administration in his plea for votes
while his 6pponents offer nothing but
theories and promises.
We don't believe that the voters O
North Dakota will take long to make
a selection.
The voters of the state, of whatever
party or faction, however, wish Gov
ernor Hanna a safe journey n a safe
return. He goes as "a representative
Of this sovereign state. The Tribune
trusts his mission will be profitable
for the state. 1t should advertise ouI
advantages, and Governor Hanna
doubtless will return better equipped
to serve the state in the future. !
Bon Voyage.
Dunhoff Voice: If you want re-sub-
mission, go at it in the right way,
Even then you won't get 1t. The only
way to get resubmission is to elect
members to the legislature who favor
it. You can't get 1t by voting for
Wishek; you will throw away your
vote If you vote for Hanna, you will
get a business administration by a
business man; that is what is need
ed to reduce taxes.
Neche Chronotype: There seems
little doubt but that Governor Hanna
will secure the denomination for gov
ernor in Pembina county over Burdick
by two to one. Pembina county is, one
of the strongest Hanna. counties In the
state, and will give our present eff
cent governor a larger majority than
ever this year.
Grand Forks Herald: The riotous
demonstration at South Dickinson the
| other day, when a speaker in favor or
woman suffrage was dragged from the
platform while the crowd shouted W
want the saloons back" and Women
should stay at home" was a discredit-
able thing, and one, fortunately, very
rare in the state of North Dakota
where political contests grow about
as warm as they do anywhere.
The speaker was addressing a gath
ering of German settlers, in a district
where saloon sentiment is strong. 1t
is a we'll known fact that certain op-
ponents of Governor Hanna, who dis
like him, not because of any differ
ence of opinion on state or national
policy but solely for personal reasons,
have attempted to capitalize this sem
timent in some German speaking COM
munities, and to build on it a move
ment to withdraw votes from the row.
ernor, and thus to insure his defeat.
This movement has gained some head
way. There are indications, however,
that the we have ~over-reached
themselves. and that the character Of
this part of the campaign has been a
decided reaction. Governor Hanna is
in favor of the enforcement of the
laws of the state. He has sought to
have the avs enforced. He is. more
over, in favor of the retention OF the
prohibition law, and has said so on
many occasions. And, while this at
titude may cost him a few votes
among people who permit themselves
to be used for political purposes, it is
not at all likely that the great mass of
zens in North Dakota will permit such
a campaign to be successful.
Mimic Journal: Governor Hanna and
family with a party of North Dakotans
are in New York and to leave Friday
for Norway where they will attend the
exercises on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Day, July 4. when Lincoln Memorial
will be presented to the people of that
country. Before going he submitted a
statement which was published in the
Grand Forks Herald, and which we
are sorry that time and space pre-
vent us from producing this week. 1t

idea of practical and business like
ideas of conducting the affairs of the
state. Governor Hanna leaves the re-
suit as to his denomination and cleo
ton entirely in the hands of the peo-
pie. They are to decide at the polls
at the primaries whether he is to be
the republican candidate this fall. This
we fee Is beyond, a shadow of a doubt,
and his denomination means his re-
election in November.
Lisbon Free Press: What is the
meaning of the "Wishek' candidacy
for governor on a platform for "resub-
mission" and opposed to woman Suf-
frage' n who is backing the
movement up? These are per-
tinent questions. Many Of our
German friends, church members and
farmers. are repudiating connection
with the German alliance movement
and candidates because it places them
in the position of advocating a return
to the licensed saloon. This movement
for Wishek and against Woman Suf-
frage is being Misunderstanding to

Combine as an entering wedge. They
