We the independent candidates for state offices representing the Republican and Democratic voters in our state that are opposed to the socialistic regime forced on North Dakota at the instance of a group of ultra radicals assembled here from all parts of the nation do hereby express our approval of the suffrage amendment to the Federal Constitution and respectfully urge upon you and the members of your legislature the importance of following the example of our state by promptly ratifying said amendment so the women of the nation may enjoy universal suffrage
