ELKS LIKED
FARGO BUNCH

Devils Lake Journal: Devils Lake
Elks are tired but happy today.
After two strenuous days at the
state convention at Fargo, the local
lodge reached Devils Lake this morning
at $3.50 on their chartered train with
two handsome loving cups as their re-
ward. Two main competitions were
won by the local lodge. For the great
est percentage OF members in line of
march, and for the most unique cos
tunes, Devils Lake carried off the
first honors.
The convention is characterized as
the greatest gathering ever held in
North Dakota. Fargo left nothing I'm
done. Every arrangement had been
perfected leaving nothing for the in
vading antlered tribes to ask for to add
to their good time.

Grand Forks Times: On every cor
ner in Grand Forks today, Elks may be
heard telling of the great old time they
had in Fargo and the gate city is com
ing in for no little praise for the way
the visitors were entertained and the
manner in which the convention was
carried out.

Bismarck Tribune: One of the best
state conventions of the B. p. o. e.
was concluded at Fargo last evening
when the late night and early morning
trains carried about 1900 tired, but
happy EIks to their homes in every
corner of North Dakota.
The Fargo Elks proved themselves to
be the best of entertainers, there was
something doing every minute of the
time. The two big features of the con-
vention were the automobile parade on
the evening OF the first day and the
Elks annual parade on the afternoon
Of the second day.

Devils Lake World: Fargo certainly
did itself proud in welcoming the state
Elks. The city was in beautiful garb
with Elk decorations and emblems of
the order. Receptions and theatrical
entertainment was the big feature of
the first day together with great au-
tomobile parade, in which hundreds of
dollars was spent on floats. Aside from
the parade yesterday there was horse
racing at the fair grounds, and con-
cert by the combined bands present,
including the Fort Totten band. which
was better in many respects than the
best bands in Fargo and only the best
in the state were there.

Rhame Review: Hon. L. B. Hanna
came home a short time ago from
Washington, and will devote the short
time remaining before the primaries,
to a eanYass of the state, in the interest
Of his candidacy for governor. The
advent of G. A. Johnson in the race,
will serve to make the contest more
interesting one, as before it was fore
gone conclusion that Mr. Hanna would
win. We believe that he will win any
way, and believe that his public rec
ord should give him a walkaway in
the race.
L. B, Hanna is one of the foremost
among the business men of the state.
He is known all over the state, as his
record is one Of business integrity. He
has been successful, both in business
and politics. AS Congressman the last
three years he has done as much for
the people of the state, as any man
who has represented the state in con-
gress. AS governor for the next two
years, he would give the state busi-
ness administration, and that is of far
more Importance to the people than is
the question of his politics. No one
questions either his ability or his in
tegrity, and voters should take that
into consideration when they mark
their ballots June 26.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1912-06-08

Gascoyne Advance: The question has
been asked us several times of late who
we were supporting for governor, but
we were unable to answer, as we had
not decided fully, who, in our opinion
would make the best governor for the
people. After giving this matter con-
siderable thought and investigating
the records of the three candidates,
Hanna, Buchanan and Johnson, we be-
lieve that Hon. T., B. Hanna is the man
who can and will give the people the
best administration. During the time
he has been in Washington as our
congressman he has always worked for
the best interests of the whole people
and has accomplished much good for
the state. If the people see fit to hon
or him with the high Office Of governor
they can rest assured that he viii give
to the state the best there is in him,
and The Advance believes he is the one
man of the three that should be placed
in the governors chair. About the
only thing his opponents can say
against him is that he is stalwart
republican. but If the people will take
the time to look up his record they will
find that he is working harder for real
progressiveness than many Of the so
called leaders of the progressive move
ment, lthe preacher, Totten, not ex-
cepted) and we are of the opinion that
others will look at this matter in the
same light and that Mr.. Hanna will be
nominated by substantial majority.

Edgeley Mail: Congressman Hanna
seems to be well pleased with the out

that as he has made good there, he can
do the same as the executive of the

DISTURBANCE OF
BIG BUSINESS"

With president who has
promised to do some thing" with
"a senate and a house democatic,
and with the tariff the chief point
of attack, we may see some very
big gentlemen considerably dis
turbed before this administration
goes out Of power.
Perhaps, in the long run, it
would be good thing tn give
something of a shock to present
conditions.
A good many big and able men
in this country are wasting their
time. If they found it impossible
to continue simple method of maxi
ing of the money they want by
forming monopolies and charging
more they might go into some use
full work.
There is no doubt that j. PIER
pont Morgan is a very powerful
and able man. If the were COM
PEELED to do it. he cnuld build up
industries, create new property
and new values and add something
to the country's wealth. Thus far
he has heen able to make all the
money he wanted merely by taking
three or four businesses, putting
them togethere, giving hem a new
name, issuing sn many millions or
hundreds of millions of stock and
letting the public pay much more
afterwar6 for material cors umrd.
Of course, the old fashioned way
of getting rich in hurry was
attractive. Where you have five
men working for the public each
trying to sell cheaper than the
other, you got goods cheap.
Along came one big man, put
the FIVE men together, paid each of
them twice as much as his business
was worth and then made tho
public pay double with the power
of monopoly.
That has been done in sugar, in
coal III iron, in steel and in many
lines. The men who have ar
ranged these organizations and
monopolies have been powerful
men. The work which they have
done has been thus far very useful
work. Monopoly. when it owe,
charges because ii is monopoly,
when it uses the the power of
organization to rob the public,
instead of to serve the public, is E
very bad thing.
But, at the same time it is gooc
thing, in that it arouses public
clamor for relief and remedy.
The monopoly which robs the
people today will be controlled and
owned by the public temorrow.
So the work which the big mer
have done in combining many
businesses into one, and making thu
public pay tens and hundreds
millions of profit in few years OF
months. has had its good as well
as its bad side.
Now, il that thing could be
checked, if monopolies could BE-
compelled to run on basis of fait
chances regardless of the amour
of stocks and bonds that th
gentlemen in charge may hava
run off ON their printing presses
and if the very big men Of tn
country could be put to work e.
producing instead of combining
the country might be letter off
