this city that there would be no peace

kota. Nobody has ever said that he
was disloyal to this state or to this
county or to this city. Nobody has
ever said that they have ever written
a letter to Senator Hansbroueh that
went unanswered. Nobody has ever
said that they ever wrote him to do
something for them at Washington

erected here in his home town ought
to be an enduring monument to his un-

occasion to meet with you in welcom-

partisan welcome, to meet him upon
equal footing with no political clouds
between us, to meet him here as man

that was necessary for this state he
has done everything as far as | can
see that could be done.

Hansbrough got it, at least a part of
1t, for North Dakota, and here today
among his old friends and old ac-
quafntances we are glad to meet him.

tending hearty welcome and at the
