the people.
Bismarck Tribune: We have re-
ceived, evidently from the "insurgent
campaign bureau" an envelope stuffed
iloerally with "slush,' attacking SEN
ator McCumber and Congressman
mamma. The character of the material
IS evidently worthy the many waste
baskets to which 1t will no doubt be
consigned. Congressman Hanna is at

ldent Taft and the republican national
administration. He is charged with
Icing partly responsible for the pres

tramp of insurgent hosts in this state.
Afterward he changed his attitude. Mr.
Hanna continued in his uspport of the
administration, and did not seek to
change his base in order that he might
reap profit from what Mr.. Gronna
thought was the voice of the multitude
crying in the wilderness. That is the
main difference between Mr.. Hanna
and Mr.. Gronna.
Senat T, McCumber is charged with
being for the interests and with own

not owning home in North Dakota.
This. is charge entirely worthy the

The campaign documents to which
we refer are typical Of the demagogue
and the office seeker And they are
entirely unworthy any campaign bu-
reau worthy Of the name.
Hankinson News: The political
strength of Senator McCumber grows

people here will give Mr. House a good
audience any day, and hope he will
come again during the campaign
