North Dakota Political Gossip


Mandan Pioneer: Congressman
Hanna, who is looking after the Man
dan public building bill as we'll as the
interests of North Dakota generally, in
a letter to a Mandan citizen expresses
great desire to get back into North
Dakota and look after his political
fences. However, he writes this party
he is going to stay on the job at Wash
ington, whether he is renominated or
not. His letter has so much OF the
true ring to it that The Pioneer is
pleased to reproduce part of It, He
says among other things: You and
my friends out there may not be aware
of the fact that a public building bill
is always held up until the very last
thing and then it goes through in
hurry. 1t is impossible to get it
through until this railroad matter and
some Of the other so-called admins
tration measures are out of the way.
Now l am going to stay right here on
my job and stay by and see that Man
dan is in that bill, whether l am re-
nominated to congress or not, because
if leave here and it failed to be put
in, would always feel that had been
derelict in my duty and you know we
are never sure of anything in this
world is absolutely in sight
IF the people of the state will let me
stay in congress I believe that l will be
able to show them within a reasona BILE
time that l have their interests at
heart and that / will take care of,
promptly and well, every matter that
| is entrusted to me and will accom-
plish some good for the people of my
state"
The Pioneer believes Mr.. Hanna
need not worry for it seems to be
pretty generally conceded that Han
ma is one of the most Jealous workers
North Dakota has ever sent to con-
gress and have confidence that he is
taking care of the interests OF this
state in a most admirable manner.
| Cavalier Chronicle: Although some
of the insurgent republicans are buck
/ ing against every stalwart who is ur
for any office, not many of them are
making war on Congressman l.. b
Hanna. our present representative in
the house at Washington. Mr. Hanna
is generally acknowledged to be g
clean, upright man, and as a repre-
sentative of the people he is making
good. His past two years experience
| in the house gives him a prestige in
congressional work which will manifest
itself in larger achievement in the
peoples interest during the next two
years than any new inexperienced
man North Dakota could send t.
Washington. The Chronicle supported
the candidacy of Mr.. Hanna two years
ago, because he was an able, clean
honest man and believed he would
make good as the peoples representa-.
tive. We believe he has fulfilled his
duty as efficiently as any other rep
resentative could be expected to dc
in his first term; and now that he has
become acquainted with his colleagues
and learned the ropes that govern 6
successful congressional career, there
is bona fide assurance that the people
of North Dakota will be more efficient.
