fight is between Hanna and the field,
and with the situation as complicated
it Is this election it is the clear
duty of the voters to see that Hanna
is renominated. A vote for Burdick
lessons Hanna's chances. and at this
time adds but slightly to the posi-
bility Of Burdick being nominated, but
does make it quite probable tina the
third candidate wins. While person
ally MI. Burdick believes as firmly as
Mr.. Hanna in the keeping in the con-
stitution the prohibition amendment,
he is this year placed in an embar-
RAISING position for a vote this year
for Burdick is equivalent to a vote for
resubmission.
Adams Budget: 1t cannot help but
be noticed the clean in which
Governor Hanna is conducting his
campaign for denomination. No muck
raking or mud singing. He asks for
denomination upon his merits and
justly deserves it as the voters Of
North Dakota will prove at the pri-
maries..
Burdick may make a good executive
but his undertaking and mud singing
campaign against Hanna has hurt
him. Whether this n of a
campaign is carried on with Burdick's
sanction is not known, but considered
so. Be that as it may, even should
this not be the case, but instead Bur
dicks supporters have taken it upon
themselves to do the undertaking and
mud singing, then, they are harming
his candidacy more than doing it good
by exposing small principles.
Cavalier Chronicle: Not that we
appreciate Burdick less, but appreciate
Hanna more (though u personal love
for each is equaD. are we eager for
the denomination n election of Hon.
L. B. Hanna for governor. And, too,
the prohibition forces of the republi-
cans in this state ought not to be
divided in the support of a guberna-
tional candidate as between J.. H.
Wishek, an aVowed re-submission
candidate and some one else. Having
made good in his first term, by an ex-
c~eptionally brilliant administration Of
state affairs and the upholding and
strict enforcement of law, Governor
Hanna Is the logical candidate for re-
nomination and election, and the re-
publican prohibition forces should be
solid in their support of the movement
to bring about that end. We offer nc
