Minot Independent: Governor Han
ma, on his return to Bismarck. after
two months abroad, was accorded a
welcome such as an official seldom re-
.ceived. He was met by 5000 people,
who assembled on the lawn of the gov
ernor's mansion. AS the governors
train pulled into the station the band
struck up a lively air. The governor
was met by autos and escorted to the
mansion by Co. A. The address Of
welcome was given by General Will
'liam's to which the governor respond
ed. He spoke Of the banquet which he
attended in Christiania, which was at
tended by nearly 5000 people. The fine
band of st. Olof's college, which played
at the celebration received much praise
as did the singing of the chorus of 500
men which went from this country.
The governor said he did not hear
much war talk in Europe, though it
seemed that about every other man he
saw in Germany and France was O. SOL
der. They were evidently preparing
for war. He does not believe that the
wal can last long as the Of
the people will be greatly taxed and
the loss of life will be appalling.

Bismarck Palladium: The reception
given in Bismarck last Saturday even
ing in honor Of Governor Hanna on his
return to the capital city from his trip
to Norway. where he presented the
statue of Abraham Lincoln at the CEN
tennial exposition, vas a fitting DEM
onstration for a man who has the in
terests OF his state so sincere at heart,
and who has taken SO much unselfsh
pride in the commonwealth he has
chosen as his home.
Probably no man was eyer given a
greater ovation in North Dakota, but
at the same time no man was more de-
serving. Governor Hanna car almost
be numbered among the pioneers of
the state. He has always maintained
an abiding faith in the possibilities
of the state, and probably no ma has
been active and more sincere in the
welfare of the state and his people.
