Proceedings Tame and Not Over
Ten Minutes Occupied.
The session of the senate yester-
day was brief and the only business
done, aside from the introduction of
bills, was the ballot for United States
senator. Mr.. Little, of Burleigh.
moved that the senate proceed to the
election of q United States senator.
There were no speeches, and as the
roll was called the senators merely
responded by stating the name of their
choice. Senator Hansbrough received
the full republican vote and the dem
ocrats voted for Max A. Wipperman.
of Richland county. When Mr. WHIP
permans name was called he voted
for Hon j. l.. Cashel, of Walsh county
The proceedings were entirely devoid
of incident, purely perfunctory in their
nature, and did not occupy more than
five minutes.

ator was equally devoid of interest
although there was some speechmak-
ing in that body. Mr.. Davis, of Ram.
sey, nominated Mr.. Hansbrough, and
Mr.. Van Arnam, of Richland. nom
mated Max A. Wipperman. The vote
was also devoid of incident being cast
purely along party lines. Mr.. Davis

to himself, true to his family. true tt
his constituents and true to his party
is worthy of the highest honor in the
gift of the American people an
proud today. gentlemen that among
the ranks of those who help to consti

the legislature of North Dakota we
have a man in the senate whom w
desire to present to you in nomination
for election to the Office of United
States senator We realize. Mr.
Speaker and gentlemen. that our eff
forts in this respect are entirely futile
that nothing will come of it, yet at the
same time. believing that merit should
always be rewarded, that those who
have fulfilled every duty, who have
done those things they should do,
should be remembered. and for this
reason and no other reason we desire
to present a man here today for the
consideration of this body The gen
tleman have in mind has been resi-
dent of our county for fifteen years.
He has been a true, honest, upright.
patriotic citizen. His highest ambition
has been to perform his whole duty.
He has filed offices of trust time and
again. For four years he was auditor
of our county. With nothing dispar-
aging to any other auditor we have
ever had. can say that the gentle
man has made as good an auditor as
our county has ever had. Two years
ago when the democratic party was
looking for a leader all turned to this
gentleman. At that time. as We all
knew. it was an utter impOssibility
for the party to elect a candidate. yet
at the same time, to maintain a proper
organization. we felt we must have a
man to lead us. to strengthen us. and
We were forced to nominate the
strongest man we had and all minds
turned that way He realized that a
nomination meant absolute defeat. yet
in the face of this he put on the armor
and went forth to battle and made the
best campaign any man ever made fol
