-
ton is of vital interest to the bar OF
the entire state. OF course. 1t IS OF
particular concern to the citizens OF
Bismarck and the bar Of Burleigh
county.
1.-The state of North Dakota now
has investments here of nearly mil
lion and half dollars. The build
ing now housing the supreme court
and other departments Of the state
government cost over half million
dollars.
Bismarck has been the capital OF
this state since its admission into the
Union. This city has not only be-
come known as the capital in this
country but throughout the world.
There are many historical as well as
material reasons why the capital
should remain here. We believe this
city is located more conveniently to
the members of the bar of this state
than any other city in North Dakota.
Have Vital Interest
Eve. as he members OF the bar as
ISOLATION of Burleigh county, have, OF
course, a very vital interest at stake.
Most of us have lived here for years.
Our homes and investments are here
The city largely has been built up be-
cause it has been the seat of govern
ment. Many other reasons could be
advanced why there should be no
change, but it is not necessary to say
anything further about that to the
lawyers of the state.
"The form in which the question
is submitted may be somewhat con-
fusing to the voters and We ask you
to explain to such voters as you may
reach how the ballot should be voted
against removing the capital from
Bismarck.
I'VE, as your fellows in the same
profession. ask you to help us in this
emergency and hope you will use
every effort in your power IN benall
of Bismarck and the bar association
of Burleigh county"
