benevolent and a moral man. He
said he was also a rich man. He
said Governor Hanna was reput-
ed to be the richest man in
North Dakota-that Hanna was
the owner Of l02 quarters of
land in the eastern part Of the
state and was president. or d.
rectors Of 80 banks. He said
Governor Hanna belonged to the
rich or wealthy class in the state
and that he looked at and. view
ed. things from the standpoint Of
the wealthy class. He repeated
that Hanna was honest, but that
it was only natural and human
for him to continue as he had to
represent and favor the class that
he was a member of. Mr.. Bur-
dick said that Hanna's re-
cord as a state senator and as a
member Of congress and as gov
ernor allied him with "Big Bust
ness" He cited laws that Hanna
supported as senator and con-
gresham and laws that he vetoed
as governor to snbstantiate this
assertion. He said Hanna thought
and lived along the line Of "Big
Business" and he said the in
terests of the state did not need
the services Of a "Big Bust
ness'' governor.

Last October a new federal
game law went into effect; it
absolutely prohibits spring shoot
ing of game birds. Of course,
this is really in the interests Of
sportsmen, to protect the birds
while they are mating and nest
ing. The continued rapid de-
crease would soon mean extinc-
ton. This law is very drastic
and provides for fines as high
as $3.50. The state deputies are
instructed to report all suspicious
circumstances, and, to follow Wig:
orously all violations under the
federal as we'll as state laws. E.

the official, with a beaming smile
told him that it was unlawful to
sell malt, and that If he caught
him at it, he would prosecute
him. The man continued to sell
malt but was not caught at it
by this official. The expression
on the face Of the official and
his general demeanor toward the
law violator spoke palmer than
words that this official did not
care whether the law was vio-
lated or not and that no move

Of the state, and particularly

ment, and further, that all Off

showed that there was plenty Of
machinery in the state for the
enforcement of the law. Along
this Line Of argument, he said: =
IF every peace officer in this
state would regard seriously the
obligations of his oath, and at
tempt to do his duty, it would be
an easy task to enforce the law.
This is particularly true Of the
prohibition law. Our statutes

about 300 police officers, who
have notice or knowledge Of
any violations Of the prohibition
law to notify the state s attor-
ney and furnish him with the
names Of witnesses. If the
states attorney be notified by
any officer or person, or be
cognizant himself Of any viola

more to the list. And if the

an attorney to assist the state s
attorney, and this number is also
without limit. The governor
supervises the official conduct Of

It SO happens that Mr. BurdicA
is a native o North Dakota, be-
ing born in 1879, and he made
mention of Governor Hanna 8
bombast Of being a pioneer at
demonstrating in western Cass
county in the SOS where the
now governor during his perio-
deal visits to his claim, claims
he "batched it" and Topped
pancakes, and Mr.. Burdick said
that if this was am asset and q
claim for the governorship Of the
state, he reasoned Hanna had
nothing on him for during this
same period he. was. running
around on the praiiraiiiess in Reeptsseaal
county helping in gathering
buffalo bones. Mr.. Burdick said
he belonged to the middle. class
he was neither rich nor poor. He
said l per cent Of the popula-
ton in North Dakota was in the
rich or wealthy class and l
per cent of the population were
poor and was in the poor class
and! that SO per cent Of the
population were in the middle
class and were Of moderate CIR
cumstances. He said he belonged
to the great majority and said
he had the viewpoint Of the
great majority and when it came
to loking at public questions and
matters that concerned the
people he saw things and look
ed at things from his station in
life which was that Of the middle
class and he reasoned that his
