farmers and homesteadsrs' best friend,
viii win the gubernatorial honors in a
walkaway. 1t is the farmers vote
tnat counts in this state, and each and
every n will do well to place an Y
after Hanna's name at the November
election.
Dickinson Recorder-Pos we are
guessing that the voters Of North Da-
kota want a good business administra-
ton rather than a theoretical one, to
the extent that L. r. Hanna will re-
ceive the largest number of votes given
any man for the Office of governor in
North Dakota since statehood; Lauder
ct al. to the contrary notwithstanding.
Edmore HeraId-News: II has been
years since h political situation has
been so complicated, but we believe
fthat in the long run the problem will
solve itself and that peace and harmony
VIII come from what now appears to be
a chaotic condition. Since 1854 when the
republican party was formed from, an
or shoot Of the whig party there has
been two great parties ~contending for
supremacy, the republican and demo-
cratic. A third party has now spTung
into existence, known as the progress
stve party, n this party promises to
reach some magnitude. At the present
time we have three candidates for the
presidency, Taft. Wilson and Roosevelt,
AS a rule the American people are a
thinking class of people ana we feel
that in this great campaign they are
going to do considerable thinking and
studying before they cast their ballot
this fall, and then they are going to
vote for the man who most nearly rep
resents their views, Both Taft and
chair n their policies are well es-
tablished. Should either of them be
elected his fall the people may know
what kind of an administration to ex-
meet WfIennia NnIftton1 nnrnnr hor
been a limited one, and so far as know
ing what to expect should he be elect
ed, he is an unknown quantity. 1t is
up to the people inc we ave full con-
hdence in their ability TO make a wise
selection in the matter. and that the
present prosperous times may continue.
Edmore Herald-News: Senator Gron-
ma has expressed himself in the matter
Of putting UP a third ticket in North
Dakota, and his opinion is that 1t
would be unwise. We heartily agree
with Mr.. Gronna. If the republicans
business rel to the democrats, they
can easily do IL by putting a third tick
ct in the field, but If they wish to see
the republican state ticket elected, they
had better let we'll enough alone and
stand by the ticket as nominated. It
Is a good ticket.
Warwick Sentinel: The editor Of this
newspaper has always believed that
Hon. Louis B. Hanna was the best quail
flied nan for the position Of governor.
A man who has successfully conducted
his personal affairs in North Dakota
for the past twenty-five years; held
positions Of rus and honor in his home
city-Fargo; at present holding the
position of congressman from North
Dakota; a man who has been instru-
mental in passing a large number of
valuable avs for the people of his
state; a man who as state legislator
earnestly and conscientiously repre-
scented the people of his district-now
we candidly ask why should he not be
a man who If elected governor would
give the people of North Dakota a
clean business administration?
Republicans in this state 1T they are
loyal to their party should give L. B.
Hanna their united support. Hanna
carried on a clean and fair campaign,
especially so, and If there were any
underhanded methods used, 1t was
lone by the other fellow and we dare
any man in North Dakota of accusing
the able statesman of securing amy
support by questionable procedure.
Again, we say! Republicans should
stand by their man, for-"United we
stand and divided we fall"
