irrigation project. 1t is understood
that enough land has been pledged
sufficient number of persons
have signed up-to insure the pro-
!ject and it only remains for State
Engineer Atkinson and others in
charge of the matter to perfect a
few minor details before the whole
proposition will be sent up to
Washington for the approval Of
the higher authorities who, it may
be stated here, are already commit
ted to the project-providing our
people do their part-as the chief
of the division, and his assistants
were here and looked into the pro-
position thoroughly.
1t is doubtful if our people rea-
lie, fully, the Importance of this
enterprise. 1t means the intensi-
fed farming of five or six thou
sand acres, possibly ten thousand
acres and the raising Of many
blades, Of many kernals. Of many
bushels, where comparative few
have been raised before. 1t means
a crop certainty to every person
who can turn on water just when
he wants it, and as much Of it as is
required to make crop a certainty.
If the Washburn- Wilton project a
success it will undoubtedly be fol-
lowed by similar projects encom-
passing the great Hancock bottoms
the Stevenson and other irrigable
stretches. 1t is hoped our people
will leave no stone unturned to &C.
complish the final reclamation Of
every acre of irrigable land tribu-
tary to Washburn along the Mis-
souri, river.

At the recent meeting at Nc
Clusky, g. B. Little had several OF
his paid strikers on the ground to
circulate the report among the
people that, if they desired to
throw off the Mckenzie yoke, they
should vote for Little for senator
as Mckenzie was for Hans
brough." This is the limitof sub.
lime deception. No doubt it is
desirable even on the Missouri
Slope to repudiate Mckenzie and
McKenzieism, but Mr.. Little's at
tempt to deceive the people by try
ing to make them believe that he
is not McKenzie's candidate must
surely fail. Mckenzie himself adj
mits that he is for Little because
he is a Bismarck man. If any
further evidence were needed
Little's paid strikers should be re-
CURED to explain how it came
about that in order to secure the
election of Senator McCumber last
time Mckenzie promised that he
would put Little into the senate in
1909 to succeed Hansbrough. This
promise was the beginning OF

try and seeking to gain control Of
other kinds Of machinery used by
farmers only. They have even
secured a monopoly Of the harness
business, and at this pace it will
only be a question Of time when
everything from a pitchfork to a
threshing machine will be in the
hands Of the trust.
Every honest effort put forth to
facilitate an inquiry into the
methods Of the harvester trust
should have the undivided support
Of all the grain growers in the
country and Senator Hansbrough's
fight against the trust is waged
with a firm determination that will
succeed in exposing the trust for
the good Of the people in general
and the growers in particular. 1t
can be done, and it will be done.
Any man or set of men placing
a barrier in the way of prosperity
and progress of our farmers ought
to be restrained by direct legisla-
ton. To take the initiative, to
institute an inquiry, to secure the
adoption of such measures as tend
to keep within proper bounds

support and should have the sup
port Of every tiller Of the SOIL

That the International Harvest.
er trust is one of the most en-
c%roaching monopolies Of the pres
ent day is a fact not to be denied
The advance in price Of harvesters
has in the view Of present condi.
tons reached a point where it is
nothing short Of highway robbery
and no time should be lost in
checking the onslaught of this
monster whose Ubiquitous methods
in robbing our farmers have been
systematized.
The harvester trust controls the
manufacture of binders in the
United States. Since it's incep-
ton in 1902, by consolidating the
several companies, the cost of out
put was reduced enormously by
reason of saving in labor, block
men, collectors, ETC., and other
forms Of hire were reduced in
numbers thereby. Now the once
familiar and at all times necessary
expert" has been relegated to the
past, so now the farmer must re-
pair his own binder and in case
that he is unable to do SO he buys
a new one. This is a part Of the
system. The material is of inferi-
or quality, compared with that
formerly used. A large amount
of the scrap iron, which is being
bought throughout the country
for little or nothing finds it's way
to the harvester's foundry where
it is converted into a binder.
So the binder ought to be cheap
er now than at any former time.
but then the advance in price of
about $40 is in keeping with the
aims and ideals of a corporation
whose sole object is wealth con-
centration. The situation, how
ever, would not be viewed with
such alarm were it not for the
fact that the trust is branch
ing out into other forms Of indus

Little's present candidacy. What
was McKenzie's purpose in max
ing such a promise? It twas two
fold; first, Mckenzie desired to de-
feat Hansbrough because the
latter has pe%rsistently supported
the policies Of Roosevelt which
was not agreeable to McKenzie's
friends and hackers, the corpora
ton. Little has been the corpora
ton man in the state senate for
many years and the mcnopolies
knew he would be their friend if
he we're sent to Washington. Nc
Kennels second incentive was that
Little had a bunch OF money to
spend in the campaign and money
has about the same effect upon
Mckenzie that molasses has upon
flies. Why is it, if Mckenzie is
against Little, that McKenzie's
friends of the Kennedy kind at
Fargo and the Scofeld and Murphy
kind at Minot, and a few others Of
the same kind at other points, are
shouting and plugging for Little,
and say that "Hansbrough has
been in the Senate long enough"
The people should understand the
fact to be that Mckenzie has
agreed that Little should go to the
United States senate. Hans
brough was not consulted about
the matter nor were the people
consulted about it, but the big boss
lust made the promise and that
settles it.

FRIDAY MARCH 6, 1908.
The Uncertainty Of Politics.

Politics is a kaleidoscope in
North Dakota that it is difficult to
keep pace with. Announcements
of candidates are made, the
chances Of this one or that one are
discussed with such abandon by
the press, the merits of this candi-
date or that candidate are so differ.
emily observed in different parts of
the state it is difficult at any time,
and especially under the new prim-
ary system to intelligently size up
the situation from week to week or
month to month. The announce
ment is now made that Senator
Sharpe who early announced his
candidacy for governor, subject to
the will of the republican voters at
the primaries, will not be candi-
date. He is in California for his
health and does not feel like max
ing the race. No sooner is he out
of the race, than comes the an
nouncement of G. A. johnson of
Ward county that he will be a can
didate. Thus the field is not left
to Mr.. Twitchell, the candidate of
the insurgent element. Mr.. John
son has been a member of the
legislature, mayor of his home city
of Minot, and is we'll known to
many of our people and he ought
to run especially we'll in the west
ern part of the state. While Mr..
is a good campaigner it
is understood that Mr.. johnson
will also make an active campaign
and our people will doubtless have
an opportunity of seeing him dur
ing the campaign,
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-03-06

It is a foregone conclusion that
North Dakota will send a strong
able delegation to the National
convention and in our estimation
it will be a strong endorsement of
Senator Hansbrough who is the
originator of the Taft boom in
North Dakota. This will be a
great boomerang to the trusts who
have set out to defeat the re-elec-
ton of the s~enator.-Goodrich
Citizen.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-03-06

The fact that Alex Mckenzie
and the International Harvester
trust are opposing the reelection
Of Senator Hansbrough should be
enough to show the people of North
Dakota where he stands relative
to the interests and trusts. 1t is
very apparent that Mckenzie and
his followers r supporting G. b.
Little, of Bismarck for the position
of senator, and that he is really
the choice Of the railroads and
trusts for the position.-Edmore
Herald.

Sizing up the political situation
at Minot and Ward county the Val
ley City Times says that it looks
as though Little had selected the
papers instead of the papers select
ing the candidate to oppose the
senator. The Williston Herald
says it looks to them like a support
of dollars and cents, principally
dollars.

W. notice in reading our ex-
changes that except for a few ex-
tremists, that the general tone of
the country press is getting to be
very conservative in the matter of
candidates and factional differences
Most of those who have particular
preference for one or more candi-
dates are contenting themselves
with sounding the praises of the
preferred and are letting the other
fellow alone. A very large part of
the state press as yet are not say
ing much about any candidates.
1t begins to look as though the re-
publican press had begun to see
where the "forks of the road" lead.
