When the officers ana directors OF the

Mr.. Hanna to the platform no was greet
ed by continued applause and HIS re-.
ception was indeed enthusiastic.
AS his address progressed more o,ti-'
zens filled into the court house and the
court room was damned. many finding
it necessary to be seated on the window
stills and enjoy the clever address which
in a way was non-poltical
TIL speaker of the evening was intro
duced by Attorney A, Il. smythe who Ia
few we'll chosen words paid a high
compliment to the distinguished guest
Congressman L. B. Hanna. He told OF
excellent service Mr.. Hanna had rem
dered the state in the capacity of Con-
gresham, and assured Mr. Hanna that
the young men were> proud to have him
speak to the people of Devils Lake.
Mr.. Hanna's success as business man
satisfied the audience that the admins
tration which he will give the state will
mark a business epoch in the history
Of North Dakota and his address was
nothing short of a business address.
After he had finished there was no ques.
ton but what the majority Of those
present were satisfied that Mr.. Hanna
would give North Dakota the best that
could possibly be expected. sRaa

rather one Of facts that left the hearers
a matter to think about. News from
Washington. telling how North Dakota
had come to be recognized was encour-

brought out in Congressman Hanna's
address. E8f "a ~ 57t,s25
It was clearly demonstrated that Mr..
Hanna's' experience in congress and in
representing our state, together with his
business experience made him a. logical
candidate for governor and he thanked
the people for the opportunity Of having
been able to receive the education that
enabled him to secure: .t&t' ~

.doings at Washington that Mr.. Eanna
devoted most Of his time to. His warm
feeling for the state of North Dakota
and it's advantages serving as even too
great subject to be discussed at length.
BY his remarks however it was clearly
demonstrated that the next governor ii
North Dakota was firm believer III

this state affords. and his project of de-
veloping the coal resources and doing
away with the waste of straw which
could be converted into paper appealed
to all present. 80.
In conclusion Mr.. Hanna made a brief
statement Of what he roposed to do in
event he was elected governor. and it
might all be summed up in the words.
ito give North Dakota, thorough bust
ness administration"
The banquet at Hotel sevilla, which
followed the gathering at the court house
was altogether one of the most enjoyable
events Of the season. At least one hum
dred guests gathered to do justice to the
many good things which the ladies of
the Episcopal church had prepared for
their delectation, and to say that the
banquet was first class in all particulars
would be putting it mildly indeed.
The meeting mas under the direction OF
r. p. Austin, who acted as POSTMASTER
and general factotum. and who "got
away with it" in fine style and with
flying colors. Ray conducted the bust
ness (and pleasure) Of the gathering Just
as though he had been doing nothing
else all his life and won golden opin-
ions from those present; not only for the
way he conducted the serious, business
OF the meeting but,ofor his brief but
witty talks in introducing the speakers
Every speaker who was lion the pro-
gram responded ,wtth the exception OF

absent. While Mr.. Anderson was missed,
Of course, his place on the program was
well filled by the Rev. A. E. Clattenburg,
who proved himself not only well posted
on who was who, SO far as the next
president was concerned, but who also
convulsed his audience by telling a
couple Of very witty stories which had
the merit Of being new to his audience
In passing We cannot refrain from, a
word Of praise for r. F. Hunt, who was
the first speaker on the program of
toasts, and who responded to 1.-THE Pur-
pose Of the Organization. Mr.. Hunt
was in fine voice and his arguments
showed a great deal Of thought and
clear and sane conception Of the issues
involved in this campaign as well as
the part which the young men Of De-
wills Lake and Ramsey county should
play in the approaching election.
F. 7. Cuthbert, Devils Lake real ora
