state attempt to dictate who should be
governor. We believe the people Of

Valley city Times-Record: Good
roads are q crying question in North
X n practically every hamlet In
me state has started some concerted
movement, These workers have done
q 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
#oIner living man--and that man ia Hon.
L. b Hanna, who introduced the bill
WONG for an appropriation of SIS a
mile of roads where rural routes are
maintained.
IT viii be readily seen how important
North Dakota where the plan lis to
maintain the best roads in h world.
congressman Hanna's measure will
make this plan possible.
Mr. Hanna to the voters of the state
anu he will have q splendid endorse
ment at the primary election June rs.
Bowdon Guardian: The members Of
the republican party Of this state will
nave the opportunity Ext wednesday
TO uGclQe whether or not North Da-
kota will have a democratic governor
during the next two years. Any one
who is familiar with the political sit
uation knows that the only candidate
az the primaries who has a show OF
the Hon. L. b, Hanna.
The situation simply is this: John-
son, m or the so-called progressfves,
twice received the nomination for gov
ernor on the republican ticket and was
dereated by a democrat both times.
he is therefore no more than a Joke,
as TAR as having any chance of land
ing the nomination Wednesday. Yet
ne defeated Buchanan for the nornina-
tlon at the last primaries, Which one
or the two then, is the biggest Joke?
All republicans should unite on Hanna
in the fall Hanna has done more for
the common people of this state dur
ing the short time he has been con-
gresham than any member from this
state. His bills in behalf OF the farm
ers and homesteaders alone entftle him
70 the support of everyone interested
IN the welfare of our rural districts.
More rural mail routes have been es-
tapAsned In this state through his eff
forts than those OF any other congress-
man his three year homestead bill.
which has 10 become a Law, will
penent every honesteader in the STATE.
a maj who has made good as con-
gresham certainly will make good ais
governor. DO not listen to all this
1901 progressive" talk about 'the man
who never lodged an issue" Buchanan
never had an issue to dodge. Vote Tor
vember.
Aneta Panorama: Hanna will make
MorLn Dakota one Of the best COVER
nors that 1T has ever had and why
should he not? Is he not one of h
most successful business men Ia the
stare he Is n OF the best posted
he not served the people in the state
= at washington in q s~tatesmanlike
manner? There is no question about
MIN being the man for the Office.
Bowden Guardian: we have re-.
celVed a series of press articles edited
by one Buck, attempting to attack the
pubic record of l. b.. Hanna. After
eaalng them we fail to find anything
which does not reflect great credit on.
aanna: Who is paying for the print
ing or 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
IKE TO know is, who tell is Buck?
Neche Chronotype: Before another
issue OF The Chronotype is printed the
primary election will be over. There
* q iidlAibSA VI BOOu men IN the held
for the nomination for different state
offices. J.. b. Hanna, for governor:
Gunder Olson, for state treasurer;
Frank s Henry, for secretary Of state;
Walter Q. Taylor, for insurance con-
missioner; Carl o. Jorgenson, for state
auditor, and w, Q. Gilbreath, for COM
missioner of agriculture and labor, are
candidates that we can recommend and
VINO, II elected, will make excellent Of
ficials.
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 it needs. Very
few OF the papers are against him and
those that are, nave not, and cannot,
in public or private life. The voters
should figure the g~oyernorship In the
same way they would IL they were to
hire an attorney to try an Important

in the matter of who we shall have
to govern the state. Just because a

nor. If we hire a poor attorney we
must a him as rauch as an able man,
and chances are the best man will al
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. II the
average voter viii reason this out for
will be cast for l.. B. Hanna.

No man questions Mr.. Buchanan's
honesty. But he has no talent for pub

personality required Of a nan truly

All we know of Mr.. Buchanan Is what

Lennon Herald: 1t is our privilege
to have known Hon. T. b. Hanna for a
long number of years. Throughout that
time our regard and respect for him,
for his worth as a a a man of ac-
ton, of thoughtfulness, of devotion to
duty, Of Legislative and executive abiI-

year to year. His official acts-ard he
