Mckenzie continues to send for
local North Dakota political leaders
to meet him at the Merchants
Hotel in St. Paul where, if they
are agreeable, he fixes them up
with a little bunch of tainted
money and a few railroad passes
to be distributed where they will
help most. And yet, after all his
efforts, he finds that Hansbrough
is growing stronger and Little is
growing weaker. The whilom boss
refuses to recognize the changed
conditions. The people will settle
the political questions in the June
primaries, and are likely to furnish
the Merchants Hotel ticket with
some surprises. Mckenzie will

The activity of Alexa nder Nc
Kepzie in calling many of the
politicians of the state down to
st. Paul to talk politics and make
up political deals, is not convinc-
ing anyone that Mckenzie has
withdrawn from North Dakota
politics even though he is not a
candidate for committee man from
North Dakota. From man who
knows and has been within Nc
Kenzie's rooms during the last
few weeks we have learned that
Mckenzie is one of the busiest
men in the country just now.

One of the hottest political bat
ties ever fought out in Devils Lake
occurred here Saturday when the
Mckenzie gang headed by General
Creel and backed by corporation
money endeavored to stampede the
city against Senator Hansbrough.
The battle commenced in earnest
several days prior to the caucuses,
when several outside celebrities
appeared on the field and after q
consultation with a few of the
faithful (?) proceeded to sharpen
up their axes and start in to do up
Hansbrough in his own city and
county. There was no stint of the
realm, and when Friday night a
special car arrived on the Great
Northern with more corporation
implements of war it sure looked
like a fight to a finish.
Devils Lake was surely a hotbed
of political energy Saturday. There
was nothing tame about the affair.
and when the smoke of battle
rolled away it was found that the
corporation had wasted it's fra
GRANGE on the desert air" for they
did not not even get a look in.
Everything was for Hansbrough,
and what was more it was strong
enough to leave not a particle of
doubt about the possibility of buy

The result was as follows:

Mr.. G. B. Little while member of
the senate and in a position to
assist the people. Why did he do
this? Under the direction and
dictation of Alec Mckenzie he was
obliged to &C against the best
interests of his constituents. These
two men and their subordinates
have in the past and do at the
present represent the big railroad
and other corporations and large
moneyed interests of the state as
against the farmer and man of
small means. It makes no differ
ence what anyone may tell you
about the matter, the record shows
for itself.
If you wish a continuation of
the policies which you believe and
know to be detrimental to your
interest and to that of your neigh
Dor, you can help them by voting
for them. If on the other hand
you desire to have only that which
is right, just and equitable. and
which will enlarge your capacity,
conserve your energy and give you
greater freedom and earning pow
er, vote for the delegates who
represent this larger thought and
more complete expression of the
people of the state.
Mr.. Hansbrough has not taken
any part in the Minot convention.
He stands for the purest republi-
canism as advocated by Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Taft. He is invariably
against unlawful combinations,
graft and greed, and in favor of all
that will aid in any manner the
farmer or man of small means.
Which will you have, the repre-
sentative of the rich and powerful,
or the man who helps the common
toiler and the poor? It's up to
you.
