suit. That he will win OF In the cleo
ton next autumn is practically certain.
The good record that Mr.. Hanna made
while representing this state in con-
gress; his untiring efforts in behalf of
the people of this state; and his serv-
ices as a legislator n public servant
in state offices are such as to cause the
voters of North Dakota to believe that

Mr.. Hanna is an independent republic
can; a successful business man and
farmer. He has the qualifications that
make him an ideal candidate for gov
ernor. He is Independent and recog-
nizes no boss and his record from early
days shows him to be consistent and
trustworthy.
In the election next November eople
of this state will vote for the man re-
CARELESS of political lines and Hanna
will receive the support Of not only the
republican voters, but also Of the indie
pendents who do not believe in party
lines, but rather in the ability, honesty
and independence OF the candidate for
whom they vote.

a certain newspaper that has become
notorious for it's injustice.
Mr.. Hanna has been s~plendidly vim
dicated n is becoming more popular
daily. His record during the campaign
was as it has been throughout life
always manly, clean, and above pet
tiness. His silence before his accuser
whom he knew to be false is mt or
iginal; there is another instance in his
as an analogy n not as q comparison;
when he was accused of the scriLes
