Devils Lake World: Cong. l. 3.
Hanna Of Fargo, candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor OF
North Dakota, was a visitor for a
brief period in Devils Lake yesterday
continuing on his way to Williston
where he will look after business mat
ters and also advance his candidacy.
Mr.. Hanna is very well pleased with
the outlook and Is considerably more
confident of election han he was sew
eral weeks ago. He is making a con-
sistent campaign AND his winning nan
ner is making many friends for him
along the road.
Mimic Journal: The Journal favors
Mr.. Hanna's candidacy for governor
because 1t knows him to be the best
to fiji the position. The conduct of the
affairs OF this state is q big business
proposition, and that 1T may be on
sound business principles must have
q man of known and proved ability at
it's head, Such a man is l. j.. Hanna,
He is a man Of big busine0s capabili-
ties, honest to the core, as no man in
this state has been heard to gainsay,
! deeply at heart. We believe that a
better man for the position is not to
be found within u borders. We say
this with all due respect for Mr..
| Buchanan, his opponent, whose honesty
and integrity we do not question, but
whose proven capabilities for this
place cannot be reckoned 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 administra-
ton.
