These reformers who are going about
telling the people to steer clear of the
other fellow, should generally be
watched. In this county we have a
few Of those fellows, who claim to be
the only "simon pure' ones, who are
going to be the great b~enefactors. Lat.
er on We will probably see some of
them out stumping the state for Andy
Miller and .Burdick, but they will not
tell you that they are corporation law
yers and interested In various corpor.
atoms. They will be saying one thing
and really doing the other. 1t will be
a good deal like the Great Northern
road when johnson was running for
governor against Burke. It was hand
ed out that the Great Northern would
be with johnson, but about the time
Burke was elected Louis Hill was hunt
ing on Dry Lake in this county, and
when the news of Burke's election was
given him, he rubbed his hands and
remarked: "That's fine, That's fne."
1t really showed his feelings, and
where he stood during the campaign.
The voters should study the situation
out for themselves, and not be led
.astray by SONG fellows, who are "hol-
lering" reform, simply because they
have an ak to grind.

we believe that his candidacy 5 the
senate at this time can. be of no great
benefit to u state, and that he would
do us much better service to re-.
main in his present position. We are
now ably represented in the senate by
Messrs. Gronna and McCumber, and
the years of experience these men have
had at Washington better fits them
for the position than any new man,
and provided Mr.. Worst had the abil
ity, it would take him a number Of
years to gain the same prestige that
our senators have gained through ex-
perience and acquaintanceship. If
Mr.. Worst should be nominated and
elected it would mean the retirement
of Senator Gronna, and thereby the
people Of this state would lose an old
and valuable member Of the senate for
a new and untried man. It would be
like swapping horses while crossing a
stream, and we believe that our pee.
pie are going to be very reluctant in
dropping a man like MI. Gronna for
Worst. It is a we'll known fact that
it takes a senator down at Washing
ton years to gain a standing and rec
ignition and every time We make a
change it is to the detriment of our
state, so long as we have such able
men as Mr.. Gronna to represent us.
Then why keep changing' In the in
terests of the state of North Dakota
we deem it very unwise at this time
to think of making any change, and
feel that Mr.. Worst is making one
Of the big mistakes Of his life in Drop
ping the work he has been carrying
out with so much success to try and
break into the q. s. senate, thereby
~displacing n of the most valuable
members this state has ever had in the
person Of A. j. Gronna. We do not
believe for a minute that the people
will stand for it and when the pri-
maries are over and the votes ere
counted We believe that Mr.. Worst
will learn of his blunder.

GEO. w1Nsa1P ON GOV. HANNA.
Several days ago there appeared in
the Grand Forks Herald a communica.
ton from George Winship, the former
editor, and among other things, he
says:
"In a strictly political way, I have
not been very closely associated in the
past with Gov. Hanna. He has not
been progressive enough for me along
many lines Of political activity, and he
seemed unwilling to assume the duties
and responsibilities of progressive
leadership but I regard his administra-
ion Of state affairs as eminently pro-
gressive, efficient and economical. Gov.
Hanna is a trained business man, and
having made good in his own affairs,
he brought to the state an equipment
in business training and broad grasp
of big finances such as the state needs
in its executive office; and I should
say that if Gov. Hanna is disposed to
render the state further service as gov
ernor for another term, his offer
should be accepted and a contract for
warded at once for his signature. That
is the way the baseball clubs do, when
they find a good batter or pitcher; and
the game Of managing the business of
a state is about as important as run
ming bases or catching flies. I will
concede that all the other gubernator-
ial candidates possess the necessary
qualifications for good executives, but
L believe, in a business way, Governor
is their superior, and that hav-
ing served one term with eminent sue
cess, the second one should be handed
to him on a silver platter, as it were."

Hanna is recognized the state over
as a real business governor, and it is
natural that be should be as he is a
real business man and his practical
knowledge amply fits him for the po-
sition he is now filing. That is about
all the taxpayers Of the state care for.

given him some office.

The fact that this paper put in; .
bid and got the contract for county
printing at a saving of 10 per CEN to
the taxpayers Of the county, seems to
be the cause Of q great "hubbubO
down at the 'only democratic daily".
It plainly shows that they were not
interested in saving the taxpayers'

out a roar that is really painful. It
is so sad to think the can't get their

A mixture of grain | find always
gives me better results than any single
variety fed alone. When cattle are
put on a heavy ration of grain they
make rapid gains for a time. perhaps
for two months. and then they seem to
come to a standstill and make little or
no improvement. Therefore the point
to be determined is not the amount of
grain we Il get an animal to con-
sumo, but the amount it is able to
digest and assimilate properly.
I do not know Of any grain that will
put so good a finish on cattle as peas.
I refer to Canadian field peas. A little
pea meal fed during the last few
weeks of the feeding season makes the
cattle more. firm. and they weigh a lit
tie better. but this must be fed in
small quantities to give the desired re-
sult.
