North Dakota Political Gossip

Adams Budget: In another column
will be found the announcement of
Congressman L. b. Hanna as a csndi-
date for the republican nomination to
succeed himself Mr.. Hanna needs no
introduction to the people of this state.
He has been a citizen of our common
wealth for more than thirty years last
past. He served the people in var
ious public capacities before being
elected to congress two years ago. He
is a most affable gentleman of edu-
cation and culture, and thoroughly in
sympathy with the people and their
needs and especially the needs of North
Dakota. He is a republican by inher-
itance and believes firmly in the funda-
mental principles of the republican
party. He belongs to that type of
statesmen which is far too rare in this
country, a type which believe that .
half loaf is better than no bread and
if it be impossible to secure all that is
desired either for the people of the
state or the nation at large, that it is
better to accept whatever vantage
ground that may achieved and strive
for more rather than to reject por-
ton because the full measure of de-
sire cannot 7be obtained This was his
course in accepting the present tariff
law, Notwithstanding Mr.. Hanna was
in thorough accord with downward re-
vision all along the line.
Mr. Hanna during his short service
in the national legislature has demon
strated that he is safe nd sane on all
questions of public import, and his con-
duct. thus far, has demonstrated that
his motto is-the greatest good for ALL
With such a representative in congress
North Dakota need have little concern
that it's interests will be neglected, and
that the people can be assured that at
all times Mr.. Hanna will be wltchful
to safe guard whatever will be most
promotive of the public good. The
Budget predicts the denomination and
reelection of Mr.. Hanna as his own
successor. He we'll deserves the APP
prevail of the people of North Dakota
Bismarck Tribune: We do not as a
rule look for Interior or sinister mean
ings in editorial articles, but in view
of the oft repeated claims to republic
canism of some of our insurgent breth-
rem of the press we think the following
paragraph from The Grand Forks Her
aid is worthy of note:
The Herald does not expect Governor
Burke to be elected this year. 1t en-
tertains no doubt of the nomination Of
Mr.. Buchanan at the primary election
as the republican candidate, and if he
is nominated, the republicans will have
no need to go out of their own party
for governor who is all that a COVER
nor should be.
We note the Herald's statement that
IF HE (BUCHANAN) is NOMINAT-
ED" there will be no need to go OUT
side the republican party for COVER
nor who is fit. Conversely, if Mr.. Bu-
chanan is not nominated, there will be
need for republicans to go outside their
party for governor who is worthy.
This is The Herald's view of republi-
canism. it would seem, unless we fail
to read The Herald's article Alright, and
is so, we shall be glad to be corrected.
If the republican voters of this state
do not chose Mr. Buchanan as their
standard bearer, will The Herald abide
by the decision of the voters at the
primary or will it set its Judgment
