Various committees had been nam- ed to look’ after*raatters needing at tention and all acted with the idea of entertainment’ and pastime and each committee did their Part with- “out a hitch. A band of twelve pieces composed largely of local talent added to keep- ing moving a feeling of appreciation among especially, the old settlers ana. while all doings of the day moved along in the groove of least resist= , nee the main object’ of this gather- ing was—the reorganization of the defunct old settlers organization and this was accomplished by the gather: ing of a goodly number of the oldest old settlers in the pavilion—some ‘present dating their residence back to the ycar 1880 with, in many in- stances, continuous residence in Kid- der county and the reorganized Old Settlers are now officered as fol- lows: Tunison Berry, president; 1 A.

A. not Democrat or Republican. The question to me seems ‘to be shall we return to a spirit of loyalty to our state and promote the General Welfare and security of all the people of the state This cannot be accomplished by dividing the state into two hostile camps each denouncing the ‘other as bandits and self seeking -exploiters and (despollers of the tax payers who seem to be per- fectly willing to dip their hands into the public treasury of the State to secure funds wi ie to circularize and exhort their side of the Feud. The latest évidence of this shameful violation of the use of public funds is the pamphlet entitled, “Facts and Figures on North Dakota's Rural Credits System” published June 5th, 1922, by the Industrial Commission A mere glance at the contents of this pamphlet brands it as a campaign document in Commission ‘been empowered to tax the people of the state to publish and ‘circulate at public expense campaign literature for either side of this Feud.

It is about time that we cease to belittle and vilify the people of \} this great state who in spite of the vicious attacks of Feudists has steadily forged ahead. The Democratic party refuses to be dragged ‘into this deplorable feud now raging in the Republican Party. A few self appointed office seeking democrats have taken it upon themselves to make tha Democratic Party a vest pocket addition of the Republican aly, @ sort of a rear appendage as it were. The Democratic Party has no League or Anti League Feud within its ranks. The Democrats that have stood out in the ‘taceyof overwhelming odds and. battled. for Democracy are not going to desert the good old ship. now just to secure a few loaves and fishes to be served up to a few slackers who are hungry for, office tainted with socialism which dominates both sides of the Republican feud. the Democratic party offers the state pure unadulterated Democracy, by maintaining the party intact inde- pendent and free from fusion.
