that this should be the case.
Mr. Little is business man of ex-
perience, legislator who has served
In the state senate since statehood,
and has always been consistent and
vigorous supporter of all things for
the interest of the whole state. He
has lived in North Dakota for more
than a quarter of century and in
all that time has never broken prom
Use or thrown down" political or
personal friend. 1t is this kind Of a
man the state needs in the senate
a man who is energetic, capable,
square and loyal to his party and
his people. 1t is this kind Of rec
ord that has returned Mr.. Little to
the state senate from statehood to
the present time and it is this kind
OF record that will elect him to the
senate of the United States.
There is one feature of this cam
Daign that should be of especial in.
terest to the residents of this sec
ton. The geographical distribution
OF the states representatives in con
gress has always made the eastern
representatives top heavy. The west
ern part of the state has not been
represented. This section of the state
Is growing remarkably, and now has

Importance demand that a western

man, thoroughly familiar with the
needs and demands of the western
part of the state, should be one oi
the representatives in the senate. Mr..
Little is the ideal candidate for this
place.
He has wide acquaintance, is an
untiring worker, and loyal and a
square republican. He is not trim.

iples and is willing to stand upon the
platform adopted by the party in tn
state and in the United States The
western part of the state is united
in support of his candidacy and he
has a large following in all parts of
the state, for he is recognized as q
man who Is big enough for the whole
state.
We believe there should be new
blood, new energy, new activity and
new men in the politics Of the state
and we believe the western part OF
the state will contribute its share to
new deal, in which all parts of the
state will be dealt with in absolute
fairness.
Mr.. Little's candidacy appeals to
the republicans OF this section as be.
ing in their best interest and in the
best interest of the whole state. There
will be no jealousies, no disharmony,
no pulling apart in the congressional
delegation IL Mr.. Little is elected. II
will be delegation that will work

Growing Fast

Growing Fast
Wilton News: OF all the political
candidates. budding throughout North
Dakota, that of Col c. B. Little for
the United States senate is rapidly
assuming Taftlike proportions. A
perusal Of the state papers, which in
nearly all instances reflect the views
of their constituents, reveals Col.
Little as a favorite son, for as his
acquaintance widens he is found to be
square and able, and man to be de.
pended upon to do his part in our
state development, and keep North
Dakota to the front. AS the June
primaries approach, it seems to be
Colonel Little against the field, with
the field in the ruck. It does not re-
quire a prophet to name the next
