If the tone of the state press
amounts to anything. Messrs. L. B.
Hanna of Fargo and A. j. Gronna, of
Lakota, seem to be the popular candi-
dates for congress. Mr.. Gronna is the
present congressman and is doing well
and should be reelected, while Mr..
Hanna is popular all over the state
and we'll equipped to represent the
state in congress. Both gentlemen
will be nominated, in our opinion

1t is given out in blind sort of
way that Thomas Marshall, the man
who got in his work at the Grand
Forks iusurgent convention is about
to withdraw from the senatorial race
and push his energy towards the land
ing of the national committeemahship
to succeed Alex Mckenzie. Tom is
