At Killdeer it was the Town Criers club which went on record while the action at Danzig was taken by the Commercial club. Every member of the latter organization pledged him- self to do all in his power to educate the voters of McIntosh county as to the benefits involved in retaining the capital at Bismarck. The text of the Danzig: resolution follows: “WHEREAS, the voters of the state of North Dakota will vote on the removal of the state capital from Bismarck to Jamestown on the 15th day of March, 1932; 5 “WHEREAS, the enn to the yoters of the state of North Dakota in removing said capital would amount to several million dollars; Would Be Great Loss “WHEREAS, there are millions of dollars invested by the citizens of Bismarck which would be greatly depreciated in value by said removal; “WHEREAS, the capital of the state of North Dakota was located at Bismarck by the constitutional assembly; “WHEREAS, our railroads and highways directly lead to Bismarck; “THEREFORE, the following res- olution was unanimously adopted: “BE IT RESOLVED, that cach member of this club pledges that he will do all in his power to educate the voters of McIntosh county as to the benefits involved in retaining the capital at Bismarck, North Dakota.” John J.
