Beach Chronicle: The Fargo News
the leading democrat insurgent paper
in the state, says President Taft wants
men elected to both branches Of con-
gress of the same stamp as McCumber
We take this as a fine recommendation
for McCumber, but of course The News
Is opposed to Taft and his administra-
ton, In fact, all the democratic and
insurgent papers are joining hands in
attacking McCumber in particular and
the administration in general, but we
| do not believe they are injuring Nc
| Cumber any in stating that he is the
stamp of man that President Taft adj
mires as legislator. We also believe
the people of North Dakota are salts
| fed with Mr.. Taft's administration and
| Mr.. McCumbers efforts in behalf of
the people in the United States senate
| There is no uestion but that Senator
| McCumber is close to President Taft
and his administration. If more men
| like McCumber were at the national
| capital, President Taft would probably
| have more success in getting congress
to pass laws that the people want.
There is one thing sure, if there were
more men like McCumber at Washing
| ton, we would have national inspection
of grain, which would mean thousands
of dollars to the farmers of the golden
valley alone, to say nothing of what
it would mean to the entire northwest.
The Saturday Evening Post, the great
est weekly magazine in the country,
which is making a fight against cor
rupt legislation and legislators, spoke
very highly of Senator McCumber's
federal inspection bill, and anyone who
has the grain growers interests at
heart cannot speak otherwise of it. In
Senator McCumber the farmers of the
entire northwest, not North Dakota
alone, have an able and earnest worker.
Although he has become national fig
ure, he cannot accomplish everything
in a minute, especially when all the
great milling and commission concerns
of the country are fighting him. They
are interesting themselves in beating
him for reelection and in this way his
grain inspection bill, which they OPP
pose, will become a dead issue instead
of live one, which it is at present.
Tons of literature are now being sent
broadcast to the voters all over the
state in an effort to discredit him and
in this way accomplish his defeat. If
the farmers want federal inspection of
grain it is now up to them to give Sen
ator McCumber every possible support
and see to it that he is renominated
at the primaries this month and re-
elected next fall. The senator is just
recovering from serious illness and
it is not possible for him to look after

the fact that his opponent Tom Mar
shall, and Marshall associates are food
ing the state with money to accomplish
his defeat, should awaken every voter
to his duty of going to the polls June 20
and casting his vote for the greatest
and most sincere political worker North
Dakota has ever had-P. J. McCumber.
