GRONNA HAS TO
Fight AT HOME

Neville, N, d, June 25.-To The
Forum: North Dakota is on the eve
of primary election and on Wednesday,
June 2s, the citizens of this great re-
publican state will have an opportuni
ty to make their choice for two United
states senators, two congressman and
the republican ticket in full from the
governor down to the county commits
| sioners
There are two factions in the re-
publican rank and are designated as
the progressive and regular repubI-
can tickets. The progressives, with
the two leading healers, are claiming
to be following the doctrine OF the
insurgents Of two years ago, however,
/ If you will recall that campaign and
election, you will remember that one
OF these two progressive healers was
among the strongest staIwart leaders
of North Dakota and has simply taken
the cloak of progressivism in order
that he may gain his ambition-the
nomination and election to the United
States senate regardless of the people
and their views.
Both Gronna and Marshall are is
suing all kinds Of literature Of unkind
and unreliable nature to injure worthy
men who have remained at Washing
ton laboring for the good of North
Dakota citizens instead of leaving
their posts and being present to fight
for their personal interests as well
as for their future election. This is
where Mr.. Gronna, who is trying TO
make out what a wonderful amount of
good he has done and is doing for the
people Of this state, should be instead
Of dropping some of the most import
ant legislation Of the session, taking
his hat and saying that the bills viii
take care of themselves. ct have more
important work of my own at home"
This one move has lost many votes
for him and the manner in which he
and his colleague, Tom Marshall, are
attacking Senator McCumber, who is
unable to be here to fight these mali
cious attacks, and Congressman Han
ma, who refused to leave his duties at |
Washington, have certainly not aided |
these two so-called progressive lead
ers in their chances for nomination
next week. When the polls are clos
ed and the ballots counted on wednes-
day next, it will plainly be seen how
the people of North Dakota regard |
Messrs. McCumber and Hanna and |
Hanna and their work for this state
for they will be renominated by votes !
to spare.
Mn McCumber's running mate is |
Judge Edward Engerud of Fargo, and |
Is man of judicial ability, a fair
minded man of experience and in posi-
ton to represent our people in the
United States senate with honor TO
this great state and his constituents.
A vote for Mr.. Engerud is a vote for
the people.
The people and press are unani-
for L. B. Hanna for congress
and little more can be said of his fine
qualities as q man and his praise
worthy craftsmanship in his labor for
he welfare of this people at Washing
.on than has already been commend
I'd upon by the 400 papers in this
state. His denomination is an assured
act
Nelson county is the home of Con-
gressman Gronna and he is working
every avenue possible to carry his
home county together with the state.
Two years ago this county was neutral
o Gronna and gave him a fairly good
majority, but this campaign finds a
lifferent aspect to the situation and
learly the entire county is fighting
lis nomination for the senate. Last
lection he had nearly the whole seven
oapers of this county supporting him
While this campaign finds Ave against
IL |
apers at his command. It is a bitter
light even though he is a home man,
nd surely there must be some very
trong reasons for this antagonis tic
ceiling. There are, and they are very
known to the voters of Nell
on county. Every indication at this
writing, points to the downfall of
ironna in Nelson county at the COM
ng primaries ..rm-
A very warm contest is being waged
\ this county also for the two tickets
rom governor down, there being
ractically a full ticket for all offices
own to the county commissioners
he regular republican state ticket
yill receive the support of this county
izing up the present feeling and stu
ton.
This county Is the seventeenth dis
riot and will nominate two state
representatives., the senator, J. G.
of Aneta holding over un-
ii next election. There are four
andidates out for representatives,
amely: e. G. DISCARD. Neville; Frank
Lakota; Robert Gardiner,
lara township, and Harris Oakland,
Teshienl township. 1t is a conceded
act that DISCARD will be nominated
ands down, with Goldhammer second
nd Gardiner third. OAKLAND following
tst in the race. Messrs. DISCARD and
are supporters of Nc
lumber Engerud and Hanna and will
lake a fine showing for the ticket.
