The republican state platform
heartily endorses Governor Hanna and
his administration. Hanna tried to
kill the tax commission and is hostile
to it. The platform by indirect Ian
guage endorses his hostility to the
tax commission. Do the people en-
dorse Hanna's hostile attitude toward
the tax commission? The question
is squarely up before them and they
have an opportunity to say as to their
attitude.

The people of North Dakota shot

The people of North Dakota should
look closely into the record of Sena-
tor Gronna when they come to vote
for him this fall. They should learn
his voting record in the United States
senate during the past year for in
stance. He voted against three very
the people. He voted against free
seeds for the farmers; against estab-
fishing regional reserve banks and the
currency bill, and against giving the
people of San Francisco a good water
supply. On six very important meas
ures he didn't vote at all. An ex-
cellent record for the North Dakota
junior senator.
