Little Has Inside Track.

Kuhn Messenger: 1t appears to the
Messenger that Col. c. B. Little, OF
Bismarck, has the inside track among
the several candidates for the United
States senatorship. The Messenger
does not know very much about the
local sentiment regarding the senator
ship in the different counties of the
state, and has not taken very active
interest in the discussion of the merits
of the several candidates. However.
of late it is noticed that the different
candidates are all directing their fight
against Mr.. Little. These men have
kept themselves posted as to the local
sentiment Of the different counties of
the state, and the very fact that they
are devoting their time to putting up
a fight against Mr.. Little is proof
sufficient that they regard him as the
man with whom they will have to cal
when the votes are counted at the
primary election. Mr.. Little is seem
ingly a strong man all over the state,
and the other candidates realize that
he has a large following which they
would like to reduce if it were possible
to do so. In political contest of this
kind, when all the candidates open
fire on one particular candidate, it is
almost always conclusive evidence
that that particular candidate is the
most popular with the people. The
events of the past. few weeks leads the
Messenger to believe that such i the
case in this instance. ~ 'ss

Political Comment
Credit to Congressman Gronna.

Credit to Congressman Gronna.
The Scandinavian, the leading news
paper of the Scandinavians of the
United States, gives Congressman
Gronna the credit he deserves for his
good work in enacting legislation ia
|vorable to the homesteaders.
No man in the state appreciates
better the sturdy worth of the po-
neer settlers than Congressman Gron-
ma and no member Of congress has
been more loyal to the interest Of his
constituents. He has remained in
congress during all the time measures
were pending of interest to the state
and he has been heard on the floor
IN favor of all measures benefitting the
people Of the state. A shrewd bust
ness man, a loyal Republican. a con
sistent party man and an upright and
creditable representative Of the Scan
dinavian people, there is no man in
the state a worthier candidate for
Office than Mr.. Gronna and he will
have a splendid following at the pri-
maries.
In addition to his good work for
the homesteaders OF the state, Mr.
Gronna has a splendid record as a
member Of congress in his efforts in
behalf of the farmers. He has stood
for increased rural mail facilities, for
better protection of bank deposits, and
has been numbered among the alert,
energetic and valuable members Of
Congress-.

ljttle's Friends ausy.

Mandan independent: The friends
Of Col. Little are getting busy--even
invading the east part of the state
which some of the other fellows seem
to think they had fenced up and a
paddock on the gate.
ihe popularity OF Col. Titles can
didacy for the U. S. senate is not con-
fined to the western portions of the
state by any means. Thousands of
people in the central and eastern por-
tions of the state are quite as we'll ac-
quainted with his peculiar fitness for
the senate as are those who have been
more intimately associated with him.
Col. Little has been one of the most
potent factors in business and in poll
tics in North Dakota since statehood.
He has been success in politics and
in business and the people like man
who is success. Life is too short
and the crowd to pick too numerous
to fool with dead ones This is an
era of doing things. Col. Little is of
that stripe. He is active. His legis-
lative career in this state has given
him an experience that will prove of
great benefit to himself and value to
the state in the higher body at Wash
lngton. He is recognized as one of
the best parliamentarians in the state
and his acquaintance with legislative
procedure has given him confidence and
power IN any gathering, political or
legislative. Loyal to his state and it's
people, honest and fearless, an edu-
Gated, cultured and courteous gentle.
man, Col. Little is splendid type of
American citizenship for the United
States senate-Tribune

man elected to preside over the con
vention, was not a bowling success, as
those who elected him believed that
he would be. Whether it was because
he did not know any better, or because
he was simply used to that, way OF
doing, and could not preside any bet
ter if he had SO desired, we are at a
loss to say, but to our way of thinking
he was a dismal failure as a manrto
preside over body Of men. >'@.
True, Lockerby was elected by the
stalwarts, but there isn't stalWart
who was satisfied with the manner in
which he carried things out. True the
stalwarts were 26. in the majority, and
you might say had everything their
own way, but the minority should have
been respected and the delegates
should have been given an opportunity
to vote by roll call on the various
propositions. The results would prob
ably rot have been any different, but
there would have been better feeling
all round AS it is, the stalwarts as
rule do not have much good to say
regarding the chairman.
Lockerby met with general diss ats
faction on the part of both the stall
warts and the insurgents, and as he
was uninstructed, the blame can hard.
ly be attached to anyone but Mr.
Lockerby himself.
True this was a time when men be.
came excited and did things that they
would not have done under ordinary
conditions, but the Independent stands
for fair and a square deal at all
times, and especially when the chair
knows that he has the majority with
him.
The delegates came to Minot to vote
for set of delegates to be sent to
the state convention, and one cannot
blame them for being sore at Mr..
Lockerby for using them in the way
that he did.
