Resolutions adopted indorsed Roose-

ticket to be drawn at the state con-

rather than taxpayers associations
should lead the way in retrenchment

employed and urged the state capitol
building commission to give prefer
ence to North Dakota labor and ma
terlals as Tar as possible in the con-
structlon OF the new state house.
The resolutions follow:
The Democratic party Of Burleieh
county IN convention assembled here
by renews its confidence in the can
dldacy OF the Hon. Franklin D. Roose.
Welt for president OF the United
States. and urges upon the delegates
selected at the presidential primary
on March 18th, to use all honorable
means at Chicago in June to bring
about his nomination, believing as We
do that his nomination will ensure
another Democratic landslide and
certain election in November. We

OF the northwest for placing agricul-
ture on parity with industry will be
finally realized through the selection
OF man Of his type to the highest
executive position In the land. mani

luton and a direct challenge to the
leadership Of the Democratic party in
our state and county. We accept that
challenge. and we hereby pledge our
delegates to the state convention at
New Rockford to work for the NOM
nation Of state ticket that viii,
take up resolutely the task imposed
by this challenge. We hereby further
pledge to the legislative ticket en-
dorsed today our united support to
the end that<a sound program Of tax
reduction may be carried out Ia the
next session Of the state lesislatur.
that will stand out in contrast to the
inaction and ineptitude Of the present
state administration.
I'VE call attention to the spotaue-
Gus growth Of taxpayers associations
throughout the state the past year q
q protest against such indifference
on the part Of those whose duty Il
was to direct the ship OF state. We
believe the state should at III times
lead In the matter Of relieving tax.
