Willow City Eagle: The promised

cans that was to blow the Hanna band
wagon skyward was prematurely ex-
ploded in this county last week by
State Senator Gardens Souris Mes
senger, and harmed no one except pos
s1bly the senator, who had spent some
time in writing the article. The only
statement that could possibly do any
harm, If true, is the following:
"Hanna's press bureau circulated the
report last year that Hanna had
showed his wonderful generosity in
presenting each old Vet. with ten dol
lars in gold on the occasion Of their
visit to the Gettysburg
or course Hanna was willing to receive
the benefit of this advertising, when
he knew it was a lie. Just that and
nothing else. The fact of the matter
was that the taxpayers Of North Da-
kota paid each soldier his ten dollars.
What seems remarkable is that a man
occupying the chair of the chief exec
utive of the state should be willing to
be the beneficiary Of such a cheap mis-
statement of the facts"
The above is untrue and Senator
Garden knew it was untrue when he
penned n had 1t published in his
paper. Governor Hanna was not even
present when the money was handed
to h old soldiers. 1t being a residue
of the appropriation by the state made

make the trip, and Governor Hanna,

dishonest methods. being used in his
behalf then he ought to be defeated.
But we do not believe he would sanction
such methods.
Valley City Courier: It is the
Courier's prediction that no man run
ming for governor on a resubmission
platform will receive very much sup
port from the voters of his state. The
bition has done for this state has been
so firmly rooted in. the minds of the
people of this state that we verify
believe there will never be a revoca-
ton of the present ~prohibitory law.
Much of the prosr Gritty and peace of
mind of the people are due to this
splendid law. People say that the law
does not prohibit. What nonsense.
Just go out and try and sell booze and
see how long you will run at large
without being prohibited. The law
against burglary and murder does not
prohibit either, but it holds these
crimes pretty well in check just the
same. So it is with the prohibition
law. If the law Toe not prohibit.

Flasher Hustler: Neither Hanna
Burdick nor Wishek can give you
an opportunity to vote on resubmis-

That power rests with the legisla-
ture alone-and the man who tells
you, different Is either ignorant of the
subject on which he is talking or else
he is Intentionally dishonest.
