WHERE HANsBRoUoH STANDS

There had been some doubt
cast on the attitude of former
Senator Hansbrough on the re-
publican ticket in this state. He
wrote the following letter to
Major Hamilton, which should re-
move all doubt as to his position:
Minneapolis, Mimi, May II, 1910.
Major j. G. Hamilton. Fargo, N.
ID. My Dear Major: Word comes
to me that there is some doubt In
certain directions in regard to my
preference of candidates in the
pending North. Dakota campaign.
To those who express such doubt,
1 authorize you to say that IL I
personally had the naming OF men
to I'LL the offices that are now
being contended for, possibly /
might make, in a few instances,
different selections. Nevertheless,
/ shall cast my vote for those
who are now understood to be the
candidates of the regular republi-
can party, as distinguished from
the irregular and outlawed COM
bination mysteriously effected at
Valley City several months ago.
take this position in the firm
conviction that Notwithstanding
their announced pretentions. l do
not believe the ambitious and self
seeking politicians constituting
the irregular ticket represent re-
publican party principles. On the
contrary, they are, in my judg-
ment, a collection of party disrup-
tionists and assistant democrats.
Sincerely,
(Signed) HI. G. Hansbrough.

time fifteen miles out over the lake
sailing at rate of about twenty miles
