Oakes Republican. (Oakes, N.D.) 1898-1906, 1904-04-08
MARSHALL AND SPALDlNG
Sentiment in the State Reflected by the Press Strongly
Favors Return Of Both Gentlemen to Congress

Favors Return Of Both
IT'S C1NCH.
ElleDdale Leader: Tie LaMoure
Chronicle is fearful lest Jud or Alex OF
some other bugaboo might get after
Congressman Marshall. We think
the Chronicle unduly exercised. It's
a cinch that Marshall will be re-
turned.
JUST PLAIN TOM.
Grand Forks Plaindealer: Repre-
sentative Tom Marshall is about as
democratic a man as there is in the
United States house of representa-
tives. While in Minneapolis about
six months ago, he met young
journalist of this state. The young
man persisted in calling him Mr..
Marshall. Finally Mr.. Marshall
broke in with: ''Say young man, if
you'll quit calling me Mr.. and made
it plain Tom, I'll buy you good
cigar"
TO BENEFIT OLD SOLDIERS.
Saltwater (Minn) Gazette: A bill
has bsen introduced in congress by
Representative Marshall of North
Dakota, for furnishing the old soldiers
with addressed franked envelopes for
returning to pension agencies their
executed vouchers. This measure is
approved by the commissioner of
pensions and the postmaster general.
1t is estimated that the enforcement
of the proposed law would result in a
saving to the pensioners of about
$4,000 a year.
WOULD BE BLUNDER.
Hankinson News: The News hopes
there will be change in the states
congressional delegation as a result
of this years elections The present
delegation, Messrs. Marshall and
;Spalding in the house aud Senators
Hansbrough and McCumber, are
strictly all right and to relegate any
of them to private life would be a
serious blunder. We believe this is
the sentiment of nine -tenths of the
voting republicans Of the state and
the slate makers in the state conven-
tion should govern themselves ac-
cordingly.
INTEREST IN THE VETERANS.
Tioga Gazette: The many friends
of Albert Daniels will be pleased to
learn that the Hon. Thomas Marshall,
one of North Dakota's congressman,
has given his personal attention to
Albert's application for a pension,
and that the necessary evidence is
all in, and it is thought that the de-
partment will act favorably on the
application when it comes before
them. Congressman Marshall has
endeared himself to his constituents
in this section by his interest in a
veteran and a deserving man.
NOT BUILT UP IN THAT WAY,
Minneapolis Tribune: As another
congressional campaign comes on
apace in North Dakota there is talk
in some quarters of retiring Congress-
man Marshall because he is not &C.
ceptable to the reputed bosses in that
state-McKenzie and La Moure- but
from the tone of the state press
generally, nothing will come of it.
Mr.. Marshall is just beginning to
demonstrate his value to his state
and there is small likelihood that he
will be set back just because some
other ambitious citizen wants a try al
il. Strong congressional delegations
are not built up in that way.
THE MAN WHO DOES THINGS.
Devils Lake Free Press: Congress
man Marshall is "it'' 80 far as the
people of this part Of the state who
are interested in the opening of the
Devils Lake Indian reservation ie
concerned. They haye from that the
title aTha Man who does thinRs.'
