REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
SAYS THERE is NOW NO REASON
WHY FACTIONS CANNOT
UNITE
is PLEASED WITH THE RESULT
OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION
IN STATE
TELLS OF FINE IMPRESSION
MADE BY SENATOR PURCELL
IN CAPITAL

Minneapolis. Mimi, July 9.-United
States Senator Porter J. McCumbel
of North Dakota and his private sec
rotary, Robert Farr,r, arrived in Min
neapolis today from Washington and
will be in the city several days before
proceeding westward. The senator is
rapidly recovering from the effects OF
an operation and long sickness at the
capital, and will further recuperate in
the lake district near Deroit, Mimi
He plans to spend two weeks at Lake
Melissa before returning to his home
at Wahpeton.
81 am feeling first rate and have a
good appetite and have regained part
of my old-time strength" he Said to-
day. my sickness kept me from my
desk in the senate from April until
the first of the present month. Sew.
eral operations had to be performed
and l lost forty-tive pounds in weight.
/ am told by my friends that l was
a very sick man.
'In common with the republicans
of my state, 1 feel well satisfied with
the results of the primary election OF
June goth. The Endorsement OF my
record in the senate is, of course, par
ticularly gratifying. had hoped to
be in the thick of the campaign, but
my illness prevented this.
Factions Equally Interested
There is no reason in the world
why the republicans of North Dakota
cannot now get together and elect
their ticket from top to bottom. The
nominations are made and are ABOUT
equally divided between the factions.
The progressives are as much inter-
ested in the success of the ticket as
are the stalwarts. Both sides to the
recent fight can with good grace lay
aside all past differences and pull
strong for success in November. /
will take the stump in the final weeks
of the campaign and will do what
can to spread the gospel of harmony.
II believe we will elect Mr.. John
son, our candidate for governor, over
Governor John Burke. Much of the
opposition which developed to john
son two years ago has disappeared.
Then he was handicapped by bitter
county division contest at home and
really lost his fight because of it. This
contest is now out of the way and the
ghost of it will not even reappear
the coming election The second-ter-n
appeal for Governor Burke carried
weight two years ago. Many repub
licans voted for him on that account.
A third term will not appeal to the
voters. l feel confident that G. A.
Johnson will be the next governor OF
North Dakota.
Tribute to President
"The work of congress will mate
rally aid us in our fight in North Da-
kota. In a single session we have
done magnificent work in carrying out
the pledges of the party. What was
done, too, was due in large part to the
determined stand and splendid states
manship of President Taft. We have
made a good beginning and have
strengthened the republican cause all
over the union. The work thus aus
piciously begun will be carried out
to the letter by co'@"ess and the
president.
Senator Purcell, my townsman and
colleague in the senate, has made a
fine impression at Washington. While
we differ on the fundamentals of poll
tics, we have worked in absolute har.
mony for the interests of our state
and whatever has been accomplished
renresentS our Joint efforts"
