Today in our! state we ery for such leadetship as| will lift our toilers from the slough of despond that engulfs them, as) will be untiring in his efforts in be-| half of our men and women, We go {o the early history:of our party for inspiration. We look back on our progress); proud to have incorporated in our! platform demands tor the Industrial} Program. Laws have : been passed i grain, a bank of the people, not priz| vately owned, but owned by all of! the people, a mill and elevator, state | owned, to help in a sane marketing} of: the state’s crops, protection against hail at cost and many acts beneficial tothe people and against | the building up of privilege and spe-! cial interest in North Dakota, For Industrial Program Three times the Republican party has spoken in no uncertain tones in| support of the Industrial Program. ; It stands today as, it stood in the} past, strongly supporting the Indus-| trial Program, eager to support, @} pmore full operation of those indus-) tries that it brought into heing.. - Posing as Republicans there now) sits in the chairs of the Industrial | Commission the offspring of a bi- partisan organization, born of those who ‘have traded their party to the political enemies to the end that its friends may fatten at a political trough, Men who have abandoned, the Republican party and have gone over to, and fused with reactionary | Democrats. have by such,action per-} mitted the opponents of the Republi- can party to bring about the nomina- tion on the republican ballot of op- ponents of the Industrial Program. Reviewing the action of the pres-! ent Industrial Commission we find ; there a determined éffort to undo the work that the Republican party ‘Gn North Dakota has so valiantly stood for. This hybrid organization 4n its collosal presumtuousness re- fuses to support a real Republican candidate for the United States Sen- ate. Rather, it pets and caresses the | ‘candiate of that faction of the op- posing party which was present at) and assisted in, the hybrid. concep- tion. We conclude tha€ this, bipartisan | organization is not Republican, We| find our duty plain, the voters ot North Dakota must: have an oppor-/ tunity to elect men who will stand on the platform which the Republi-! cans have so-long fought for; — Lemke:For Gévernor” 5 Therefore, We the duly elected Republican State Central Committee | in convention legally assembled re-j solve that inasmuch as the primary| election laws fix the party column on} the ‘ballot for the general election, William Lemke, of Fargo, our for-) mer Chairman and staunch friend of the state of North Dakota be asked to stand for election as Republican candidate for governor in the Inde- pendent column; that Bert F. Baker of Glenburn, be asked to stand for election ag Republican candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture and} Labor in the Independent column and Ed R. Sinkler of Minot, be asked to stand for election as Republican | candidate for Attorney General in! the In@ependent column; so that 2) ticket of candidates of known Re- publican allegiance be submitted for | the consideration of the voters and} that men who support the Republi- can demands and Republican princi- ples be elected to office. Platform The platform adopted follows: We re-affirm our belief in the traditions, and confidence in the; prineipfes of the Republican party, and believe that through it can best be fulfilled the hopes and aspiration | of the State and Nation. We stand where we stood in the: past, We re-affirm our confidence in the Industrial Program. Believing that the funds that belong to all the people ought to be used to finance the activities that belong to all the people and thereby be the bulwark for the financial integrity of our state, and we do demand that the Bank’ of North Dakota be restored to its former position and prestige. We favor a reduction in the penal- tigs on unpaid taxes, whereby such penalties shall be consistent with the usual rate of interest. i | i We. deplbre the present crisis caused by the shortage, of fuel,-be- cause of the \selfishness of the monopolistic control of the mines, and favor a further development ott North Dakota lignite resources, to; the end that the state in the near future-may supply it’s own fuel. _-. Want Rates Reduced There has been a steady reduction of the wages of railway employees until a point below living wage has been reached and yet theré has been no appreciable reduction in railroad rates, Realizing that transportation and distribution is the life of com- merce, we pledge our Republican candigates to use every endeavor to secure just and reasonable reduc- tion both freight and passenger ‘yates, both’ inter- and intra-state. We are proud of the record of the Republican party in this state in ber ing the first state in the Union to point the way to compensae the ex- service men for their sptendid and patriotic services to the nation. As the growing child becomes the grown man or woman, we condemn compulsory child labor, which tends, to stifle the fullest development of} intellect and body. We are proud of the women of th state for the active intelligent and) in their porticipation in ‘the duties of government, ; We favor the immediate fixing by Congress of a reasonable and just price\for wheat, so'that the agricul- tural interests of the state and the nation may continue and be saved from disaster. ‘We favor the continuance and en- forcement of the Workmen’s Com- pensation Act and the other labor laws enacted by the Republican par- ty of the State. As one largely instrumental in our| progress, with much satisfaction we re-affirm our confidence in the splen- did leadership and integrity, and re- cult conditions and inadequate and adverse laws, for its successful ef-; forts to, re-establish the ‘state's! credit and for the faithful perform- ance of its pledges, i We commend ‘the efforts of the present industri: commission in speedily completing the state~mill| and elevator project at Grand Forks, and-its determination to give the en- terprise a,fair business trial] in ac- cérdance with our former pledges, and commend its |administration of | the Bank of North Dakota. We rec- ommend the enactment of laws to prqvide for the more efficient man- agement of the mill and elevator and the creation of a non-political body te control and conduct such indus- y Resoutions, adopted by the antty league “Real Republican” state com: publicans that Lynn J, Frazier, nom- trial experiment, We -reiterate our recommendation for the reorganization of the Bank of North Dakota into a state rural credits institution under the man- agement of a non-political body. We approve the policy of the ad- ministration in closing out an liqui- dating the home building association, ‘and recommend ;the repeal of laws establishing such © project, We urge the enactment of proper laws to revise and remodel the work- men’s compensation law with the view to establishing more equitable rates and greater efficiency in ad- ministration. We recommend that the next legis- lature revise the state assessment and taxation laws with the view of reducing the public tax burden and to establishing a more equitable sys- tem of taxation in the state, joice in the nomination of Lynn’ J.

Message to Speaker In addition the following message was offered: : To the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Washington, D. C.
