Press Comment

Balfour Messenger: A vote for Han
ma Tor governor means, we believe, n
vote to raise the value of every North
Dakota farm. We believe it for this rea-
son: Mr.. Hanna is determined TO do
ali In his power to advertise our state.
His great influence will bring In capital
n good people. Then people will see
the advantages we hava and 1t logic
rise.
Gwinner Prairie Press: The third
term party Is planning to place a state
ticket in the field in this state, to OPP
pose the republican nominees, and es-
pecially Hanna for governor. Hanna.
won his nomination fairly, and If the
result of the primaries is not to be re-
spected what is the use Of having any?
New Rockford Transcript: Hon. L. B.
Hanna's nomination as the republican
candidate for governor is cordially APP
proved by those who kno him best.
A clean, able business man, he will give
North Dakota a creditable and bust
ness-like administration of the execu-
tive Office.
Darlington Record: In another col
ur1n in this issue will be found the call
for the state convention for the new
progressive party. At this convention
a full ticket will be named. The pro-
gressive paSty is now a separate and

no connection with either of the two
old parties. The new alignment is GO
ing to confusing for awhile at least,
and 1T Is going to be pretty hard for
some to place themselves politically,
h republican party has been
steadily drifting to this split for
the past Is years, n the ine-
vitable has happened. There are a
great many republicans who heretofore
have been classed as progressive re-
ipublicans, who still remain In the cid
party, and will fight in the future as
they have in the past, n the leader
make as they put 1t, the republican
party truly progressive. Others will
come out fat footed as progressivss and
cut off allegiance with the old party.
| There is a disposition on the part OF
some electors named as republicans to
| claim for themselves the right to vote
Ifor the progressive nominee, but this
position is contemplate and dishonor-
able. If they wish to vote for Mr..
Roosevelt it is their place TO run on
1.-THE progressive ticket. 1t is Just as
,d~ishonorable for a republican elector
to vote for the progressive ncminee Us
ut would be for a democratic elector to
vote for Taft, 1t Is the unquestioned
right for a man to work and vote for
whom he pleases, but a man has not the
right to work and vote for Mr.. Roose-
I'velt and still claim to be a republican.
The republican party and the progress
siye party are now two separate and
distinct parties, and at the state con-
vention to be held at Fargo the pro-
gressives will name a complete state
ticket. And we see no reason why the
progressives should not am district
and county tickets as well, If the mat
ter is to be carried to q logical con-
clusion. While this may not come this
year, 1t will eventually. Or is
more likely, either the old republican
party will pass out OF existence as a
political party to be reckoned with, or
the new movement will fall in It's born
ing. Time alone will tell.

is a coward, and a traitor to our free
institutions. The man who is not broad
enough to let a newspaper nave con-
headed parasite. If our editorials give
you the stomach ache, don't read them;
Ii our paper does not agree with you
and gives you a nauseating feeling,
stop the paper; but so long as we are
owners OF It, do not try to intimidate
us by threatening to discontinue 1t.
There was n man quit taking this
paper five years ago, and to tell you
the truth, we have not missed him
when our annual balance sheet was
taken. / tell you, kind readers, you
would not think much or a man that
could be whipped into lines he did not
subscriber. We do not expect all of
our readers to agree with us; that
would be too dull. We are willing to
grant to you free thought and free exc
preston; but we insist on you giving
us that same right and il you do not,
we will take 1t without your leave. We
will let you into a little secret. We
have $50 acres in crop this year and IT
lis looking fine; we are living on that
farm, and we like it; III we lose a few
subscribers that are not willing to let
us think for ourselves, what will IT
matter to us, IL the pigs are doing well
and the grain a good stand? tell
you. this farming life is great The
farm does not breed towards or stinu-
late cowardice; but on the contrary 1t
breeds Independence and makes men.
Our success does not depend on
a newspaper, but upon the same rain
and sunshine that your success de-
whether this paper does or not. We
cannot promise any reader that he can
control our thought or regulate our
principles, but we will give you our
yousif word that We will think as much
we would il you agreed; that we will
never use this paper to cause one ray
OF sorrow or regret to come across
your way. 1t will always be our aim
TO provide a local paper that will fur
nish the local news to local people.
We want your cooperation and your
friendship, If we can get It.
