Our People at Bismarck

The Curb Stone man. Ben G. White
head, in the Bismarck Tribune. has
this to say about people out this way !:
c. C.. Turner of Gladstone is one of
the new representatives who is doing
we'll. He will help his district. Mr..
Turner is a land man and has made a
close study of conditions in western
North Dakota for q Rood many years.
He remained here for the vacation in
order that he might get better acqualnt-
ed and secure a more intimate know
ledge of the lay of the land. Keek your
eye on C. C.. Turner.
There is n man I sure want to
see," said Major Pete Pelissier, who
made Dickinson famous and who is now
abiding at Sheridan. Wyoming, when
not otherwise engaged. That man is
that Sam Clark fellow who sings bass
for Jim Jam .Jems and may some day
start a tragedy by telling the truth on
his friends.
Say" said c. c. Lawbaush, the
Halliday statesman. 't0ur county of
Dunn is the n best bet of all. You
mark my words. The farms are we'll
cultivated. the acreage titled is the
largest IN all the western portion of the
state, and the people are more prosper
GUS. They grow crops in my country,
and it is a of pride to me to
stand az q representative of so good a
country. You watch our county devel-
ope when we get a railroad"
r. M. Andrews of Beach and his
brother F. M. Andrews of Bowbells have
been in the city satisfying themselves
that all the laws to be introduced are
wholesome and up to the pure food
tests. Both of these men have made
good as lawyers and they have many
friends here.
Senator Hans P. jacobson of Mott
has been making q fine impression here
and he is the kind of man who will
grow in usefulness and influence. His
modesty as we'll as his intelligence has
won him many friends. He is an az
g~ressive fighter for the interests of his
district and there will be very lite get
past him. Senator jacobson is a mem
Der of the law firm of Murray & Jacob
son of Mott Mr.. Murray being the states
attorney and the democrat. They
WELD a strong influence in affairs down
there. Say is there anything doing
in the way of basketball games or
sports of any kind in Bismarck" asked
Robert J.. List representative from
Scranton Bowman county. Maybe I
hadn't ought tt be asking that al
though he corrected. "You know I'm
somewhat of a baseball player myself
and blamed if some fellows didn't try
to use that against me for campaign
purposes. guess they found that it
contributed to my popularity however,"
One Of the senate members who al
ready has a thorough knowledge of the
political game is Senator M. L. Nc
Bride of Dickinson. He is a graduate
of the Minnesota university and has
been a resident of Dickinson for nearly
eleven years. This is Mr.. McBride's
first term in the Legislature. but, judg-
ing from appearances, it will not be
his last. for he seems to be just the
right kind of a man for the job. The
subject of this sketch served three terms
as states attorney of Stark county.
and last fall was elected to the upper
branch of the legislature over a strong
democrat. who was high mar on the
legislative ticket two years ago in one
of the banner republican counties of
the state. Mr.. Mcbride is a republic
can, one of the progressive kind, but
does not believe in welding a club
from the outside. he thinks that one
could be used tt good advantage within
the party. The McBrides have always
been republicans. His parental grand
father, John Mcbride. fought in the
Black Hawk war with Abraham Lincoln,
was q warm personal friend of the
martyred president. and campaigned
for Lincoln when be first ran for men,
Der of the legislature in illinois. Sen
ator McBride's ancestors came to Amer
lea in 1882. Four Of the Mcbride
brothers were with Washington in the
battle of Brsddock's Defeat in 1756.
