Mimic Journal: Senator McCumber
is North Dakota's ablest statesman,
beyond doubt More than that, during
his term Of Office he has so mastered
the game that he stands in the front
rank with the ablest legislators in
the q. S. senate. The only criticism
Iof his official acts are that he voted
for the tariff, which though il did
not suit him altogether, he considered
the best that could be had and STAYED
with the majority of the admins
tration in support of certain princi-
pies and measures which good many
OF his constitutnts do not agree with.
Glendale Leader: Tom Marshall,
according to the state press, seems to

What was it Tom did d. in congress?

others of that crowd to build them
selves up by tearing down and belit-.

gents. They are not only attacking
individuals, but the entire republican
party, and it is sure dirty bird that
will deliberately befoul it's own nest.
Men who will spend so much money

Der, who is still confined to sick bed.
Thy several Of his bitterest enemies
who have set out to get his seat by
the most questionable nejthods and
who are scattering literature broad

the senior senator from North Da-

claim that McCumber was to blame
for the hzzle of Halley's comet and a
hundred and one other absurd things
Because McCumber cannot be on the
ground to ably and properly defend
himself, his opponents are having the
time of their lives. In doing so, how
ever, they are certainly debauching the
Intelligence Of the people Of this state
to the very extreme.
Mott Pioneer: Congressman Han

June primaries. He has done more
for our state comparatively than any
other congressman ever sent to Wash
ington. He is the most popular man
in the state today and will be renomi-
ated with a large majority. Vote for
IL. B. Hanna for congress.
