Walhalla Mountaineer: There is one
man who stands head and shoulders
above all other eligibles for the RS
publican nomination as governor III
the state, and who Ia, at this hour,
the only logical man available who
could be counted upon to carry the
republican party to victory in 1872
and that man Is the Hon. Il. b. Hanna
OF Fargo. at tha present time one OF
the two congressman representing this
state in the lower house at Washing
ton. His record IL made, and 1t is
such that the people OF the state, as
well as Mr., Hanna. can look upon
with great satisfaction and feel per-
fsctly safe In leaving their interests
In general In the hands Of so able and
conscientious administrators as Mr.
Hanna has proved himself to be. The
worst his opponents could say against
him land they naturally would be the
democrats and might be expected to
oppose w. J. Bryan IL he were q re-
publican, which thank heaven he's raot
would be that he was a gtaunch re-
publican. Hon. T. b. Hanna ID d re-
| publican OF the right shade and in him
all factions would and q champion for
their cause. AS representative In
congress- Mr.. Hanna has been instru-
| mental In the passing OF several laws
which We're decidedly In the interests
Of the North Dakota farmer. Fills bill
now before congress which would
throw open for homestead entry sever
al thousand acres OF coal lands tn the
Fort Berthold reservation and whose
/ passage Is about q certainty In not
the least OF his benefits secured for
North Dakota and North Dakotans.
AS governor at Bismarck. Mr. Hanna
/ would be in close touch with the
/ people and his ability and worth
would be reflected more directly upon
| the state. He would make an ideal
i governor. one who would place honor
l above party and that il the kind DIT
man the people want. Acknowledg-
/ ing that our present governor has
/ given the republican state az North
Dakota as good government alb any
democrat ever did. the republican
/ party cannot afford to present the
| democrats with the highest and most
/ influential Office namely that 1t chief
/ executive, which they certainly have
/ done now for three successive terms,
/ without sacrificing their party and
| principles. for no matter how good d
/ governor q democrat may be he Id not
| going 10 help the republican party
/ any Without any question about ii
4 the next governor of the state will be
d republican and Hon. Il. d. Hanna
the governor ii he carea 10 declare
himself along those lines.

TAFTs DENOMINATION.

There are very rev republicans who
do not realize Taft's denomination is
certain. There may be many who
may not be so confident as to his re-
election. The only active opposition
to Taft will come from the LaFollette
supporters. The east, the south, the
middle west is already certain to be
for Taft. There are some northwes-
tern and some western states In which
insurgency Is rampant In these Taft
may lose delegations. But even grant
ing that LAFollette win capture the
delegations in every state that Is
regarded as infected or afflicted with
insurgency-Taft will still have suf-
ficient votes for his denomination.
The question is rather can Taft be
re-elected-trlan can he be renominat-
ed. II Is not So much a question Of
what the insurgents will do at the re-
publican convention--as what they
will do at the polls in November 1912.
JuuBeu iEUm past SApSA AShCS@ IA
North Dakota and elsewhere-it Is a
safe prediction that many Of the i'm
surgents who are now fighting Taft
will not be reconciled between the
date of the national convention-and
the fall election, Just how consider
able this number will be depends
largely on the conditions during the
next twelve months.
There is no doubling the fact that
in the agricultural west-the defeat Of
the reciprocity measure by the Cana
dams has been helpful to Taft The
difference is already noticeable and
the bitterness the farmers felt toward
Taft for his advocacy Of the reci-
procity measure will be greatly les
sened--now that the plan has failed.
While some republicans in North Da-
kota and elsewhere will never forgive
Taft for the scare given them by rec
iprocity-the Fact the plan Is not to
be adopted--and the agricultural In
terests Of the wheat growing states
VIII not be affected--will result in
most voters remaining in lire.
OF course there are some men SO
bitter they win oppose Taft to the
bitter end, though what they can hope
to gain by supporting a democrat ia
not certain even to them. Then there
are a number of irreconcilable insur-
gents-and = lr-d emocrats-who may
vote against Taft.
The conditions look much more fav-
orable for Taft than they did q month
ago. The next thirteen months may
improve the situation greatly. While
the republicans are scrapping-the
democrats are far from being united.
In fact the differences on their presi-
Dental preferences are even more
pronounced. Instead of two contest
ants there are at least four-Harmon,
Folk, Wilson and Clark. The parti-
sans of the defeated candidates are
not going to be any more enthusiastic
over the successful man-than the La
Toilette supporters will be over Taft.
On his trip Taft is not making any
apologies. He admits mistakes have
been made and Is willing to stand on
the record of his administration.

Nothing Doing But Talk.

In the days OF his youth the Ken

at sunrise the parties met at the APP
pointed place.
Now it was this Kentuckian's duty
to say the last words touching the
terms OF the duel But. although he
faithfully performed this duty. the
duel never took place.
A murmur OF Why not7" invariably
goes round whenever this story is told
whereupon the answer Ii as follows.
For q very simple reason. when
Joe finished speaking II was too dara
for duel.

TALK PROSPERITY.

The Seattle acknowledgements has
the following good advice:
Why not again begin to think and
talk more about prosperity Econom-
ically the American situation is sound
to the core.
Capital is plentiful. Crops are good
and they are commanding good prices
Labor. as a rule, is probably en-
pIoyed.
In such circumstances there doesn't
seem to be much excuse for the sour
chatter OF the pessimist.
CT course mere talk will not con-
vert hard times into good times; but
cheerful talk In period when eco
nomic conditions are sound will en-
courage the timid investor to take his
money out Of his sock and put it into
circulation. That Is precisely what
we need now, and 1t is all we need.
Conditions in Seattle and Washing
ton are not at all different from con-
ditions In other parts Of the country,
except that there is here perhaps less
inclination to halt than we find in
some Of the older cities and states.
TO be sure, there may be found men
with money to invest who are inclined
to hesitate because of the approaching
presidential election; but men who
reason clearly and think deeply on
such matters are not permitting next
years contest to interfere with them;
they are going ahead, and they are
right about it, for no matter what may
happen in 1912, this beautiful repub-
lie viii still be on the map and the
people who inhabit 1t will be reasona-
bly, happy and prosperous.
Get busy and build something; the
outlook is rosy, and II we go ahead
the reward will be rich and ample.
