HANNA TO OPEN
HIS CAMPAIGN

}. is LOOKING WELL FOLLOWING
HIS BRIEF ILLNESS. ARRIv.
ED FROM EAST SAT.
Fargo, Sept. 16.-"It seemed awful
ly good to get of the train again q
Fargo Saturday afternoon" said Cong
; L. B. Hanna, republican candidate
for governor, who arrived home day
before yesterday. The Fargo states
man is looking in splendid health con.
sidering his recent brief illness Il
Maine, which followed q great deal
of extra hard work in Washington,
in the intense heat on his return "a
congress from the June primary cam
paign.
"The reports of my illness were
somewhat exaggerated, though unin-
tentionally think" said Mr.. Han
ma. "The facts are that my doctors
did think I was threatened 1T first
with typhoid, because my temperature
hung 50 long right at the start. But
they succeeded in breaking it early
and recuperated quite rapidly. And
this good, crisp morning makes mo
feel in fighting trim again 80 that
am fully ready for another battle.
That's the value Of the North d.
kota climate. It is always right for
all things at all times.
II attribute my illness in Maine to
the hard work l put in in congress
just after my return from North Da-
kota following the June primaries. Il
was excrutiatingly hot in Washington
during the summer and everybody
worked very hard in order to get
through as soon as possible with tho
extra session Of congress.
working for the Mandan bill
Fargo postodice provision kept me On
the constant rush. There was one
committee meeting after another on
these two bills and after very hard
work succeeded in getting both
through. The main object to the
Mandan bill seemed to be in the pre-
cedent it would establish as many Of
the congressman felt it would open
the door to every experiment station
in the country to make . similar ~
gust. And found it no easy task to
get the bill through.
"Then with the Fargo postofics
matter had job on my hands that
was equally as hard. The matter Of
securing postoface building in . town
where there isn't one already is gen.
orally considered pretty hard in itself,
but to apply for a postoffice in q town
where the government already has q
site and building is a much more,
difficult matter. When was given .
hearing before the committee I knew
had to run the gounlet Of all those
who were trying to surb
The passage just at this time. They
are usually pretty strong in their oS.'
ections and I had to have every fact
n hand in order to combat their argu-
nents and convince them that q new
was needed in Fargo. You
nay know l was very gratifed when
hey notified they had provided for my
equest in the bill.
"Just as soon as could get away
went to Maine on nilsson for Far
o college to see if could procure a
ertain donation which had sort of
cen offered. 1t must have been the
lange from the intense heat Of WASH
gton to the cool breezes of Maine
'at caused my illness, for the very
'st night after my arrival I felt bad
and my temperature began to rise.
AFTER a complete rest at Southport,
e., felt sufficiently recuperated to
turn home to begin the activeness Of
e campaign.
~ just feel fine this morning and
We met great number Of my
lends who have called both at my
use and at the Office. In fact I
yer felt in better spirits or health in
'rting in any campaign than do
hit now"
Tomorrow afternoon Mr.. Hanna
j go to Mandan where he will speak
the Mandan fair. This en-.
cement was made some months
, and in order to fill it is why the
ior congressman returned home
;urday, as he was asked to remain
