praised him for that stand. Upon his

THE CONTEST IN THE SECOND
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,

An interesting contest is being
waged in the Second Congressional
district between George NJ. Young,
the present congressman from that
district, and Col. w. P. futile of Daw-
on. Two years ago, there were five
candidates seeking the nomination in
the district and the primaries result
ed in the nomination of Mr.. Young
with Colonel futile getting second
place with only a few votes differ
ence. This year conditions have
changed. There is a clean cut fight
between Mr.. Young a1d Col. futile.
Two years ago Mr.. Young published
a platform as long as the moral law
of things he would do if elected to
congress and his slogan was LET
GEORGE DO IT." During the past
two years his constituents have pa
tiently waited for results of some
kind, some little act at least, of
craftsmanship from their MAJ in
Congress who was going Ito do it,"
They have been doomed to bitter dis
appointed, and have arrived at the
conclusion that Mr.. Young has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting"
If all signs do not fail, the people
are going ITO do 1t" themselves this
time and will nominate and elect
Col. W. P. futile, a man of brains
and ability. who a accomplish
things, if elected to Congress, which
will not only be for the credit and
honor of the people of the Second
Congressional district, but for the
benefit of the entire state.-Optic
Reporter.

With the Editors
For FUTILE NOW.

81 voted for Young two years ago,
but Pm going to cast my ballot for
Col. futile this time," a prominent
business man was heard to say after
the two candidates had visited Town.

are lots of voters over the district
who are going to do that very thing.

HANNA'S STATEMENT.

Governor Hanna will leave this
week for Norway to present North
Dakota's tribute to that nation upon
the occasion of it's centenary of indie.
pendence. What better evidence Of
Hanna's appreciation for what that
nation has done; what it has contrib.
uted to the commercial, moral and in.
tellectual advancement of this state,
than this trip in the heat of a cam
paign?
But Governor Hanna has stated the
case briefly. If the people of North
Dakota want him for governor again,
we'll and good. He is not an office
seeker in the small sense of the word
and will only accept the responsible
ity of public service at the behest of
the people.
Governor Hanna has not made a
political speech while governor. He
has attended closely to official duties.
He left Fargo last night for his
long journey with a light heart, will.
ing to leave his political fortunes to
the just and dispassionate arbitra.
ment of North Dakota's electorate.
What little campaigning he has
done has been clean and dignified,
betting the high Office he holds. One
opposing candidate has waged an un.
fair campaign. Whether it was his
fault. personally, or just the intern
perate acts of his friends, we know
not, and we care not, but we do know
that Hanna has increased in strength
the last few days and his political
stock will continue to soar.
Governor Hanna has been maligned
unfairly for a presumed stand on in
terest rates. He disposes with this
issue In the following words:
~ believe the bankers and Dor.
rowers, alike, will welcome a re.
ductlon in the rate Of interest and
shall be glad to use my inf,u-
ence to bring that about.
Acts are better than theories and
results more substantial than prom
Uses. Governor Hanna's statement
gives the acts and the results of his
administration in his plea for votes,
while his opponents offer nothing but
theories and promises.
= We don't believe that the voters of
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 and 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 our
advantages and Governor Hanna
doubtless will return better eouipped
to serve the state in the future.
Bon Voyage.

Monday. While here, Mr.. futile was
a caller at this Office and we regret

and has a good chance of winning
over YOung.-klOx Advocate.
