Kenmare Journal: The republican
party of North Dakota is today looking
over the large assortment Of political
timber with a view of selecting a
winning candidate for governor
Four years ago there was q con-
dition OF unrest and dissatisfaction in
the Political b0siy Of the state 1t
was the completion of one of those
eras, political cycles, or whatever it
may be termed, when the people want
a ehange-they know not why-but
they want it-and generally get It,
For span of years, covering several
administrations. the republicans had
been in power, and as natural con-
sequence when the time came for a
a democrat was elected-and re- elect
ed; this in state with an overwhelm-
ing republican majority.
1t is now only natural to assume
that conditions are approaching theinr
normal state and the republicans will
return to power next year.
After suffering two defeats it fol-
lows that the party leaders should be
and will be-careful in selecting
their gubernatorial candidate. In so
doing they should choose a man of
good executive ability; a prudent, con-
sentative business man; a man with a
personality to lend dignity to the Of
flee and a constancy of purpose which
will carry him through the trials of
the governors Office without swerv-
ing him from his constituents Men
of this calibre. and who can afford
to devote their time to the Office, are
scarce.
There is man in the central part
of this state, however, who acquires
all these attachments. and who has
never pushed himself to the fore Of the
political field. Notwithstanding the fact
that opportunities have been excel
lent for him to do so--and this per-
son is Thomas L. Beiseker, of Fes-
sender.
But few persons in this state
know Tom Beiseker--As he Is COM
monty called-better or more inti-
mately than the writer, and we say
without fear OF contradiction IL hi
should be elected to this honorable
position, Tom Beiseksr would be gov
|ernor-and no others need offer assist
ance. He would run the Office as he
thought best and as he thought would
best serve the people. The only trou-
BILE with Beiseker would be-the poll
iticians and corporations couldn't
handle him for one minute.
The Journal would like to see Mr..
Beiseker tried out, and feels con-
|fldent that he would give them bus
mess mans administration which
would put a crimp In some and take
the crimp out OF others.
The Fessenden Free Press, pub
|lished in Mr.. Beiseker's home town
says:
We note by some Of our exchanges
that r. l.. B@iseker of Fessenden is
being mentioned as candidate for
governor These announcements COM
ing from outside OF his home town
mean much and indicate that the we'll
known Fessenden man Is even better
known and more popular throughout
the state than local people realize.
We do not know whether Mr. Beiseker
would think OF becoming q candidate
|or not, but Ii he could be induced
to make the run. he would make q
strong candidate He liz wealthy
enough to be Independent and would
be free from any Of those influences
that are q temptation to man Of
small means. FIis views on public
questions are decided and he takes an
active interest upon every public Issue.
Wells county has never asked or re-
ceived much la the way OF state of
fices and the county Il entitled 70
recognition.
