LITTLE FOR THE SENATE.

In the development of all new coun-
tries there is almost certain to come
q time, partaking in many instances
of the nature of crisis, when the
onward progress of state, county or
community, seems to be checked, held
back as it were, by the adverse or
competing interests of some powerful
competitor in the field Of commercial
and social advancement. Burleigh
county may truly be said to have
reached one of these periodic stages
of her growth.
The powerful trend westward of he
population; her position as the CAPT.
tai city Of great and growing state;
the opening up by new railways of
vast contiguous territories; the COM
paratively large percentage of the
county's agricultural area yet open
for advantageous settlement; all
these circumstances have marked her
as a promising field for the newcomer
and she stands today on the thresh-
old of new departure in commercial
and agrurian Development But other
centers of the westward growth are
also in the field for the good things
which are coming. North of us and
south, powerful interests are seeking
to attract settlement and their rail-
way lines are paralleling the trans
continental system which passes
through and feeds our territory. Jeal-
GUS eyes are watching the rapid
strides taken during the past few
years by Burleigh county and willing
and able minds are Striving to snatch
from the Capital city and her tribu-
tary territory some Of the rich prizes
which seem to be in sight.
How esseptial then is it that our
public men, to whom are entrusted
our material interests, should be men
OF action, wise and experienced in the
needs of their constituency and &C.
quainted with the most practical me-
thods of gaining results. Especial
ly is this true of the legislative func-
ton where zeal and aggressiveness
are apt to be barren of results unless
tempered by that intimate knowledge
of men and their ways which can only
be gained from actual personal ex-
perience in the governing bodies of
the state.
In supporting the candidacy of Col
onel c. B. Little Of Bismarck, for
state senator from Burleigh county,
the Tribune believes that it is pre-
senting the name of man pre-emin-
emily qualified to steer the interests of
Burleiga county and the Slope gener-
ally through the shoa1 and dangerous
waters of legislative navigation.
From the first days of pioneer settle
men; through the weary years OF
struggle and Misrepresentation, and
bitter strige for honest recognition,
through the happier days of earlier
commercial development down to the
present time when. of all oilers, we
need he strong, guiding hands of wis
dom and experience, Colonel Little
has stood unwaveringly and uncom-
promisingly for Burleigh county and
her interests. For thirty years he has
borne the brunt of battle in behalf of
his chosen western nome. He has
given of his means and taken chances
vita the future, steadfast in his abid-
ing faith in the country's ultimate
fortune. He has, in the past, been
entrusted with his county's interests
in the state senate and on every hand
we can see the evidence of his eler-
getic and successful efforts. That he
should again be willing to take up
the burden of representation at this
