* [ Repubiican Platform 1, We, the Republican staté centril committee, representing the principl of Abraham ‘Lincoln and Thomas Je! ferson, view with pride and emotion the heroic and glorious achievemen of our soldiers on the European batt) fields, and we sure the father: mothe! ives, sons, daughters, brot ers, sisters and friends of those who are giving their lives, “that the workd may be safe for demgeracy”, that they shall not d in vain, and we pledge, in a lesser way, our lives and our all to maintain real democracy in this state and uation so that when our sol- diers return home they will find equal | political and industrial opportunity awaiting them. 2. ‘We commend the state admini: tration for its efficiency, econemy and its devotion of service to the people of this state, and we commend espec. vjally our overnor, Lynn J. Frazie’ and other state officials for their fear- lessness and impartiality in enfo: the laws without favor or prejudice toward any. We further commend our state ad- ministration for the enac nt and enforcement of the Grain Grading Act by which a million dollars will be saved to ‘he farmers of this state nually, and for its efforts to secuic) better market conditions, and to se- cure better grain crades for the farm- ers of this state; and for making ef- fective the State Bonding Act which had prior to the present administra- tion been permitted to le undistutbed and ineffective, by which alone over one hundred thousand dollars bien- nially, forme: paid io the bonding companies 1 be ed to the tax- payers, and we recommend the exten- sion of this Bonding Act so as to in- clude the bonding of all state officials under its provisions. ‘We commend the cue iment and op- eration of the Banke: uaranty Act to protect ihe deposits of our citizens made in banks against loss. We com- mend the moneys and credits act which is adding some $250,000.00 an- nually to the revenues of this state. We commend the efforts of our state officials in justly equalizing and as- sessing property in this state, whereby public utilities, ilroad corporations and other interests wi just burden of “taxation, will increase the revenue about one million dol We commend further our administration to le~se! of interest charged io pec for the loaning of pudlic® funds to municipalities and fariiers fo encour- age crop production and vetter educa- tion; and we commend the Federal Farm Loan Act for its beneficient)pro- visions in aiding and assisiing the far- mers of this state to secure financial assistance at lower rates of interest. 3. We heartily endorse the splen- did and unequaled war record of our state, admini and wh) iis state of © rates and istration and pledge our whole-hearted and continued support to our nation in this great war to save Democracy, in which it is now engaged. “ Again we especially commend our Governor and our other state and county officials for their loyai and whole-hearted response to the re- quests of our Federal Government in ivities ;for the manner in they organized the agencies in this state for the successiul operation of the sel ve service draft law; and » we point with pride to the fact that in North Dakota the cost to our fed- eral government per ce! do man ine ducted into war service from’ i state was only the sum of $1.83 as com- pared with some other states where the cost ran as high as $19.00 per man, and as compared with the aver- age in the United States as $4.73 per certified man; and for the loyalty of service to our Federal Government demonstrated by the enactment and enforcement of the Seed and Feed! Bonding Act which by its operation, as statistical returns of the United States Department of Agriculture show, has heen responsible for the in- crease in acreage for crop production this year in this state of over 1,000,- 000 acres; and for the enactment and enforcement of the Idle Acre Act by the State Council of Defense which has - Children Cry The Kind You Have Always Bought, end which has been in use for over iuirty years, has borae the signature of ° CME a. an pas been made under his per- sonal supervisi ii i 3 y Lenk We pervision since its infancy.

We heartily commend the atti- jtude and expression.of the federal ad- jviolence and the mob spirit, and in | seeking to repress activitfes in our {nation destructive of a real Democracy for all the people. And we affirm and say in the words f President: Wilson that “any Amer- an who takes part in the action of mob or gives it any source of coun- tenance 4s no true son of the great Democracy but its betrayer, and does {more to discredit her by that single idisloyalty to her standards of law and |, ‘of right than the words of her states- | men or the sacrifice of her heroic boys fering people beaeve her to be their | saviour.” AS | We condemn the acts and utter- Jances of Governor Burnquist of Min- jnesota and of his associates which have incidet mob violence and disre- ect for the-law, and of his public ut-| rances in this state which have serv- ej to cust reflections upon the loyalty sad integrity of the people of this state and upon our Governor, | We put ndemn the malicious ‘and vile slander and utterances that have beer published and cast abroad | within and without this state, that served to question the loyalty bf the people of the state of North Dakota, that }ove served by their publications jto ercate distrust concerning the cred- it of this state, that have imputed at- tempts or desires for the state as a sovereign body t@ take over, own and control every producing agency in this state and that have wilfully mis- represented ‘the loyal war activities of the officials of this state for purposes of discrediting this state and its peo-' ple throughout the nation, and for purposes of seeking thereby to gain petty political advantage for office seeking politicians. We heartily commend the state officials and particularly William Lan- Attorney General, for his fear- less and energetic efforts in enforc- ling the laws of this state, and par- {ticularly our laws concerning the sale rand disposition of intoxicating liquor, {and concerning vice’ and immorality. | We approve of the efforts in this di- irection of the administration to clean lup in this state conditions of drunk- enness, vice and immorality. | 6. The chief factor in successful ‘government being the education of our \children, we are in favor of a greater ‘development of the public schools and |1 |with special reference to the rural ‘schools where the majority of the chil- dren are enrolled and where the need for development is by far the great- jest. We, therefore, endorse for re- jelection our present State Superinten- \dent of Schools, N. C. McDonald and ‘heartily commend the activities of his ‘administration in promoting the de- velopment of rural schools; and to extend and hasten this development we are in favor of the necessary legis- lation to make such possible. We believe in the development of our state educational institutions of higher learning and with special ret- erence to the Agricultural College, to the end, that they shall be in a posi- tion to give the most valuable infor- mation 6 the citizens of the state and |' especially as to the best methods of tilling and conserving the soil and marketing the products of the farms. munication and ability to reach the markets being of vital concern to the {agricultural interests of this state, we jfavor the building and maintdining of state roads, and the enactment of laws that will enable the state to continue to receive its full share of the benefits under the national highway legisla- tion. We also favor such change in the State’s darinage law as will make the law more practical and useful to the people where drainage is needed. 9.

We favor the election of judges of the supreme court of men of the high- est ability and integrity, who are fear les and impartial, and we heartily en- dorse:the candidacy of Harry A. Bron- son for judge of the cupreme court upon his splended record as a man, as lawyer and as Assistant Atorney General of this state. 10. We assert the necessity during the present hour of the nation’s triad of protecting human life and liberty in our own country and of guarding our workers from exploiting and op- pression. We urge that our govern- ment provide for the severe punish- ment of all who by speculation, mo- nopoly or extortion, gain or seek to gain unearned profits out of the nec- essities of life to the injuory of the producer and consumer. We stand for the taxation of war profits as the most just and essential contdibution toward defraying the expenses of the war. If this is insufficient, we urge that the war be further financed out of the surplus incomes of those who rece ve far more than their needs, before ad djtional burdens are. laid upon the Wacks of thosé who are already heav:- ly taxed by excessive war prices for the necessities of life. ~ Therefore we endorse John M. Baer from the first district, George M. Young from the second. district, and » H. Sinclair from the third district whose public activities prove that and by the people, as our candirates fey are for the government of, for for congress from this state. We urge all progressive and patr otic citizens of this state to unitedly support these candidates for state-and national office so that the new free- dom in the state of North Dakota may grow and be perpetuate. Fy 11. 'We favor the fixing of a rea- sonable and just price by the food ad- ministration not only upon wheat, but all sustitutes that are used in place of wheat, anr tlso upon other necessahies to sustain life. And we protest against the singiine out of one product, such as wheat, and urge that more strenuous effrt be tak- en upon the part of the food admin- istration ao regulate the price of fooi- stuffs and such other commodities as the farmers would need in tae pro- duction of farm products.

To our great President and Comman- der-in-ehief we send greetings; to him we pledge our unqualified sup-/ ballot so that it may apply port. The first duty of every American in| the present crisis is to lend all pos- sible aid to the Federal Government in the conduct of the war in which we are engageg, and we rejoice in’ the fact that our beloved country has at this time for:its Chief Executive a man possessed of such clear vision, high ideals and remarkable grasp of pub- lic questions as Woodrow Wilson.

We oppose the exemption of per- manent improvements and personal property from taxation, a measure ad- vocated by the Nonpartisan League, be- lieving that the levying of all taxes upon lands, and the elimination of personal property from =taxation, to! be unjust to the people generally and especially injurious to the agricultur- al interests of this State. We are opposed to any amendment of the State Constitution which will re=|% move the safeguards now surrounding the school funds of the State, and we are unalterably opposed to any pro- |gram favoring the investment of these | finds in other than gilt-edged secur- ities; and when such funds are invest- led in mortgages, in no case should the {amount loaned exceed one-half of the actual valuation of the securities. We vigorously object to having our political affairs controlled by a social- ist autocrat living outside the State and having no interest here other than 2 desire to experiment with a program of State socialism to the detriment of the citizens of North Dakota. We ,favor the building and operat- ing at the expense of the State, a ter- minal elevator, its location to be de- termined by a commission appointed by the Governor for that purpose. , We favor submitting to the people of the State, an amendment to the Con- stitution allowing the erection of a state-owned flour mill, and recom-; mend its adoption. Recognizing the fact that education is a material factor in the development of high standards of citizenship, we pledge ourselves to an efficient and energetic program for. the _ better- ment of our rural schools, that the youth of the State, both in the villages and on, the farms may have the best possible educational advantages. We urge the extension of our pres- ent Nonpartisan judiciary and school to all pose of which shall be the carrying out | ervation. of this platform pledge. We favor an amendment to the Constitution providing for State Hail Insurance by an acreage tax. Realizing that good roads is a ma- terial factor in improving our rural communities ‘bringing about a better understanding and feeling between our rural and urban popilation, we urge the utmost co-operation with the Federal government in its “Good Roads” program and otherwise pro- mote the building and maintaining of roads in every community to the end that the means of transportation to and from ou rrural communities may be brought to the highest state of efficiency. 1904 he was reelected. ate, in which body he served with or to himself and his district. ~ L.
