Valley city Times-Record: Good
roads are crying question in North
ID1akota and practically every hamlet In
sne .l.e,5 state has started some CONCERTED
action for the advancement of the
movement These workers have done
3 world of good for those who travel
the country roads.
:, However, there is one man from
North Dakota who has done more for
the good roads of the state than any
otner living man--aYld that man ts Hon
T. ~. Hanna, who introduced the bill
into the United States legislature pro-
mile Of roads where rural routes are
maintained.
It will be readily seen how important
North Dakota where the plan is to
MAINTAIN the best roads in the world.
congressman Hanna's measure will
make this plan possible. Il
such measures as this have endeared
Mr: Hanna to the voters of the state
ana he viii have a splendid endorse
inent at the primary election june 20.
Bowdon Guardian: The members of
80
nave the opportunity next Wednesday
70 decide whether or not North Da-
kota will have democratic governor
during the next two years. Any one
who is familiar with the political sit
uation knows that the only candidate
at the primaries who has a show OF
winning in the November election is
the Hon. L. B. Hanna.
The situation simply is this: john
son, one OF the so-cal1ed progressIves,
twice received the nomination for gov
ernor on the republican ticket and was
9ereated by. a democrat both times.
ne is therefore no more than joke,
as far as having any chance of land
ing the nomination Wednesday. Yet
ne defeated Buchanan for the nomina-
tlon at the last primaries. Which one
OF the two then, is the biggest jokeg
All republicans should unite on Hanna
and thus insure a republican victory
IN the fall. Hanna has done more for
the common people of this state DUR
gresham than any member from this
state. His bills in behalf of the farm
ers and honlesteaders alone entitIe him
70 the support of everyone interested
IN the welfare OF our rural districts.
More rural mail routes have been es-
tabltshed In this state through his ef-
forts than those Of any other congress
man. man His three year homestead bill,
which has now become a law, will
beneft every homesteader in the state.
A man who has made good as con-
gresham certainly will make good as
governor. Do not listen to all this
fool progressive" talk about ''the man
who never lodged an issue" Buchanan
never had an issue to dodge. Vote for
Hanna and republican victory in No
vembers
Aneta Panorama: Hanna will make
North Dakota one OF the best COVER
nors that it has ever had and why
should he not? Is he not one of the
most successful business men in the
men on the wants OF this state. Has
ne not served the people in the state
ana at Warrington in statesmanlike
manner? There is no question about
MIN being the man for the ONCE.
Bowden Guardian: we have re-
eelVed a series of press articles edited
py one Buck, attempting to attack the
public record of L. B, Hanna After
which does not reflect great credit on
Hanna, Who is paying for the print
ing OF these articles and for Bucks
tune spent coming to this state to butt
he has "butted" into this fight and in
spite of his name being Buck, causes
one to surmise that he must be the
original nanny" But what we would
like to know is, who tell is Buck?
\ Neche Chronotype: Before another
issue of The Chronotype is printed the
primary election will be over. There
are a number of good men in the field
for the nomination for different state
oftices. L. B. Hanna, for governor;
Gunder Olson, for state treasurer;
Frank S, Henry, for secretary Of state;
Walter Q. Taylor, for insurance COM
Carl o. Jorgenson, for state
auditor, and w. G. Gilbreath, for COM
missioner of agriculture and labor, are
that we can recommend and
who. If elected, will make excellent Of
fcials.
Willow City Eagle: L. b. Hanna
has our endorsement for governor, for
the reason that he is the best fitted for
this office, and will give this state the
kind of administration 1t needs. Very
rev OF the papers are against him and
those that are, have not, and cannot,
say anything against his record, either
In public or private life The voters
should figure the governorship in the
same way they would If they were to
hire an attorney to try an important
case, or g surgeon to perform an op-
Grafton. They would naturally want
the best to be had, 1t is the. same
to govern the state. Just because a
man is q successful farmer" is no
reason we would want him for COVER
nor. If we hire a poor attorney we
must pay him as r7uch as an able man,
ways save us some money. If Hanna
is nominated and elected, he will not
be an untried experiment, but will be
able and efficient at all times. If the
himself, we believe his first choice vote
will be cast for L. B. Hanna.
Stanley Promoter: Since the organi-
cation of the Northwest Development
league, which has for it's object the
material advancement OF the seven
northwestern states of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Idaho, washington and Oregon, 1t has
become increasingly important to Sc
lect representative men for the govern
ship because Of the active part the
governors of these several states are
taking in the work OF this league
L. b. Hanna is man with the tai
ent knowledge and prestige to go to
these gatherings and represent his
state and get respectful hearing for
ready what he will say for his past
reSord is one of tireless and willing
boosting for North Dakota.
h No man questions Mr.. Buchanan's
honesty. But he has no talent for pub
lie speaking. He can not hold and In
terest an audience. He has not the
personality required of man truly
representing the great state we are
living in. His opponent is all of these
we know what Mr.. Hanna has done
All we know of Mr.. Buchanan is what
he has not done. Would we not be
foolish to reject the active Mr. Hanna
for the passive Mr.. Buchanan?
Lennon Herald: 1T is our privilege
to have known Hon. T. 3. Hanna for q
long number of years. Throughout that
time our regard and respect for him
for his worth as man, man of ac-
tion, of thoughtfulness of devotion tc
duty, of legislative and executive abiI-
ity OF highest rank, has increased from
year to year. His official acts-and he
has been in the lime light of public
scrutiny for over twenty years--will
