The prediction made that Mckenzie

1t had been my intention to take
part in the primary campaign and
discuss fully every political question
pertaining to the interests of the
state of North Dakota and the country
at large. But an illness overlook me
which required two surgical opera
lions and which has kept me confined
to my bed for the past eight weeks.
For the past two weeks have been
slowly improving, but it is absolutely
impossible for me to get to the state
and take my part in the primary cam
paign. Therefore, I am obliged to
leave my candidacy in the hands OF
the people of the state, and shall
abide by their verdict.
Thanking you for the honor which
you have conferred upon me and for
what you have done for me in the
past. and trusting that I may have
your support in the coming campaign,
I beg to remain,
Very sincerely yours,

PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.

! Madison, Wis, June 19.-La Fol
lettes magazine for this week says:
In the roll call last week we com
mended North Dakota upon the abil.
| ity and faithfulness to public inter
ests OF its representation in the per-
son of Hon. AISLE j. Gronna in the
house of representatives. It has since
been suggested that this Endorsement
should be qualified, so far as North
Dakota is concerned, because Of the
Misrepresentation Of that state in the
house in person of Hon. Louis B.
Hanna. ~. -
This is Mr.. Hanna's first term in
congress. He has lost no time IN
lining up for the system. On roll call
after roll call his votes for special
interests have Offset those cast by
Gronna for public interests. Thus
en- nearly every important vote the
representation of North Dakota in
the house has been practically null
fed.
On the first day Of Hannas term,
when Gronna voted with the progress
sives against the re-adoption OF the
Cannon rules, Hanna voted with the
house machine in favor of their re-
adoption.
When Gronna voted in favor OF the
Clark resolution for a reform OF the
rules, Hanna, when his name was
called, voted against the resolution.
When Gronna voted against the
FITZGERALD resolution, designed to de-
feat real reform Of the house rules
Hanna followed with vote in sup
port Of that resolution. "
Gronna voted against the Payne
Cannon, Aldrich upword tariff revl-
sion; Hanna voted for It. ga.
Gronna voted against Empowering
Sneaker Cannon to pack the Balm
ger-Pinchot investigating committee
for the interests; Hanna voted to
give Cannon that power. .. r=
In the great insurgent battle OF the
nreseut session, in which the tnsur-
gents forced the adoption of the Nor
ria resolution creating a new rules
committee elective by the house ana
otstinx the speaker, Gronna was one

the progressive cause, for the over
throw of machine domination, and TO
oust Cannon from the speakershAp.
Hanna was one OF those who support
81 the machine on every roll call ana
voted at every opportunity, early and
often, for Cannon, Cannonism and the
system.

rotary Norton that not one of the call
ers knew anything of the incident I'M
til Representative Harrison returned
to the Capitol and there made state
ment to the effect that he had been re-

Mr.. Taft based his refusal to see
Mr.. Harrison on statements attributed
by newspapers to the representative
in connection with his resolution In
the house calling upon Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham for full information
as to the connection of his office with
the Ballingtr-Pinchot episode. Mr..

The New Railroad

Editor Reporter and Farmer:
took short trip up into North
Dakota last week in company with
Capt. Myrn in the interests of the new
railroad We found a very practicable
route, and the road bids fair to accom-
odate large number of people, for |
hear it is going through Webster and
north to Roslyn; also in Waubay they
tell me it is going through Waubay and
north to Granville, so you see the road
will be twelve miles wide. Then it
runs to point at Frank, and after that
it will be the customary width.

not as good as in Day county. 1t is

But the trees seem to have been less

Simmons Did Good Work

The stalwart republicans of South
Dakota owe a debt of gratitude to State
Chairman John c. Simmons, of Aber-
deem for his faithful and effective work
during the primary campaign just closed
The stalwarts made the fight on nom
personal issues against faction en-
trenched in office. The fact that the
stalwarts have captured two state
offices more than they possessed before,
and renominated every man they placed
in office two years ago, shows the result
of Mr.. Simmons untiring effort and
the tremendous enthusiasm which he
brought to the task.
With the assistance of Secretary T..
B. Roberts, Chairman Simmons took up
the work of the campaign at time
when many of the prominent men in
the stalwart ranks felt it would be folly
to wage contest for stalwart princi-
Piles this year, and it was not very long
until the ranks of General Apathy were
thinned by the onmarching hosts CT

were shown in the stalwart gains in the
