COMMENTS ON ENDORSEMENT
OF WORST FOR U.S.. SENATE

Underwood Journal: A surprise was
sprung at the Grain Growers onven
Etion held at-Fargo, endorsing J. H.
Worst of the Fargo Agricultural col
lege for United States senator at the
coming primaries. 1t is further given
that he would accept the invitation
and become a candidate.
Casselton Reporter: The Grain
Growers adopted resolutions faVoring
President Worst for the senate. Mr..
Worst voiced his appreciation, of
course, but his acceptance of the hon
or hasn't been recorded. He has made
a grand official for the agricultural
college and become a power in lead
ership of the farming as well as edu-
cational community. 1t is open to
argument whether a political cam
paign-successful or not-would bene-
fit him.
Lisbon Free Press: Among the sur
| priseS that came with the presence or
the recent Tri-State Grain Growers
convention at Fargo last week was the
passage of a, resolution asking Pres.
John H. Worst of the agricultural col
lege to consent to become a candidate
at the primaries for United States sen
ator. The call appeared to have the

present, and If President Worst con-
cludes to "shy his castor into the ring
he will prove a formidable rival to
both Senator Gronna and Attorney
General Miller. This is an agricul-
tural state, and with other things be-
ing equal, what more natural than the
president of an agricultural college,
with twenty-five years Of loyal service
behind him, carrying the banner of the
farmers to victory.
Worst is not only q fine orator, but
he understands our needs as an agri-
cultural constituency and II he is
chosen as standard bearer of the re-
publican party he will be a fine ex-
ample of surviving worth. He will be
a progressive without rant, a mar
who can interpret our desires, in acts,
which will promote our agricultural
progress. IF President Worst con-
| cludes to answer this call many VIII
gladly vote for him.
Milton Globe: Much pressure is be-
ing brought to bear upon j. Fl. Worst
president of the state agricultural col
Iege, to make the race for the sena-
torial toga. President Worst has q
large following of friends, is q true
| fhiend of the farmers, and would un-
doubtedly prove a lively factor in the
campaign should he consent to run.

The only thing that it seems could bt

somewhere in the state a young man 0
