:, Minot Optic: Frank Henry, repub-
lcan candidate for secretary of state
should receive an unusually large vote
on wednesday. There is no man in the
state qualified to fill the ONCE he as
pires to better than he, and if elected
ne will give the tax payers one of the
very best administrations they have
ever had. Mr.. Henry is an upright,
nonorable man. He has lived in North
Dakota many years and he has always
given freely of his time and labor to
the development OF the state. He will
make an ideal secretary and the voters
should elect him by an overwhelming
majority.
Mott Pioneer Press: Everyone who
knows of the splendid record that has
neen made by Cong. Louis B.
ture and OF congress, is pleased to hear
or the hearty reception his candidacy
Tor the office of governor Of North Da-
kota is receiving from the republican
press Of the state, says Editor Streeter
In his Emmons County Record. Every
piece of good legislation in this state
during the many terms he was a MEM
Der of the general assembly bear the
impress of his influence and his vote.
Particularly was he a power in ad-
vancing the interests of the state agri-
cultural college Being citizen OF
Fargo and a personal friend of Presi-
dent Worst, he knew the needs OF the
institution that is of most practical
use to the people Of this state, and,
having in crop each year many acres
OF Red river soil, interests as well as
inclination made him the never-failing
friend Of the college in the Legislative
body.
jamestown Alert: While at James
town Cong. l. B. Hanna, republican
candidate next Wednesday, whose chief
opponent is James A. Buchanan. Of
Buchanan, this county, talked but lit
tie politics, attending the closing ses-
sion Of the Bankers convention, where
he made few remarks regarding the
hne condition of the state, and bright
prospects for good crop.
However, regarding the bitter and
personal attack that has been CEN
tered upon him by Fargo paper, un-
der articles written by specially hired
correspondent for the purpose, which
accused him Of dishonesty and double
dealing and OF working against the in
terests of the people in practically ev-
cry measure at the state Legislature
and at congress, and gave him no cred
1t for any public bill he had supported,
he stated clearly he considered 1t un-
clean politics and not worthy OF the
cause that the party claimed to be
championing. He stated that he had
never during the campaign issued a
statement personally derogatory to his
chief opponent, nor had he sanctioned
the publication of any such attacks;
that he was making the campaign
squarely upon his record for making
good, in whatever he has undertaken
in business, farming, at the state legis-
lature, and at congress, and his ex-
perience, training and ability to give
the state of North Dakota clean, bus
mess administration. That is the only
way / am putting my case up to the
voters he said.
Sheyenne Star: When you go to the
polls next Wednesday, and enter the
booth remember there is one thing you
should do IL you want clean business
administration of the affairs OF this
posite the name of Hon. L. B. Hanna
for governor. You will make no mis-
take in doing so, for he is a man thai
has proven himself to be d man among
men. His public record is beyond re.
proach and he lis equipped in every
way for the work that should be taker
up by the next governor In voting
