port the following:
Resolutions.
1. As representatives of the repub
lican party of Towner county, we are
^Assembled at Cando in conven
*tSon on Jan. 11. 1912. We take
Stride in referring to the history of
"tjiat great party. It has been first in
vfcevry
rlttep
effort to develop and improve
$frie condition of the American people.
Jts unblemished record of over fifty
gears' standing Is as priceless a mon
ument as any organization could have,
»nd we have unbounded faith that it
%ill meet all emergencies with the
tihme success that it has in the past.
2. The republican party of the na
tion is soon to select its standard bear
er for the November elections of 1912.
iBuch standard bearer must be a man
Who has proven his unflinching devo
tion to the ideals of the American peo
ple find who will permit no backward
in the continuance of the advance
to realize those ideals*
"V.e believe that the man who has
4io ably ruled the nation since March,
'56909, whose sincerity and honesty »n
^be discharge of his duties as presi
dent of the United States, are unques
tionable even by those who may not €e
"1|* accord with the policies of the pres
ent administration, and whose high
BBt aim in life is to comply with the
declaration of our martyred president,
Abraham Lincoln, to the effect th*t
'ttiis shall be a government "of the peo
for the people, and by the people."
1 We believe that such a man is the
Jjtonorable Wm. H. Taft, president of
JQue United. States, and we earnestly
Recommend that a delegation favor
#,e to the candidacy of Wm. H. Taft
ifbr president of the United States be
poured by the people of this state at
the coming primaries.
f:: 3. We believe that the man whose
fftecord, ability and character best com
irHiend him to the people of this state
as the next governor of the state of
North Dakota, is' that man who has
•been tried and never found wanting,
that man whose life experience has
*(ersed him in all affairs of state and
fetation, that man whose heart is in
•empathy with the people and whose
•very work is consecrated to their
•Welfare and best interests, the Hon.
X* B. Hanna of Fargo, N. D.,
Whom we aure proud to endorse un
qualifiedly for the office of governor
of the state of North Dakota
4. The interests of North Dakota
.demand that Its representatives in
congress be men who believe in ac
'tJon. Hon. H. T. Helgesen of Milton,
St. D.. is at the present time
candidate from this district for that
Nrffice. He is one of the pioneers of
.North Dakota. His life has been de
ytoted to the development and building
up of North Dakota. His untiring ef
forts in that respect and his un
swerving devotion to the interests of
Ua constituents and the nation have
been and are such in and out of office
to enlist our unanimous approval
jlnd endorsement of his candidacy,
.^•5. By his unfailing devotion to the
duties of his office and his impartial
•ttitude in the discharge of justice,
Judge John F. Cowan has won and
Merited feelings of gratitude and ap
preciation from the people of our
county. Judge Cowan has most ably
filled the official position of of
tjie Second judicial district of our
•tate for years. Because that office is
Sfeost sacred to us in that it is the
tmericans,
jardian of society and our rights as
wo are most interested In
feeing to it that our choice for it is
A man in whom we have implicit con
fidence. Judge Cowan's record as a
Jurist commands that confidence of us
His manhood, his experience, his
Jtarning, his knowledge of human af
fairs and his penetrating power of
analyzing right between men com
mend Judge Cowan to us and entitles
fyim to our unqualified support. Let
up therefore reiterate our motto:
'•Towner county is united for Judge
Cowan."

people of this state are to nominate
