ways that Gov. sarles realizes the
matters tliat Will be Of advantage and
benent to the people and sets about to
zee that they are done. His business
experience 5is invaluable. And the
cooperation Of able oficers enables
the Republicans Of the state to go be-
fore the, people with q splendid record
for clean management and good sense
in dealing with state questions.
+ The present administration of the
state has been quick to see the advan.
tage arising to the state from the
turning Of peoples attention to the
rich lands of North Dakota and has
worked in every way to present to the
people Of the West and the Middle
West the advantages of investment
and homemaking in North Dakota.
Never has there been steadier or
more valuable immigration to the state
than that of the past two years. Elk.
plotting Of the resources of the state
has been the platform of candidate
for governor of Minnesota. This ia
the work the state has been doing in
North Dakota for the two years past,
and the results of it show in every
county in the central and western
part of the state and in every one OF
the hundreds of new cities that are
springing up. The state, through the
efforts of the governor and with funds
contributed largely by people in the
state alive to the benefits of an ex-
hibit at the Portland exposition, made
there fine display of the resources of
the state at a very small expense. The
state has now on the road travelling
exhibit of grains, grasses, lotteries,
and the hundred and one resources OF
the state, for display at fairs in states
of the Middle West, under the person
al charge of the commissioner of agri-
culture. This is the way railroads
help settle lands along their lines and
in the same practical way the State
of North Dakota is helping bring into
North Dakota thousands of settlers
whose money is invested here, who
help make fertile the unoccupied
lands, who increase the tax rolls of
the state and who are helping increase
the prosperity, wealth and happiness
of the whole state.
North Dakota is one of the most
prosperous states of the Union. With
the exception of one term it's affairs
have been controlled by the Republic
an party. At the present time it is
splendidly Offered with clean and
able business men. It has an admin
istration that works in harmony with
the president and with the national
Republican administration. It's sena-
tors, McCumber and Hansbrough, &C.
cupy high positions in the organization
of the senate. They have the chair
manship of some Of the most impor-
tant committees. Senator Hansbrough
is chairman of the committee on pub
lie lands and is a member of the
finance committee, the committee on
agriculture and occupied many other
important positions whereby his SER
vices are of particular value to the
state. Senator McCumber is chairman
of the committee on pensions and
many an old soldier in the state has
had his claim brought to the attention
of congress and fairly adjusted
through Senator McCumber's influ-
ence and standing. Senator McCum-
Der was one Of the leaders in the fight
for the pure food bill and was an i'm
portant factor in other important leg
islation. The congressman of the
state are A. j. Gronna of Lakota,
business man of long experience and
prosperity, and Thomas F. Marshall
of Cakes, banker and old time res
ident of the state, whose work in con-
gress has been of value. Mr.. Gronna
will be better than ever qualified to
serve the state during his second term,
and he has taken hold of legislative
matters in the lower house like an old
member of congress. He is a repre-
sentative of the sturdy Scandinavian
type that is SO potent in business and
political affairs in the Northwest.
With such a delegation in congress, in
dorsed by the vote of the people of the
state, North Dakota stands exception
ally well with the Republican national
administration, and with harmonious
Republican state administration work
ing in harmony with the congression-
al delegation, the people of the state
will have every reason to congratulate
themselves upon the character of their
officers and upon returning an over
whelming majority for every one of
them who is candidate.
Disappointed.
