The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1914-02-13

OF Williston is to be a candidate loF
gubernatorial honors against Q T.
B. Hanna-much against his W per
sonal inclination. This was decloed a.
Fargo Thursday of last week When the
progressive republicans met n IN
dorsed him as their candidate. Inc
Record bears no ill-will toward MI.
Burdfck n would be pleased 10 see
him successfully advance his poiltlcai
fortunes-under certain conditions.
However, he is not entitled to consld-
GRAFTON at this time as compared 70
l.. B. Hanna. Mr.. Hanna is serving
his first term as governor OF North
Dakota, and the businesslike n
in which his administration has been
conducted entities him to the courtesy
of a second term. Burdick's candidacy
in 1915 would be a different matter.
Wahpeton Globe Gazette: It is ex-
pected that Governor Hanna will an
nounce his candidacy for reelection at
an early date and it now appears that
former Lieutenant Governor Burdick
will be his opponent for the republican
nomination. Efforts are being made to
combine the opposition to the govern
or on Burdick but we doubt If eve in
that event that MFR. Hanna can be de-
feated either in the primary or the fall
y Nv ~ " L $3.50 Ittbo
North Dakota q most businesslike ad-
ministration and each month the state
is in better financial condition because
Of his careful management. 1t isn't
likely that the taxpayers will desire a
change. .-. e
Cavalier County Republican,, The
political features of the recent meet
ing of the State Grain Growers asso-
citation seem to be attracting more
attention than the regular work Of the
association. These meetings gather
from almost every corner and town
ship Of the state the men who are in
terested in everything done of a pub
lie character, and state politics come
in for a fair share of attention. At
the meeting held last week the pro-
gressive republican organization held
a meeting and elected officers for the
coming campaign. The congressional
Of the state completed their
organizations and the program calls
for county organizations which will
work in harmony with the congress
sional and state organizations for the
of progressive republicans
thee oming primary in June. The
three North Dakota congressman are
all progressive republicans, and so are
a number OF the state officers. Some
of the state officers were elected as
progressives but when affairs came to
down INC the strings were pull
ri they turned turtle. The meeting
was practically unanimous in their
choice of u. L. Burdick for governor,
though some were not in favor of
making endorsements at this time. Mr..
Burdick enjoys a wide and favorable
acquaintance throughout the state, and
in all of the offices hat he has filled
his services have been very satisfac-
tory to the public and he has made
good under some very trying condi-
tons. So far as we have been able to
learn Governor Hanna has not as yet
given out any information as to what
he proposes to do this year. Undoubt-
eddy the governor would like to repre-
sent this state in the U. S. senate, but
whether this is the time to make the
attempt or not is probably undeter-
mined. j. S. Gogin of O~snabrock, who
is the democratic candidate for con-
gross, was one of the speakers at the
Grain Growers meeting and in his flf-
teen -minute address on the Conserva-
ton Of Home, gave his democratic
friends the opportunity of taking his
measure as a leader in the congress
s1onal fight this year. His ideas were
very clearly stated and appreciated by
the audience. To date his candidacy
appears the most formidable of any of
the democrats who have made known
their intentions as to the congression-
al race against Representative Helge-
son. If Worst and Burdick finally
decide to become candidates for the
offices as mentioned some of the slate
makers who have been busy on the job
for the last month or more will find it
necessary to make few changes in
the lineup of candidates that have
Neen presented by n dope writer's.
