TUESDAY, JUNE %, 1914.
TO HOME VOTERS!

If loyal and efficient service to the
state entities a man to a renomina-
ton n a reelection Governor Hanna
should be given an overwhelming vote
tomorrow and a great majority in No
vember. Fitted by long years of bust
ness experience, having been a mem
Der Of both branches of the legislature
and for two terms a member of con-
gress, Governor Hanna brought to the
office of governor special qualifications
rarely possessed by men who become
chief executives Of a state.
Having practically retired from &C
tive business life he has been able to
devote almost his entire time to the
duties Of his office. He has Travelled
into practically every county Of the
state during his term, has become init
mately acquainted with local condi-
tons in all sections and is familiar
with the conditions that exist in all,
parts Of North Dakota.
He has studied the situation and has
been able to give the taxpayers the
benefit of his wide experience as a
fnancier, the results of which have
been to reduce the states indebtedness
100000 in less than eighteen months
and at the same time make the tax
levy for 1913 lower than since state
hood. He has devoted his time and.
attention to the state as closely as the
aaverage man does to his private BUSH
ness affairs.
The governor is naturally proud Of
his splendid record and his friends are,
elated Over the showing. The COVER
nor has inaugurated many reforms
which he is anxious to carry through
and would like a second term 70 &C,
complish the objects he has in view.
His enforcement of the laws as he
has found them on the statutes, his
devotion to the best interests Of the
state, his effort to conduct an admin
~istration along clean, wholesome and
moral lines, it seems to The Forum,
should be appreciated by the people
who have the best interests of North
Dakota at heart.
Cass county is the home of Governor
Hanna and the city of Fargo and all
OF Cass county should and will give
him the endorsement that is his due
from the people who know him best.
For many years prior to removing to
Fargo he lived at Page and he has
always taken a prominent part in the
advancement Of the best interests of
North Dakota.
This interest has been manifest es-
pecially in Fargo by the prompt re-
kWays, made whenever an appea went
kforthsfor some local institution or any
klocal enterprise. Mr.. Hanna was
BlargelyS responsible in saving Fargo
Ecolleges and in every other big move
kmeut to advance the interests Of Far
sgo heahas been at the forefront, with
Fhis money, his time n his influence.
One of the fool arguments that
shaUe been advanced in opposition to
RMr. Hanna was the fact that he as a
s1nember of a committee, solicited Jas.
y. Hill on behalf Of Fargo college, this
kbeing constructed as putting Mr..
kHanna under obligations to the rail-
EToads." This is a fair sample of the
kweight ofsall the arguments that have
Ebeen used during the present campaign
land The Forum believes that Mr..
fHanna's home people. both in Fargo
hand throughout Cass county, who
kknow Mr.. Hanna for what he is-a
kcapable, conscientious public servant,
Eand a splendid Christian gentleman
bwill show their resentment Of such
Gactics by turning tomorrow and
Egiving the governor an overwhelming
hwote Of endorsement in his home pre-
Ecincts.
Neglecting his own campaign to
further the interests of the state and
Ito attract needed immigration and
capital to North Dakota the governor
Ehas gone to Norway, Sweden and Den
Fmark IN a duty that could not we'll
be entrusted to others. His self
sacrifice should be reciprocated by the
tpeople of the site in whose interests
The. is 10 Loyalty working and he
should be given a splendid vote that
will insure his denomination to his
present position.
Go to the polls tomorrow and vote
for L. B. Hanna for governor.
