Doth progressive and aggressive. His
EFFORTS in behalf of the homesteaders in
passing that three year homestead bill
speaks for itself. 1t was the biggest
thing that congress has done for the
nomesteaders in q years, thanks to
congressman Hanna. The homestead
ers IN this section are people who ap-

thing besides going around shouting

Balfour Messenger: Many of the pa
pers of the state are commenting most
favorably upon the candidacy OF Hon,
L b. Hanna for governor. There is q
general feeling that with the present
demands of our state we lee a broad.
minded business man at the helm.
Hanna is such a man.

Down at Fargo is a newspaper called

man and allied with big business.
