GUNDERSON MEETS
WITH APPROVAL
THE APPOINTMENT or SENATOR
GuNoERsoN AS STATE BANK
EXAMINER MEETS WITH APP.
PRovAL or PROMINENT SANK
ERs-HoPE He WILL ACCEPT.

The announcement that Sen. John q.
Gunderson OF Aneta has been rendered
the position of state bank examiner by
Governor Hanna, seems to nave met
with general approval among the lead
ing business men of the city, many OF
whom expressed themselves on the
matter this morning.
One of the leading lnanciers Oh the
city and state who expressed Satfsfac-
ton with the announcement from Bis
marck and confidence in Senator
Gunderson, was Pres. T.. j. Weiser of
the First National bank Of the city OF
Fargo. who has known the Aneta sem
Eator since early boyhood.
My acquaintance with John Gund-
erson dates back to- his early boylIood,
said Mr.. Weiser in commenting upon
the matter this morning. HE was
born down near DEBORAH, Ia, where l
used to go to school with him. He
came TO this state a long time ago and
has been a most successful banker in
the years of his residence here. / con-
slider him one of the ablest, most care
ful and most competent bankers in
the state.
His appointment as state bank ex-
amineF Is a great surprise, but would
in my opinion be one Of the most help
full acquisitions to Governor HahHa's
administration. He is thoroughly a
business man, and from the selection
that is made IL would seem Mr.. Hanna
desires to surround himself with a
corps OF efficient IN capable business
men who will assist him In placing the
state upon a sound business founda-
tion. I trust Mr.. Gunderson win ac-
cept."
Irish Adds Praise.
There Is little I cannot say in prais-
Ing Senator Gunderson's business abil-
ity and integrity as a banker said
Vice Pres. Fred A. Irish of the First
National. He is one Of North Dak0tais
foremost and most enterprising bank
ers. Regardless Of any political afiili-
alton, ] think he would rake one Of
the best bank examiners the state has
ever known. He stands high in finan-
cial circles of North Dakota.
THAT he was rendered the place
came as a great surprise to me, as ii
did to all the bankers / have talked to
about il, / had no idea he was being
considered by Governor Hanna for the
position, but I think the selection is q
wise one"
H0IIistsr and Others.
Pres. George H. Hollister OF the
Northern Trust Co, when told Of the
announcement yesterday said: SEN
ator Gunderson's appointment as state
bank examiner is quite a surprise, but
I do not consider it unwise. The Aneta
banker stands well as a business man
and a banker and would make a COM
petent examiner. Because of his pre-
vious political alignment, his ~appoiRt-
ment may not please everyone. What
appointment does for that matter? But
no one can deny his business ability
nor beItttle that in critieising the APP
pointment.7
Other bankers and flnanciers eX-
pressed approval of the announcement,
although all OF them confessed their
surprise. 1T had been understood that
Colonel Heating headed the list Of
probabilities. and nearly all Of them
were watching for his appointment.

Dewey, Milwaukee, Wis. II have used
It for years both for my children
