Murphy asserts that he discovered after

The reason advanced for the

that in the opinion OF some of the

North Dakota Should Have
Splendid Crop This Year,
Is the Belief
Has Just Announced His
Candidacy for Congress
in Second District
Served kidder County IN
Legislature to Satisfaction
Of Constituents

Colonel w. P. futile of Dawson is
spending the week end at the state
capital. It has been generally under
stood throughout the Second congress
sional district since last fall that Col
futile was to be a candidate for
congressional honors. This belief was
verified Wednesday with the official
announcement of his candidacy as it
appeared in the columns of the Daily
Tribune.
Col. Tuttle's announcement of his
candidacy for congressman from the
second district is welcomed by his
wide circle of friends throughout the
entire istrict. When seen by re-
preventative of the Tribune Mr.. Tut
tie said:
Il am entering the congressional
race as business man. I believe the
people will recognize the need of a
business administration in state and
national government. The affairs of
government should be conducted on
strictly business principles. l think
that the people will take into consid-
GRAFTON the fact that my education
should fit me to serve them in bust
ness like manner"
Col Tuttle is busy mailing out petit
tons to all parts Of the district and
mapping out plan Of campaign. He
is deeply interested in the welfare
and prosperity Of this section of the
state, as he has extensive farming in.
terests in the district. In speaking
of the crop prospects and the general
outlook for the current year, he said: :
"The weather indications would be-
token the fact that North Dakota
should have a good crop this year.
And further, the grain should bring
the farmers good prices on account
of the great damage done to winter
grain in the winter wheat states. The
acreage Of the state will be material.
~ lessened. This is due partly to
the lack of fall blowing and partly
to the increase in diversified farm
Ing. I want to say right here that
the latter cause augures well for the
future prosperity permanent
prosperity-of the state"
Mr.. futile is a great believer that
there should be more milcb COWS, and
consequently more creameries, and
less wheat in North Dakota.
"The sooner the people of the
state get away from the one-crop idea
the sooner will the state and the resi-
dents of the state attain success, GER
tain and lasting"
Col. futile is not a new figure in
the public eye. He was a member
of the house of representatives dur.
Ing the 1911 legislative session from
Kidder county, been a colleague Of
Hon. D. R. DAD Srteeter. He serv.
ed his constituents in an eminently
satisfactorily manner, and was ever
alert when any legislation was sug.
gested that was Of interest to them.
Mr.. Tuttle will remain in Bismarck
over Sunday when he will leave for
various points in the Second congress
sional district in the furtherance of
his candidacy.
