There can be no question but that
before many years North Dakota will
manufacture a great number Of. arti-
cles and utensils that she now buys
Of other states. Her climate is fav-
#orable to manufacturing, her people
are careful, Industrious workers, her
transportation facilities are excellent,
and these facilities are being greatly.
improved each year. She also has
vast stores of fuel that will be made
cheaply available. &425s N 5.5I5 s
More and more 1t is coming to be
realized that the large city affords the
manufacturer, especially the small
manufacturer, NO advantage that is
not at least Offset by unfavorable con
ditions, it imposes on him.
On the contrary, the smaller town
Is daily demonstrating the exceptional
advantages 1t holds out LII this re-
spect.
Already the time has passed when
the man Or firm who has in mind the
manufacture of some useful article
allows himself or itself to give way
to the theory that to make success
of things the factory must be situated
in a large city. .s.s a..::s.,s &..E
North Dakota will make the most of
the things she will use in the years to
come and she will sell great quantities
to her neighboring states.
Hanna seems to be gathering but
very little popularity. In a recent is
sue of the Mohall News the following
comment is made: When one takes
a look at the career of the Honorable
Louis B. Hanna, he finds much to adj
mine but sad to say, he finds also much
to deplore, if not to thoroughly des-
1-pise. He is friend of the North
Dakota farmer at election time-but
the rest of the time he is quietly
building his political future, ever
Watchful, and ever careful to step
lightly and lively in order to be every
where at the same time. Hanna meets
himself going and coming. He is the
Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the end of political jugglery and
duplicity. But there is another very
potent reason why North Dakota does
not need and does not want such a
man for governor. For thirty years
ct nearly so, he has been a coupon
clipper, and bonus grabber. For thir-
: ty years he has lived on the laborer,
and reaped his harvest on the sweat
Of the honest toiler. For nearly thir-,
4 8ty years he has not been producer,
and certainly in this state of ours, we
World be foolish to turn over to this
man who is a cousin Of the late Mar
Gus A. Hanna of Ohio, and full bro

matte exploiting of our government,
and the gradual elimination of repre-
sentative government.
La Toilette won in the North Dako-
ta Primary on his own merits and on
his record as public man. No man
could have won out in the state against
the opposition as it was marshalled
and handled under Roosevelt cloak,
except a man with an unimpeachable
public record for honesty of purpose,
B integrity, and ability. La Toilette had
all OF these and had proved them in
The seyerest sort of tests IN his own
state and in the nation. The people
knss his record and knew that that
recdgd sexemplified their demands and
81 met their wishes, and that in him was
embodied all that they demand and
have demanded of public leader as
chief executive of this nation. No
amount OF explanation by the opposi
~ ton. can get rid of these facts. La
toilette won because he had made a
campaign and a record both Of which
commend themselves to the people.
Besides this fact, the third term idea
