SIMPSON FOR
CONGRESS
Is What the People Want. Papers
Tell of His Fitness. Give
Him Your Vote
June 26

The newspapers of Western North
Dakota are practically unanimous in
declaring that L. A. Simpson of Dickin-
son is the logical candidate for the
nomination of Congress in the Third
district.
The Flasher Hustler. published in
southeastern Morton county, says:
Leslie A. Simpson For Congress.
should be the slogan of every voter in
the third congressional district. He is
not only the right man, but he is the
very best man for this responsible posi-
tion. He is the logical candidate for
the western part of the state-for he
performed an important part in the
shaping of the destines of the western
part of the state. Morton county voters
should stand shoulder to shoulder for L.
A. Simpson for congress, for he is the
man who will secure the agricultural ap-
propriations from congress that are
needed in this part of the state. They
should not think for a holy moment.
that Morton county could expect any,
thing from man living at Minot and
but little from man living at Hetting-
er on the South Dakota line In help
ing Leslie A. Simpson to 60 to Con-
gress. Morton county is helping itself.
and every voter should wake up to this
fact He stands head and shoulders
above any of his colleagues for the NOM
ination to congress, and his naturally
keen perception of business affairs and
his oratical powers make him pre-emi-
nentIy the man for the place.
At mass meeting held at Mr.. Simp-
sons home city of Dickinson. last
week, he was unanimously endorsed by
the entire press of Stark county and the
whole of the people in general. 1t was
one of the largest attended meetings
ever held in Dickinson, and such promi-
nent men as Judge Crawford. Mayor
Johnson, Attorneys Berry. Pugh and
Turner endorsed his candidacy for con-
gress. This speaks we'll for the high
estimate in which Senator Simpson is
held by his home people. By sending
Leslie A. Simpson to congress the
people can feel assured that they will
have representative in congress who
is big enough to represent the entire
Third Congressional district.
The Herald published at Lennon. on
the southern border of Adams county,
twenty miles east of Hettinger says:
Hon. L. A. Simpson of Dickinson is
making splendid campaign of it for
the national House of Representatives
from the Third district of North Dakota.
Mr.. Simpson has been the spokesman
for the western part of North Dakota,
over against the overpowering influence
of the east part of the state. Twenty
years his voice has been raised in
the states legislative halls for recogni-
tion for the west. and this eloquent and
daring leader OF the vests forces has
compelled the east to recognize the
just claims of the slows settling western
counties. because of his magnificent
leadership. This is the man who now
asks the people of western North Dakota
to send him to Washington. Can we
afford to ignore him, over against the
spurious claims of others? North Da-
kota citizens. stand up for Leslie A.
Simpson. Give him your first choice
vote, and be assured that in selecting
him you have selected the truly repre-
sentative statesman from among the
candidates.
