SOME MORE MISTAKES
or GOVERNOR HANNA's

Governor Hanna has rather an
unfortunate habit of claiming
credit for much that he is not en-
titled to credit for. In his an
swer to and copied from the
Plaza Pioneer, in the last week s
Search Light, Governor Hanna
tells about a bill he introduced
for loaning the school funds OF
the state. He claims to be the
author of the Bill that finally
passed and would have the peo-
pie believe that he introduced the
first bill for that purpose.
Mr.. Strom had introduced a bill
in the legislature prior to the
Legislative assembly in which Mr..
Hanna introduced q bill, and that
in fact in a later legislature it
was the bill Of Mr.. Strom that
passed and became a law.
Hanna is claiming credit in
this respect that he is not enti-
tied to, the same as, he claimed
credit in his statement about the
payment Of the debts of the
state, of bonds, as though it was
money that he had managed un-
der his administration to get to
pay the debts with, when as a
matter Of fact, it was funds ac-
c,,mulated by a provision of law,
that had been Eihng up and
which had been available, ormost
|'of it, for payment for some time.
Mr.. Hanna it ako will be re-
membered allowed to 60 abroad
in his press reports last year, the
idea that he had paid every old
soldier FROM this state, or gave
to them, 1900 each out Of his
own. funds when they were ready
to return from Gettysburg, when
as q matter Of fact, it was state
funds. The Governor surely
ought not to permit these ideas
to 90 abroad and ought not to
claim credit for himself to which
he is not entitled. It is unfair
to the people, and if he is q
man Of such great business ahli-
|ty and fine administrative abili-
II as he claims, surely there is
no necessity for doing 30.

FARMERS HAVE BOUGHT
MANY PURE BRED CATTL.:

During February an excursion
of Williams county farmers went
to Wisconsin to study the success
full dairying methods in that
state. The members Of the ex-
cursion were taken to the Agri-
cultural College and also visit
ed a number Of the finest dairy
farms Of Wisconsin. What the
North Dakota farmers saw there
so impressed them that since
their return home they have pur-
chased more than 800 high grade
and pure bred dairy cattle, most
of them from Wisconsin. Will
hams is one Of the comparative
ly new counties of the state and
the farmers are alive to the great
prosperity following modern
dhirying. What farmers of Will
lams county are doing should be
done by the farmers of the Red
River Valley. More cows, corn
and clover, more pork and sheep
will in a few short years advance
the price Of land in this section
of the state from $25 to $50 per
acre. The day of small grain
farming is rapidly passing, and
the quicker this is realized by our
farmers the better it will be for
all concerned.-St. Thomas Times

tabbe to one who follows the state
exchanges and finds that the
newspapers who first acknowledg
led the receipt of ,Hanna's re-
IneWal Of subscription, have since
|given much space to Mr.. Bur
dick.
Ten newspapers in the state
during the past week which a
month ago were singing praises
Iof Hanna have found that their
tune was not popular and have
had to strike another chord, the
result being that Burdick is con-
sidered the right man in the
right place, when he becomes
governor Of North Dakota.
Even the newspapers who will
until the final day be staunch
supporters Of Hanna, have all
had to admit that Burdick was
a man. They have admitted his
qualities, because they have had
to, knowing full we'll that be-
cause Burdick is man, the peo-
pie will elect him, and they do
not care to have any sting Of
their oppression in evidence when
he becomes governor.
1t is now no longer question
Of whether Mr.. Burdick wall be
nominated, but rather question
| of how bad will Hanna be de-
8eated at the primaries, and in
order to make the victory a good
one every effort is being put
forth. It is naturally a delight
to see each week a new newspa-
per advocate Of Mr.. Burdick,
especially when the newspaper
has hitherto been on the side of
4 Hanna.
When we say that Hanna is
losing ground, we mean that we
tAave given him all he had after
the last election. 1t was the im-
it. Of his strength. From this
point we have taken him down
by peg, in each county where he
has lost those whom he called
his friends, because of his fizzle
as a governor and because a
better man wants the job.
Hanna s ambitious candidacy
that has kept him away from BIS,
marck for the last six months,
| neglecting the duties Of the
state, while he endeayoned to
fix up fences on his julnketing
i trip, shows in itself that he is

there and has made this county

Lean county has fzzled and the1

field. This is not news to anyone
who understands politics, for this
lis no presidential election year
and there is no Roosevelt on other
election years. What puzzles the
people is that Met Culloch, an old
hand at the political game, came
to realize it so late in the cam
paign.
4 Alex Miller of Max, N. D., was
at Turtle Lake Saturday in the
interest Of his candidacy for the
office of county sheriff. Mr.. Mil
Ter was one Of the earliest candi-
dates in the field. His wide ac-

popular with the voters.
