That City Does Not Seem
Over Enthusiastic About
hansbrOugh !
Majority Of People Seem to
Favor Men on the Stall
Wart Ticket

Devils Lake, N. D., June 5.-Com-
pletely disgusted with the Inability
Of Senator Hansbrough to make
even Memorial day address with
out dragging into it his political as
pirations, many Of his best friends
are drawing away from him III this
city. Up to last Saturday there
were few men in the city who were
willing to say that they were; not
for Hansbrough but those condi-
lions have been changed and there
are many now who openly state that
they will no longer support him.
While Hansbrough has been losing
ground here in the past few days
the regular candidates Of the Re
publican party are rapidly gaining
and it is claimed here that the Stall
wart state ticket Wilt cary the coun-
ty. There appears to be but little
Twichell sentiment and a big ma
jority of the Hansbrough support
ers are working for G.. A. Johnson
for governor. In the congressional
ace, Judge McGlory Is expected to
poll a heavy vote in the county as
he has lived here for. many years
but the other vote will be divided
between L. B. Hanna and A. J. Gron
ma. Most of the sMcGlory men will.
place either Hanna or Gronna on
their ticket with the home man, as
there appears to be but little oppo-
sition to either.
Peter Gilberg, well known farm
er residing north Of the city, was in
yesterday and stated that his part
of the county would go stalwart by
a large majority. c. A. johnson is
very acceptable to the voters there.
He also claimed that G. B. Little
would get a fair vote from the farm
ers who are interested in the cleo
ton Of man in full sympathy with
the needs of the state.
State Senator Stade stated that he
was not sure that Hansbrough
! would have he complete support of
the county at the primaries in June
and he thought that M. N. Johnson
| would cut in to great extent. Out
| side of the senatorial race Mr.. Stade
claimed that the regular Republican
ticket would carry the county. He
stated that there was d great de-
mand among the people for the re-
tirement of the self-endorsed reform
| ers who are clammoring for Office
4 and Ramsey county seems to have
4 been picked for the operating ground
Of one of the worst punches, of such
candidates. n

Commissioner of Agriculture Gil
breath are conceded by an FACTIONS
to have big lead at the present
i and they can be expected to increase
that lead il any work is done. The

listed at Bismarck for the past two

j Nearly all Of the Hansbrough men
in Devils Lake announce themselve,
as being favorable to the regular
Republican candidates and many 81
them excuse their support or Hans
