Fargo, N. D., Sept. 17-'tIt seemed
awfully good to get off the train again
at Fargo Saturday afternoon" said
Congressman l. B. Hanna, republican
candidate for governor who has just
arrived home. The Fargo statesman
is looking in splendid health consider
ing his recent brief illness in Maine.
which followed great deal Of extra
hard work in Washington in the IT.
tense heat on his return to congress
from the June primary campaign.
"The reports of my illness were
somewhat exaggerated, though unin-
tentionally I think" said Mr.. Hanna.
"The facts are that my doctors did
think ! was threatened at first with
typhoid, because my temperature hurg
SO long right at the sta:t But they
succeeded in breaking 1t early ana I
rccuyerated quite rapidly. And this
good, crisp morning makes me feel in
fighting trim again SO that I am fully
ready for another battle. That's the
value Ct the North Dakota Innate. It
IS always right for all things at all
times.
Worked Hard for Bills.
t'i attribute my illness in Maine to
TIE hard work put in in congress
just after my return from North Da-
kota following the June primariss. 1t
was excrutiatingly hot in Washington
during the summer and everybody
worked very hard in order to get
through as soon as possible with the
extra session of congress.
"Working for the Mandan bill,
Fargo postofficc provision kept me OH
the constant rush. There was one
committee meeting after another on
these two bills and after very hard
work I succeeded in getting both
through. The main objection to the
Mandan bill seemed to be in the pre-
cedent it would establish as many Of
the congressman felt it would open
the door to every experiment station
in the country to make similar re-
quest, and I found it no easy task to
get the bill through.
"Then with the Fargo postoffice
matter had job on my hands that
was equally as hard. The matter Of :
curing postoffise building in town
where there isn't one already is gen.
orally considered pretty hard N itself
but to apply for a postoffice in a town
where the government already has a
site and building is much more
difficult matter. When I was given a
hearing before the committee I knew
had to run the gauntlet of all those
congressman who were trying to curb
the passage Of any more federal build
ings just at this time. They are usu>
ally pretty strong in thvir objections
and I had to have every fact at hand
in order to combat their arguments
and convince them that new build
ing was n, eded in Fargo. You may
know I was very gratiied when they
Notified me that they had provided for
my request in. the bill.
On Mission for College.
"Just as soon as 1 could get away
went to Maine on mission for Far
60 College to see if I could procure a
certain donation which had sort Of
been tentatively offered. It must have
been the change from the intense heat
Of Washington to the cool breezes Of
Maine that caused my illness for the
very first night after my arrival fel,
badly and my emperature began to
rise.
CATER complete rest at Southport,
Maine, felt sufficiently recuperated
to return home to begin activities Of
the campaign.
81 just feel fine this morning and
have met a great number Of my
friends who have called both at my
house and at the office. In fact 7
never felt in better spirits or health
in starting in any campaign than do
