Dawson Press: The Press man
found Colonel futile at his office
again Monday morning after an abb
sence OF two or three weeks. which he
spent in Chicago and Minneapolis. The
colonePs conversation lis as full OF
epigrans and sirniles as ever. 1t is
pleasure to listen to him talk--thats
what the writer did-lbut one has to
keep his thinking apparatus working
or he will get behind the colonel's
thought and will have to guess at what
he really meant. That's the predica-
ment the writer is in now. For we
took advantage of the opportunity to
ask what he thought OF entering the
race for congress. And we are still
trying to figure out what he meant
by his answer. He smiled and said
he felt battered, than anybody would
consider him qualified for the position.
and Immediately began telling us what
bad effect reciprocity would have on
the price OF the farmers wheat in
North Dakota. Now, while the colonel
may not agree with us, we want to
say right here, that although we are
new in this part of the state and have
not known Mr.. futile more than a
century, we are conceited enough TO
think we know good man when we
see one, and we believe that the farm
ers, and that means everybody, would
do themselves a great kindness by
sending w. F. Tuttle to the nations
| capital to represent them in the lower
house OF congress.
/ We could write all night on this sub
/ ject, but we will mention now only
three OF Mr. Tuttle's qualifications In
the flrst place Mr. Tuttle has enough
of this worlds goods and does not need
to sell out. He isn't built that way
anyway. Secondly he is educated.
Money, education and honesty are
three factors that are seldom found In
one person.
Fargo Blade: Wouldn't the guber-
Il Material candidacy of Hon. L. B. Hanna
have clarifying effect on the political
atmosphere of the state? II so, he Is
the man who should be made the
standard bearer. 1t seems political
| folly that state which Is naturally
overwhelmingly republican, should year
|. after year elect democrats to office
Let's get onto some basis which will
result in republicans voting their par
ty ticket. If there are found, in either
faction Of the party those who persist
In the rule-or- ruin policy--drop them
overheard. The party can well SCI
along without them.
Cooperstown Courier: Cong. H. 3
Hanna is being strongly urged to maxi
fhe race for governor next year. lit II
to be expected that the insurgent VIM
of the party will be against him whil
the regular republicans or stalwart
win undoubtedly be strongly for him
The Courier does not see that 1t make
much difference whether he be an In
surgent or stalwart IL he is satisfactor,
to the larger number OF voters OF hi
party or the people at large. Nh
Hanna has had many years experienc
az a legislator In our state senate
knows what the people need and
nominated and elected governor woul
give the state a good business admin
Isfration. He has made a success Q
his own business and that counts.
Lidgerwood Monitor: The name b
Joseph Devine OF Minot has been men
: toned among the possible candidate
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor next year. Joe was governor fc
q few weeks, succeeding Govenc
. Briggs, who died during the term ff
which he was elected. Hanna woul
be an easy winner with Devine or MI
Ter ais his opponent and could eastl
win out over both OF them
