A The committee, however, is not ex- pected to emphasize arguments of a nature derogatory to Jamestwon. It feels that Bismarck’s stand wust be a dignified one and that the voters lof the state will be more impressed by a candid presentation of the facts than by recriminations and bitter- | ness. Jamestown Is Divided This attitude is based in part on the fact that only a part of James- town's citizens favor the removal plan and on the idea that Bismarck’s duty in the present emergency is to defend its interests and those of the taxpayers of the state rather than to attack Jamestown. | Among expressions of goodwill and Promises: of support received Satur- | day was one from Mayor A.
