This great commonwealth
Is Just entering upon an era of won
derful prosperity. During the next few
years this state will become the home
OF thousands of people who are now
living In eastern communities and de-
little less than marveleus-in short,
North Dakota will gain sven greater
prominence than 1t has ever
before enjoyed. We want a governor
who will be in keeping with this period
of prosperity who will make for pros-
perity; a man who is brpad-mindsd, OF
llberal views, experience and who has
already wen g n~atten-wlde reputation,
and honorable statesman and business
man.
No one would think of such a thing
as putting an inexperienced man at the
mead OF q great private business, but
would look far and wide for the most
capable and fully experienced person
to be found-one who had proved his
worth by actual test and whose ac-
co~mplishments were his best recon-
mendations.
Such a man is Louis B. Hanna, and
ne should be nominated for the next
governor of North Dakota. Casting
no reflections on the character and not
questioning the standing as good citi-
zens of the other men on the repub-
lican ticket we say again that for the
best interests of all the citizens Of this
great state, Loui B, Hanna should re-
ceive the endorsement OF the voters at
the primaries next Wednesday, and if
nominated he will be elected next Nov
vember.
Mr.. Hanna is a mar Of whom every
citizen nay be proud of as governor Of
our state. He will not emily conduct
the states affairs in a capable and
business like manner, but will lend
