The Fargo Forum has the following
which is worthy the attention of poiiti-
cal leaders:
Iowa has gained a good deal of
political attention in the last few
wears, partly due to the b%rilliancy of
her statesmen and largely because she
has for years rolled up enormous mai
critics for the republican candidates
for president. The state has been duly
recognized for her loyalty by several
important positions and at the present
time enjoys the unique distinction of
having two representatives in the cabi.
net, Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.
The banner republican state in the
union in 1900 in the matter of size of
majority in proportion to population,
was Wisconsin with a majority
for President Mckinley of 105 900
Wisconsin was rewarded with a cabi
net position Hon. Henry c. Payne being
the postmaster general. To North Da,
kota belongs the honor of SURPRISING
the record of Wisconsin. North Dako
ia gave a majority for President Nc
Kinley about equal to that of Wiscon
sin. considering population, but die
better. North Dakota was the only
state in the union in which every coun
ty CAV a majority for President Nc
Kinley. And yet North Dakota ha,
not been rewarded with a seat in tn,
cabinet. North Dakota claims Presi
dent Roosevelt as one of her O h
hoving spent a very important epoci
of his life in the state, and the loyalt,
OF her people for the present incur
