ENTHUSIASTIC FOR LITTLE

The candidacy of G.. B. Little for
the senate is meeting with enthusiast
tic encouragement from all parts of
the state and particularly in the west
tern part, where Mr.. Lit.
tie has lived for the past quarter of a
century and where his sterling quail
ties, as business man, as citizen and
as republican, are best known, does
he find the heartiest encouragement.
The Dickinson Press comment upon
the candidacy of Mr.. Little is typical
of dozens Of press comments that are
to be seen all through this section of
the state: :.
<sIn the candidacy of Col. G. B. Lit
tie of Bismarck for the United States
senate the people of this western part
of the state have splendid opportun-
ity to vote for western man, a man
who knows the needs and desires of
the Missouri Slope country and of the
country west of the river, and who
may be relied upon to look after the
interests of our thousands of new set
tiers. Mr.. Little has been resident
Of Bismarck for more than twenty-five
years and has been in line for every
move for the benefit of the western
part of North Dakota It seems to
us that it is our duty to support a
western man for this position and
have a representative in the senate at
Washington who knows what the pee
pie of this great section want, who
will be in position to do more for
them than any other candidate in the
field The Missouri Slope country is
growing remarkably and yet for
years the representation in con-
gress has come altogether from the
eastern part of the state. Mr.. Little
is the equal CT any man who has held
the position of senator from this state
and is clean, active and up-to-date
business man, who has had wide ex-
perience in legislation Surely the
candidacy of Mr.. Little gives our PEG
pie out here an opportunity that
should not be overlooked in the prim-
aries to get on the map so far as rep
resentation in congress is concerned.
Under the primary election law the
people of the state are given an op-
portunity to express their choice d.
rectly and the indications are that Mr..
Little will have nearly the solid
strength of the western part of tne
state in his campaign. The votes in
the western counties have been in
creasing for several years and now
they will hold the balance of power
in the primary election. Ali that is
needed is for the voters Of the west
ern part of the state to stand togeth-
er in their voting and Mr.. Little will
oe the republican nominee for the SEN
ate. The press of the western part OF
the state is practically unanimous for
MIR. Little and our peoples interests
In this election are to see that he
receives practically the solid vote OF
the western counties. With Little. and
McCumber in the senate and Hanna
and Gronna in the house, the state
will have delegation second to none
at Washington. Senator McCumbei
Is one of the leaders in the senate
Senator Hanna has been chairman Of
The republican state committee and is
a thorough business man who stands
well all over the state. Mr.. Gronns
mas served two terms in congress ant
Is as capable as any man who could
ne sent to Washington. No better
ticket could be voted for at the prim
ary election.
