The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1914-06-18
VOLUME x NO. 1888.
VOTE o WORST.

No man IN the present campaig'
has received stronger endorsements i
the press Of the state than has Joh1
II. Worst, republican candidate TO
the United States senate. Harry NJ
Case in The Neville Journal has tn
following reasons for supporting hi
candidacy:
Usually lawyers and men OF
great wealth T sent to the
United States senate. A reason-
able number Of such representa-
tiveS may do no great harm. In
, fact some of them seem devoted
to the general welfare, but to
give to the legal profession a
monopoly Of the law making pow
er Is not only unreasonable but
positively dangerous. There are
too many lawyers in he u. S.
senate now for the country's
good. All interests, however,
should be represented. AgriCul-
ture being the principal industry
Of this state we should have a
representative in the senate not
only thoroughly conversant with
agricultural problems, but in full
S$A11toGOAy q bASSS "+S
gagged In the business Of farming.
And we have such a man. Presi-
dent, John H. Worst Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college has
given the best years Of his life
to the study Of agriculture pro-
blems and has demonstrated his
loyalty 10 the interests Of the
people against the big interests.
Being a practical farmer he
knows. the needs of the farming
class Intensely progressive in
all political doctrines he will
champion whatever is for the
best interests Of the state whether
SUCH issues pertain to government
or 20 business. Not a truthful
word can be uttered against the
integrity of Mr.. Worst or against
his grasp of the vital issues with
witch the people Of this state are
concerned. The farmers Of the
state should take, pride in support
ing one of their own number for
the u. S. senate.
The. Journal is supporting Pres.
John II. Worst Of the A~gricultur-
al college for the United States
senate because it believes he is
the right man for the place. He
10 OaChCN ny ~ - IL
fact the money power IS out to
defeat him. He is a valuable as
set to this state and it behooves
the farmers and business men
Of this great agricultural, state to
nominate and elect him to go to
Washington to represent the
peoples interests. We hope
he gets q solid vote from Nelson
county and the state, and. he sure
ly ought to.
Here is another sentiment from The
New Rockford Transcript. 1t was
published before the rrmors of the old
machine being against Worst were
made public. In the light of recent
disclosures, The Transcript has
Observation-Disclosures in sizing UP
the. situation:
The primary election Is near at
hand and the political pot has
passed the simmeEing stage and is
now beginning to show signs Of
bnbbles, and things will be inter-
estfng for the next ten days. The
crafty politicians are getting in
their work, quietly, it is true, but
none the less noticeably. One Of
the most noticeable things Is the
fact that. the big fellows are
eyidently¬ supporting the can
dtdacy OF President J. H. Worst
for senator. It is currently re-
ported that MI. Worst's loyalty to
the common people-bo the farm
ers' and the working classes-pre-
cI1des the possibility Of the poll
t1cfa11S using him to accomplish
their ends, hence their secret OPP
position to his candidacy. 1t would
be refreshing If this great agricul-
tural state would have at least one
farmer representative in the Unit
ed States senate. President Worst
fills the bin. He has studied the
agricultural problems Of the state
as no other nan has and being Of
the plain people himself, his every
sympathy is for their prosperity
and social betterment. Mr.. Worst's
platform, boiled down, means that
he stands for whatever will best
serve the interests Of the state
and her producing people. Presi-
dent Worst's labors for a quarter
Of a century, give assurance of his
loyalty to the people. Think it
