The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-05-30

Bismarck Tribune: A correspondent
! of the Grand Forks Herald--one of
those convenient correspondents who
writes what the Herald wants to have
written--has something to say with re-
spect to Congressman Hanna, and says
the people of this state are disappoint-
ed because MIR. Hanna did not in
surge against the Taft administration
and raise a disturbance generally in
congress. We don't believe the people
of the state expected or desired any
thing of this sort Mr. Hanna was Sc
lected as republican and he has sup
ported the administration of President
Taft. To have done anything else
would merely have been traitorous to
the administration for which and with
which he was selected. He supported
and worked for measures in the inter-
est of the farmers of this state. He is
a conscientious, hard working bust
ness man-such a man as the people
of this state are fortunate to have in
congress. Mr.. Hanna's business quail
fications are eXceptional-he is rated
as one of the ablest bankers and bust
ness men of North Dakota. His serv-
ices are valuable to the people of North
Dakota and they are fortunate in being
able to command them. His work in
the departments for the people of
North Dakota has been assiduous and
energetic He has not f1ared up with
fiamboyant speeches. Flamboyant
speeches are not what the people of
this state want. They want some hard
worker who looks to the development
of North Dakota and the prosperity of
its people. Mr. Hanna's work in the
matter of the Fort Berthold reservation
alone will add thousands of settlers
and millions of dollars worth of prop
erty to the state. So far as the tariff
bill is concerned, Mr.. Hanna worked
for 1t in the house, in the interests of
the people of this state. So did Mr.
Gronna-and Mr. Gronna defended the
house bill in a speech that has been
published in the congressional record
Subsequently Mr. Gronna voted against
a much better bin than the house bill
Mr.. Hanna stood with the administra-
ton, and the results to this state have
proven the wisdom of his course. Mr.
Hcnna's experience during his term
in congress is valuable to the state.
His business qualifications are a state
didates for his office are against him.
The solid, sensible, progressive people
of North Dakota, who want to see the
state develop and prosper. are for him
and will be for him. He should be
and he will be renominated and re-
elected, His chief opponent of the
press is The Herald at Grand Forks
which believes in free wheat free agri-
cultural products and insurgency.
Casselton News: During the past
few weeks the jingos and insurgents
have been. venting their ire upon Sen.
McCumber and the tariff bill recently
enacted. They charge that in many
instances. McCumber voted with AL
drich and others for certain sections of
the bill. Then in general way they
assert that the bin itself was made for
the Interests and what they call big
Business" Their assertions are so in
definite that it is difficult to find any
specific point wherein they can make
their arguments stick.
Taking it for granted that McCum-
Der did vote with several other sem
ators "a majority, if you please-does
