ULU0L JTLhnlNu UhNIr hlul\
The speaking campaign Of Messrs
Buchanan and Helgeson closed TEN
porarily at jamestown Saturday night
with a political meeting at which ad
dresses were made by number Of
candidates. The jamestown Alert
gives this summary of the address
of Mr.. Buchanan, who is a candidate
for the republican nomination fol
governor, san "insurgent" or ."pro.
gressive" candidates.:
Mr.. Buchanan in the course of his
remarks spoke of the development OF
the western part of the state, espe-
cially, having recently made a trip
west of the Missouri river. He spoke
of the different needs Of the state,
and referred to the possibilities of
the growth of manufacturing enter
prises by the more extended use of
Ignite for heating and power pur-
poses. He stated he had visited the
briquetting plant at Hebron and was
much impressed with the importance
of and great possibilities in the ex-
periments being carried on there, for
the making of Ignite briquettes. The
state has appropriated $4,000 for
such experimental work and the re-
suits are. 50 far, highly satisfactory.
The superintendent of the plant says
that the by-products of Ignite would
nearly pay the cost of the binder.
Among the by-products are ammonia,
gas and coal tar; also that the heat
units derived from Ignite bricks are
equal to the best anthracite. Mr..
Buchanan believed that as soon as
plants are established, that the towns
and cities in the western part Of the
state can be furnished with light,
heat and power. and probably towns
elsewhere in the state. He referred
to the clay beds, the brick and pot |
terry interests and recommended that
the use of North Dakota made brick |
be had in state buildings wherever
possible, to the exclusion Of outside !
brick, by this means promoting an
important industry of our own.
Among the other needs of the state |
the speaker referred to certain tracts |
Of ladn in the Red River valley fire.
quently rendered useless by excessive !
water. Drainage plans having been !
started, he would approve any legis. |
lation that might be deemed proper !
to further the drainage of that por-
ton of the state, and likewise favor |
any feasible aid of assistance to pro-
jects of irrigation that would supply !
water to- portions of the country in
The northwestern part of the state,
believing that the sentiment of the
state should encourage and support
the government work along this line.
Mr.. Buchanan defined, according to
his view, the difference between an
nsurgent and a stalwart in politics.
He thought that certain conditions
throughout the country which had
,een brought about by the develop
nent of corporations, by railroad
by the big trusts,
such as the Standard Oil. and other
trusts, were hostile to the best inter-
'sts Of the people; that these trusts
we're organized for commercial pur-
,oses, that they had taken a part in
>olitics, that the people had neglect
ID to organize in their own interests
md that these new conditions which
lad been gradually growing up need.

He promised If elected governor to
administer the laws fairly and i'm
partially, and to be governor for the
whole people-democrats, socialists,
'talwarts, insurgents and prohibl.
;ionists alike. That he would SAFE
guard all interests, including capital
md labor, employer and employe, and
would give each and all factions Of
he state, as we'll as individuals, a
square deal. He urged the audience
to support the candidates that are
nominated at the primary, which he
called the peoples great convention,
and promised that whoever were the
nominees of that primary election, as
the republican standard bearers, he
would be found working for their sup
port. ''
