Stanley Promoter: Al really, truly,
ultra-exclusive banquet for the fat
boys Of the progressives, is to be held,
in Bismarck, on Friday, (cross your
hngersl, June z.
What "~snobgressive's Ward McAlIlg-
ter Is sorting the sheep from the goats,
and guarding the threshold, Of this
400 only" banquet hall, from the con-
Eliminating shadows OF possible under
sirable guests. has not been make
known.
Suffice it to say that Helgeson, or
Gronna, will cone there pregnant with
"A message from La FoIletter which
must sound like a communication from
the spirit world now that Bob is so far
removed from the station they thought
he occupied when his worshippers first
deserted him. Gronna will also, when
the guests sit down, be very careful to
seat himself right between Marshall
and Buchanan so they can't hold hands
or get their feet together beneath the
table. Norwegian mans hay tank hay
don't like das Yankee trick yu no.
Thirty per cent Marshall will be
there to see that the boys don't talk
out loud unless asked to and will fetch
his little page, P. d. Norton, along to
whisper in the patronaI ear, should he
catch any OF them discounting chances,
Cor anything eIsel at less than the
legal rate.
Holy Joe win ask the blessing, be-
ing to the born. At the same
time he will keep one eye open to see
that p. d. don't grab a slice of the
congressional endorsement pie. Young,
of Valley City, and Bessesen, OF Har-
vey, will also sacrifice a good many
things to be present and perform the
like service for each other.
Stutsman, Mann and Anderson viii
do their best to make Joe Purcell feel
like a wall flower and keen the air as
frigid as possible SO re won't wilt.
r. M. Pollock, of Fargo, will sit at
the head of the table. where he can
watch the spoons, and Sid Adams VIII
take down the minutes. Carl Jorgen-
sen, not having to watch his seat, be-
cause it is reserved, will seat the
guests. Tom Hall will fan Harry
Tucker and cheer his dropping spirits
with the smelling salts and Doc Bright
bill will see that he don't waste m of
them for Tom may need them himself.
Kraabel, of Clifford, and Taylor, of
Bismarck, will sit down to a game of
pinochle as they are not particularly
interested and Hutchinson, of Mime
waukon, and Totten, OF Bowman. viii
sic the dogs on Johnson and Midtbo, of
Minot, should they appear.
Alex McKenzie's disembodied spirit
will do service as the Banquo's ghost
of the occasion and Heap Hop Steele
will decipher the handwriting on the
wall, which no one can see so well as
himself.
Glen UIlin News: "A campaign Of
personal abuse aimed at a man like
l. B, Hanna of Fargo, candidate for
governor, has but little effect on the
intelligent voter, and If anything tends
to make him a still stronger Hanna
man. Mr.. Hanna has a clean business
and legislative record and it is upon
this record that Mr.. Hanna stands. We
believe he would make the state d
splendid governor.
sheyenne Star: with his long legis-
lative experience in both state and ma
ton and business ability, Hon. L. b.
Hanna is better equipped to give the
state a successful business administra-
ton than any other candidate now in
the field. He is known, has been tried,
tested and found in every instance not
wanting. AS governor he would fill
the executive chair with honor to
himself and our great and glorious
commonwealth.
Marmarth Mail: Cong. L. B. Hanna
is one of the Invest wires in the state
today and regardless of the fight that
is being made against him by his enc
mics, his chances for winning the nom
ination as governor seem to be grow
ing better rapidly.
Ross News: L. B. Hanna is now
making a campaign Of the state in be-
half of his candidacy for governor, and
the way that the press gang are boost
ing his candidacy it sure looks as
though Mr.. Hanna is the choice of the
people. 1t is to the interests Of every
one to boost Hanna's candidacy as he
has the ability of carrying out the af-
fairs of the state in a business like
manne
Crazy Opinion: The Opinion is for
Hon. L. B. Hanna for governor, be-
cause we believe he is best qualified
for the position in every way. He is a
successful business man, farmer and
banker, has had several years exper-
fence at Bismarck as a member of the
legislature, and is now a member OF
congress. He has always worked hard
for his constituents and for the best
interests of North Dakota.
The state needs a good business adj
ministration and Mr.. Hanna has shown
that he is competent.
