North Dakota Political Gossip


Senator McCumber has done as
much at Washington for the up
lifting of the American farmer and
as much for his state as any other
man that ever represented this
state at he capitol His term has about
expired and the people will have a
chance to send him back to Washing
ton this year. He has been in the
position long enough to be recognized
with the greatest respect by his coll
leagues. He has been true to the trust
imposed in him. He has gained favor
at home and abroad and should be re-
turned.
Probably no other man in the poll
teal arena in our state today is meet
ing with as much favor in the eyes of
the people than Congressman L. B.
Hanna He is serving his first term
in the house and is before the people
asking for reelection. One thing we
admire about Congressman Hanna, he
is a republican. Everywhere you
hear Of him, he is spoken of as a man
of the people. He is doing a lot for
our state today and the people cannot
make error In showing their apprecia-
ton for the efforts he has made, by
giving him the ''unheard of vote. 1t
is predicted he will be elected by the
| largest majority ever given to a can
didate for Office in this state.
Today we also have Congressman
A. ]. Gronna, now in the house, one
of the most conservative congressman
ever sent from this state.
Mr.. Gronna is now aspiring to the
short term for United States senator
The Office is now being held by demo-
GRAFT under appointment from the govr
ernor. During Congressman Gronna's
term Of office he has introduced some
very important bills which have be-
come laws, beneficial to our state. To-
day he has a bin before the house
known as the second homestead bill
which has already passed the senate
and IL 1t becomes a law, as we believe
dit will, hundreds of homesteaders will
derive great benefit, and also those
who lost their land or abandoned
same. Mr.. Gronna is truely known at
Washington as man very dear to
the people of his state and is always
to be found working for those inter
ests that will aid in the progression
and upbuilding of North Dakota.
Rock Lake RippIes: The announce
ment Of Judge Edward Engerud of
Fargo appears in this issue of The
Ripples. The Judge informs us that
ne expects to make vigorous cam
paign, when he will have a chance to
meet the voters face to face, and tell
them of what he intends doing IL sent
~
man and has some advanced ideas con-
corning legislation which will probably
prove an eye opener to those who are
fortunate enough to hear him speak.
Both he and Senator McCumber will
stump the state, and if not then the
voters can tell the reason why. Two
senators are to be elected, and the re-
publican party will trot these two men
out as the best timber 1t has got for
the places mentioned 1t will soon be
up 20 the people to make their choice
between them and Marshall and Gron-
ma, who are out for the same office.
Rock Lake Ripples: Congressman
l.. B. Hanna favors The Ripples with
his announcement for reelection this
week. Also his picture appears with
the announcement, and when many of
our readers see dt they will recognize
their friend and representative in con-
gress who is living up to his obliga-
lions to his constituency. AS every
one knows, Mr.. Hanna has tried to do
his whole duty snce he has been up to
Washington and he confidently asks
the courtesy Of the. second term, which
no doubt will be forthcoming We hope
so at least, as we believe 1T win bel
hard for the people to better them
selves BY changing horses at this time.
Perth Progress: The COMMITTEES OF
Turtle Mountain Indians, who have
been in Washington the past six weeks
returned the first Of the week and
passed through Perth on their way to-
their homes. They report that through
the activity Of Representative u. b.
Hanna, they were successful In their
mission, and they return home wen
pleased.
