Senator Porter ]. McCumber Of Wah-

head of the Taft movement in this state
Is. the guest Of Devils Lake today arriv-
ing here this afternoon.
Senator McCumhar who has been clos
.er to the president than any man in
this state on his return from Washing

has been entirely to blame for bringing
strength to the national republican
cause which UP to the tine of his ar
rival had been little cared for.
His efforts have brought President
Taft to such an estimation in the minds
of North Dakotans that oosevelt Is no
longer question and it is generally
admitted that the contest is now be-
tween Taft and Wilson.
If the rapid gain that has been made
in the interests Of Taft during the past
two weeks continues until November s.

Why Farmers Should Vote for Hanna

who understands the needs of the farm
ers from some other angle than selling
them farm machinery at trust prices,
can serve them better than one not so
situated.
The rejection of live stock from out
side edemics, the glandered horse law
and scores of other laws on the statute
books-designed to rotect the property of
the farmer-can be rendered worthless
by the governors veto power over the
appropriations for them. 1t would be as
easy to cut out these as it would be
to cut out the farmers INST tes.
Mr.. Hanna has always been public
servant rather than a politician. When
a man for years in public life has fol-
lowed a marked policy, IL is a pretty
safe assurance that if again elected ho
will do the same thing. Mr.. Hanna
all his past pubic life has looked to the
interests of the people before his poll
teal ambitions. If that be so, is it not
reasonable that if elected governor he
will look after the interests Of the farm
crs becaus their prosperity means the
prosperity Of the state! Those are some
Of the reasons why the interests Of the
farmers will be better served by his
election than by the election of any
one else.
If a selfish motive dominated him, he
would still be the best man for COVER
nor from both the farmers and the
business mems standpoint. He has
large farming interests in the state and
anything that would add to either would
add equally to the same interests of
every man in the state. Even this policy
while selfish would be better for the
people than one which was merely the
building up Of political machine

The snow in that vicinity had drifted
quite badly and it was hard work to
keep the car going. Occasionally the
three men with Mr.. Hohoff had to get
out and push. When about five miles
from Devils Lake the car went into a
ditch which had been we'll filled with
snow. The snow had drifted to such an
extent that it was almost five feet deer

Later Developments tend to show that
Baker went to the Glass home and went
into the room where his wife was SIT

father saying: my God, here is
George"
Her father assured her that George
could do her no harm and went into
the room where Baker and his wife
and the wife tried to escape through
a window, but was killed before getting
away.
She was evidently shot first in ths
stomach and later, while lying in the
window. Baker placed the revolver to
her head and fired again. In all seven
shots were fired. Baker was arrested by
Constable Bon and has been taken to
the county Jail at Steele. He claims it
was done in self defense out the people
here state that Glass liz no gun. The
coroners inquest is beng held today.
Baker is known as a worthless char
acter and is suspected of being a de-
serter from the U. s. army and has
travelled all over the country. 1t is stat
ed that he has changed his name more
than once When he was arrested he
was walking away from the house with
one Of his chiluren in his arms.

Why should the farmer vote for l.. B.
Hanna for governor? 1t must be admit
ted that the farmer is the bone and
siaew Of North Dakota prosperity. Let
the agricultural industry be removed
from the state and it returns to the
condition in which the rioneers of the
7O's and SOS found it. Seventy-five per
cent of the states wealth is directly or
indirectly dependent upon the farms. II
is evident, then. that an administration
of state agairs that will be beneficial to
the farmers will be benencial to the
whole state.
But the farmers themselves should be
the penefciaries directly If they vote
for Hanna for govrnor for reasons of
prosperity No one believes that the
election Of Mr.. Hanna will enable the
state, through its ogicials to distribute
vouchers on the state treasury for
money. Some democrats believed the ma.
tional government woul> do that when
President Cleveland was elected the first
time. The benefits to the arfmers will
come from lower taxes and greater re-
SUITS from the money expended 1or tHeHi
We are willing to become surety that
if Hanna is elected governor he will

The truth is known. The failure OF
Judge Cowan's opponent to make a re-

to dabble in affairs as special judge has
caused wide comment. During his term
as special oversee things were
run in a very poor manner. The tax
payers suffered, the litigants suffered
and the attorneys suffered.
Little did the people Of the district

until his opponent was called to act as

The truth is known and now that the
citizens have found it out their votes
will be recorded in the column for Judge
Cowan next Tuesday.
Great gains are being made by the
present Judge of the Second judicial
district. Solid vote is all that can be
learned in Ramsey county in favor Of
Judge Cowan, while the fact that Judge
Cowan cut into his opponents vote and
was victor in his home town at the
primaries is enough to CONVINCE the av-
erage voter that he is the popular man
for judge of the Seconu Judicial district.
