can. His Is years of legislative ex-
perience, his naturally keen perception
of business affairs and his oratorical
powers make him pre-eminently the
man for the place.
Attorney T. H. Push followed Mayor
johnson. saying that he had known L.
A. Simpson for some five years and had
found him an able, discerning man
who was always ready to put his hands
to the plow. Mr.. Pugh said that almost
every one was aware of the fact that
great many men in Congress had a
habit of absenting themselves when
important votes were taken, but he was
sure that L. A. Simpson would not be
found in that class. He had never
flinched from recording his vote one
way or the other in the legislature and
he would be the same kind of man if
sent to Washington. Mr.. Simpson
should not be left to make his cam
paign alone, said Mr.. Pueh. 1t should
be personal matter with everyone of
US and we should get out and work
for him. Is
In taking the floor, Attorney H. C.
Berry said that the people had gathered
as neighbors to endorse the candidacy
of L. A. Simpson and he could not see
how any man having the interest of
the locality at heart could shirk the
responsibility of giving him their per-
sonal support. The man has grown up
in our midst ani knows as no other
candidate knows our needs. Further
than this, he has the ability to get us
legislation. The people have the ut
most confidence in the ability and in
tegrity of L. A. Simpson. If he makes
you promise he will keep it, and
that is the kind of man needed 10 Con-
gress. A real progressive candidate is
a man who can look into the future
and accurately determine what legis-
lation will be best adapted to the use
of the people a few years hence. L. A.
Simpson is this kind of a man. There
are men who style themselves progres.
sives for no other purpose than to ride
into office on some popular wave. Mr..
Berry said that if we had reason to be.
lieve that L.. A. Simpson could ably
represent US in Congress, it was oul
individual duty to do everything in oul
power to further his candidacy. Starl
county could not expect anything from
a man living at Minot and but little
from man living at Hettinger on thu
South Dakota line.
Judge W. C. Crawford heartily en-
dorsed the resolution adopted and wha
had been said in favor of L. A. Simp
son. He said that we needed one O
our own men to represent us in Con
gress and a man of Mr.. Simpson
ability and experience in Congress
would be one of the most valuabl,
assets southwestern North Dakota coult
have. In helping Mr.. Simpson we hell
ourselves and every voter should wake
up to this fact.
