The North Dakota political plot is 4
just beginning to simmer. The failure
of Governor Hanna to harmonize the
warning factions of the party practic-
ally puts him among the discards and {
speculation is rife as to who will be
the progressive and standpat candi-
dates of the republican party. 1t Is

state insurance commissioner, is res
