Senator Hansbrough has been
serving North Dakota a good many
years. The newswape rs have
chronicled his achievements daily,
weekly and monthly, and the peo-
ple know what he has done. His
enemies have made statements
against him, but the people have
sent him back to Washington a
number of times. A number OF
the newspapers in the state who
for years were his staunch sup

Hansborough the Logical Man,

1t IS becoming more and more
apparent that the logical choice of
the republicans Of the state for
senator is Hon. II. G. Hansbrough
His service aud standing in the
nation is such as to give him more
influence that any new man that
could be selected. What is most
desired at this time is man that
is free from corporate influence
and who can do the most for the
nation and particularly for North
Dakota and its people. 1t is time
now that factionalism be laid away
and the people be given chance
to make selection regardless of
factions and past political align
ments. The sentiment is very
strong against the corporate inter-
ests as represented by Mckenzie
and his cohorts. Mr.. Hansbrough
is in direct opposition to this class
as is evidenced by his action in the
opposition to the International
Harvester Co., and other kindred
interests, and a good mark of his
standing in this regard is the op-
position that is being waged
against Mr.. Hansbrough by Nc
Kenzie's lieutenants. The presi-
dental campaign is having a tend
ancy to unit the republican party
all over the nation and North Da-
kota is not a whit behind in this
regard. Along with this comes the
selection of a candidate for Sena-
tor who will best represent the peo-
pie of the state and who will give
North Dakota the best representa-
ton in the senate. That man is
Mr.. Hansbrough, and the majority
of the people know it. The prim-
ary election makes it certainty
that the people shall have the en-
tire selection of their candidates
and it comes to this selection they
are going to take into considera-
ton the man who has done the
most for them and who can do best
for them in the future. When
this is the consideration, Mr..
Hansbrough is so much more to
be desired that there is no reason
why he should not be the easy
winner of the contest for U. S.
senator. Devils Lake Inter. Ocean
