Neville Journal: Congressman Han
mas enemies are growing desperate.
Their methods are getting beyond all
bounds of good sense. Their latest
stunt" is to insinuate that Hanna did
something wrong by sending out liter
allure on good farming from Wash
Lngton. The democratic daily in Fargo
last week published two letters sent
by Hanna to a North Dakota man In
reference TO these good farming buIle-
tins as proof that Hanna is init for
governor. because his motive was
wrong. In some way his enemies know
that Hanna sent these bulletins over
the state only to promote his own cam
didacy and not promote the gospel of
better farming. 1t is on a par with

thing for the republican party and for
the nation blu because this was going
comment on such fool arguments is
simply that we know of no other sure
way to Judge motive than to study a
mans act. If Hanna's action was right
in distributing these good farming bull
letins and in supporting Roosevelt we
see no reason why he should not re-
Instead Of being condemned for doing
what is proving to be right because he
probably did 1T only to receive credit.
Such absurd criticism only help the
one that is abused.
De LaMere MisseItoe: Vote for L, B..
Hanna for u next governor. He
has served the state continuously since
1894 in various legislative appoint
ments. His records show that he is
always al the front in matters OF i'm
p~ortance to the state n its citizens
He a grown up with the state, set
record n labor for our state, as a
member Of congress-, since 1909, en-
titles him to the vote OF every broad
minded citizen.
Hankinson News: The News does
not believe the republican voters of
the state will make the mistake Of
failing to nominate L. B. Hanna for
ton. The inances OF the state are in
a deplorabIe condition at present, and
sound business judgment and a thor
ough knowledge of the situation are
the responsibility Of conducting the
affairs of North Dakota for the next
two years. That Hanna is qualified by
experience and business ability for the
question. That he will be triumphant
ly nominated The News sincerely be-
lieve8.
Mr.. Hanna's candidacy for governor
because it knows him to be the best
equipped man that has been mentioned
to I'LL the position. The conduct Of the
affairs of this state is a big business
proposition, and that it MAJ be on
sound business principles must nave q
man of known and proved ability at
It's head. Such a man is L. B. Hanna.
He is a man of big business capabilt-
ties, honest to the core, as no man in
this state has been heard to gainsay,
with. the best interests Of the state
deeply at heart. We believe that a
better man for the position is not to
be found within our borders. VIZ say
this with all due respect for Mr.. Buch-
anan, his opponent, whose honesty n
integrity we do not question, but
whose proven capabilities for this
place annot be recognized in the same
class with Mr.. Hanna's. Now these
are matters worth considering. Elect
Mr.. Hanna governor and assure the
state of a good sound business admin
istration.
.Walcott Reporters: Why don't some
Of the papers which are knocking
Hanna, without bringing u any valid
argument against him, spring some-
thing to show why Buchanan would.
He has had equal chance with Hanna
! since he has been in the state and he
hasn't risen to any such height OF
fame as would give the people to UNI
| derstand that he would make a better
oficial than i. b. Hanna, who has
been tried and has made good. h
only argument used by some of the
papers against the congressman is that
he supported Roosevelt.
Tower city Topics: Every voter who
wants to be sure that the state will
receive a business administration dur
ing the next two years should go to
the polls next Wednesday and cast
their ballot for Hon. il. B. Hanna. Mr..
Hanna has beer tried and not found
wanting. We are casting no reflection
on his principal opponent, Mr.. Buch-
!. anan, when we say this. Mr.. Hanna
has served ten years In the state iegis-
lature and four years in congress and
the experience thus gained would be a
valuable asset should he be elected
governor. Mr.. Buchanan is a successful
farmer, but has had no experience In
public AFFAIRS and judging from an
nnpreiudiced standpoint every fair
mtnded man will al " to admit that
Mr.. Hanna,s qualifications for the pos
sition stand out pre-eminent over those
OF Mr.. Buchanan,

man who has been before the public

YOU would let a certain class of fellows
have their say about Hon. L. B. Hanne
they would consign him to a feIon's

than murder that they fail to hold him
accountable for. The folks who know
Mr.. Hanna-eYeu those In his nonak
