ness conditions are sound. Money is
plentiful. Development is rapid. The
best friends of North Dakota people
could wish for them no more abundant
prosperity than they enjoy today 1t
is well to remember that those who are
attacking Senator McCumber are poll
ticians with axes to grind. No charge
has been made against him, except by
candidate for his office or by news
paper that is supporting candidates for
offices who are opposed to him. 1t
is well to remember that Mr. Mar
shall, who is inveighing loudly against
him. never voted against Mr.. Cannon
and never sought to, so far as we have
been able to learn, remove or relieve
any of the burdens he claims the peo-
pie of this state have been staggering
under-until he became candidate for
the senate-and like other candidates,
Just before election ne is as good as
he can be-" Mr.. Gronna voted for the
house tariff bill and defended it in
speech-and the house bill was far
worse than the bill as finally passed by
the two houses, If the claim Of the in
surgents themselves are to be given
credence. Senator McCumber has fol-
lowed a clearheaded consistent and
statesmanlike course, has done for the
people Of this state and their interests
everything that it was possible to do,
and he deserves the loyal support and
vote Of the thinking people of the state.

sound republicans in control.
Buffalo Express: Congressman L. B.
Hanna had been in hopes that he might
get back to North Dakota in time 10
have gotten around over the state, met
the people and to have looked after his
political matters to some extent at
least, but congress is continuing in ses-
sion very late and his duties will keep
him in Washington for two weeks
longer.
Mr.. Hanna is trying his best to rep
resent the people of North Dakota
right. He is on the agricultural COM
nittee, the most important COMMITTEES
as it relaIos to the interest of our
state, of any committee that he could
possibly be on. Every matter that has
been sent to him to be looked after and
every letter that has been written to
him, has been taken care of and an
swered promptly.
The people of North Dakota certainly
appreciate the efforts of Mr.. Hanna.
who is neglecting all Of his personal
affairs in order that he may devote
his whole time to the welfare of the
people of his own state.
Scranton Register: George H. Stone.
of Mott, N D., was in Scranton last
week while making a trip through this
part of the country looking after his
political interests. Mr.. Stone is a can
didate for the republican nomination
for insurance commissioner and with
out doubt Is well qualified to fill the
office he seeks. Mr. Stone came from
jamestown to Mott four years ago and
has been prominently identified with
the upbuilding and growth OF Hettin-
ger county. He has been states at
| torney of Hettinger county four years
and has been actively engaged in the
INSURANCE business in connection with
his other business.

state oce and Mr.. Stone, who has
always been a republican, should re-
ceive an almost solid vote of the slope.
Beach Chronicle: Congressman
Hanna's bill authorizing the sale OF
surplus land in the Fort Berthold IN
dian reservation in North Dakota re-
Gently passed the senate and will go
ITO the president for his signature
When Mr.. Hanna goes after anything
he generally lands it, which shows that
i he has influence at the national capital.
He has also secured the official model
of the battleship North Dakota to be
exhibited at the state fair at Fargo. 1t
is the exact duplicate of the biggest
battleship afioat and those who have
never seen real man-of-war will have
that opportunity at the state fair. The
model lis eleven feet long and will be a
star attraction OF the state fair this
year.
Garrison Independent: The an
nouncement of l.. b. Hanna for re-
| election to congress appears in this is
sue. Mr.. Hanna has been a faithful
servant Of the people Of this state in
congress, and has always had the wei
fare Of the state at large at heart. We
believe the people will make no mis-
take by voting for him at the coming
primaries.
Minot Optic: Joe Purcell. the trav-
cling mems candidate for railroad com
missioner, will receive a heavy vote in
this part Of the state.
