For Superintendent of Public !nstruc.

For Commissioner of Agriculture
w. G. GILBREATH Of Morton.
1t is beyond dispute that public
sentiment demands change in the
U. S. senatership. This can be &C
ceHted as fact without discussion
or the reasons wherefore. The entire
question is the matter of the selec-
ton of a successor to the present in
cunbent:
G. B. Little, who is brought forward
IN response to this demand for new
blood and activity in the forwarding
OF the interests of the state, is not
untried in public life. For twenty
years, since the very organization
Of the state of North Dakota, he has
been member of the state senate
and chairman of the judiciary COM
mi1tee the entire time; has had more
to do than any other man with the franz
Ing of it's legislation. No one under
stands better than he the needs Of
e.
Nogth Dakota, and no one has worked
more untiringly and with greater 10y
atty to meet them He is nan of
keen discrimination, sound judgment
and fine executive ability, who has
made success in a business way be-
fore reaching his prime. He pos.
sesses personality which is a guar.
antee that in case of his election
there will be an absence Of friction
In the congressional delegation, which
Will then pull together for the benefit
OF the state and not for the advance
ment of personal interest. His home
being at Bismarck, the state capital,
IN the county of Burleigh, centrally
located, the geographical distribution
Of the states representatives in con.
gress will be very satisfactorily ad.
5usted, and his election would do more
than that Of any other man to unite
Ill sections Of the state in political
harmony and community of interest.
The Congressional Race.
For congress, the selection of A. ].
Gronna of Nelson county, who has al.
ready demonstrated his fitness by his
splendid service for the state, and L.
b. Hanna, who has been a representa-.
tive in the legislature and has the
distinction OF having been a state
senator from two different districts,
are without doubt far above all other
candidates, both in point of qualifica
ton and popularity gained in the faith
ful discharge Of public duty.
Justice of the Supreme Court.
For justice of the supreme court is
presented Edward H. Wright of Cass
cosnty, a brilliant lawyer of judicial
temperament, a man Of great energy
who has won especial distinction in
supreme court practice.
johnson Real Leader.
For governor is selected Hon. C. A.
Johnson Of Minot, a man around whom
Ill republicans can rally with enthu.
siasm as a candidate for chief execu-
i've OF the state. In him can be seen
q real leader in the sense that his
personal popularity will bring togeth-
or the different elements Of the party
In united effort for victory as no
other man can. There will be no
smirch OF democracy on the banner
Of repubEicanism this fall if he is he
standard bearer.
Mr.. Johnson, too, has demonstrated
hi4 ability in public life. He has been
twice elected from the 29th legisla-
TIVE district as a representative with
til distinction Of receiving the high
- vote ever given member Of the
North Dakota legislature.
Lewis for Lieutenant Governor.
Hon. Robert 8. Lewis of Cass coun-
q. the present lieutenant governor.
r 4 candidate for reelection. He serv.
q in the state senate four years, and
Uas largely instrumental IN securing
- enactment Of some Of the most
benefrs-s laws Dassed during those
