ing one of the oldest in service, If not
the oldest, has received more recogni-
tion than others. They may also see
the fallacy of continually sending new
members to congress as that would re-
suit in our state representatives being
Kept at the bottom of the ladder and
less able to secure favorable legisla-
ton. We believe McCumber has done
well, and should be returned to con-
tinue his advance toward the top and
we contend that if returned he will
deliver the goods much better and far
sooner than a new man.
AS for Mr. Hanna, we contend that
the same rule holds good in his case
as in that of Mr. McCumber. He has
proven tireless worker for the in
teres1s of his constituents and espe-
cially so in the interest Of the home
steader We believe the interests of
our state can be best served by return
ing these two tried and trusted men.
Stanley Promoter: We would like to
call the attention of the readers of the
Promoter to the record Of Congress-
man L. B. Hanna, who is candidate
to succeed himself to that office.
Mr.. Hanna is now serving his first
term as member of the house of repre-
sentatives and during this term has
made a record that can hardly be ax-
celled. He has received recognition
that Is seldom accorded a new repre-
sentative and North Dakota has bene-
flied thereby. He is one of the most
active members of the house and car
ries good deal of influence with the
older members
IT is through his efforts that the Fort
Berthold reservation is to be opened,
and the bill which he introduced to
open up the same, has been declared
by the general landoffice to be the
best bill ever introduced with this kind
of legislation His action in the matter
Of securing immediate investigation of
all homesteaders' application for pat
ent and securing the necessary appro-.
priation for the same, is appreciated by
every homesteader in western and
northwestern North Dakota and they
will show their appreciation by the
only way they can, that is in casting
their vote for him and returning him
to congress, where they know their
interests will receive every consider.
alton as long as he is their represent
tative.
His record as congressman will
bear the most searching scrutiny. He
has not only taken advantage of every
opportunity to do all he could for North
Dakota, but has made an enviable rec
ord as a national law maker and we
believe it is to the very best interests
of every citizen of our state TO return
him to congress. He has worked hard
and faithfully for all of u.s. Can we
find a better representative? We think
not.
