difference to the people Of this state
to what political party the governor
belongs, but it does make a great deal
of difference as to what kind OF a bus
mess man he is. The revenues Of the
state are now very large. but on the
other hand the needs are yet greater
than the evenue. 1t needs a firm hand
at the helm to keep our ship of state
sailing along and yet not spread more
canvas than can be safely carried.
Governor Hanna has a good record as
a business man both as a private citi-
zen and IS governor, and there is no
good reason for a change.
The announcement Of Gov. L. 3.
Hanna that he will make the race for
reelection to the high Office of gov
ernor Of this state will be received
with great pleasure by the majority of
the people of this state, regardless of
their political affiliations. Mr.. Hanna
has made an excellent chief executive,
and 1t is no more than fair that he
should be returned for another term.
Finley Beacon: Governor Hanna has
sent out his announcement that he is
a. candidat- for d second term. We
believe, Mr.. Hanna is entitled to an
other term. He had a hard fight for
his first nomination, and he has made
good as governor, and another term is
necessary to give him time to develop
the work he has in hand. Mr.. Hanna
believes the governors should be elect
ed for four years., and be ineligible for
a second term. We believe in the first
half of that proposition, but do not be-
lieve in limiting terms of office for any
man., except by a vote Of the people
you can trust the voters to get rid of
a man who is not suitable as a rule.
Cavalier Chronicle: Gov. L. B. Han
ma has formally announced his candi-
dacy for the nomination for governor
on the republican ticket to succeed
himself. He has surely made good so
far as the states chief executive and
is just in the midst OF new work for
the states betterment which he should
be given a second term to complete.
His character as a mar and his ad-
m1nistration of public affairs are I'M
assailable. Now, whats the matter
with Hanna" for denomination and
election? 1t surely looks very much
as if the people will say amen by their
votes at the polls in June and Novem-
ber..
Walhalla MountaIneer: Governor
Hanna has made his announcement in
the state press that he will again be a
candidate for the office of chief exec
utive, and that his action Is pleasing
to his friends all over the state goes
without saying-and it is also pleasing
to know that he has many more
friends now tina when he made his
first campaign two ago The
people have come to know him better,
to trust and admire him, and have
found on. that he is not adorned with
the horns n hoofs that his enemies
ascribed to him at that time. He has
given the state one of the most able,
if not the ablest administration in it's
history. and during the year and a
quarter that he has filled the govern
or's chair. he has been the governor
and not the tool of politicians or a fig
urehead. In fact, it has been evident
from the time that he made his first
appointments, that he was stopping to
the state without reference to party
affiliations. His announcement will
mean his selection as a candidate and
his election as governor for two years
more. "
Mandan Republican: The Republi-
can believes the people. of North Da-
kota will see and take advantage of
their opportunity of retaining at the
J head of their governmental affairs a
man Of such marked ability, and OF
the proved integrity OF Governor
Hanna.
Edgeley Mail: This issue Of The
Mail prints the announcement Of Gov
ernor Hanna in which he asks for a
other nomination for a second term as
governor Of the state. The announce
ment makes good reading and shows
where the governor stands in regard
to- the real development or the state.
1T is like the governor--straightfor-
ward and to the point.

In the field, the outcome OF the cleo
ton should not be much to be doubted,
as no formidable opponent to the
Il present governor has as yet appeared,

with the second term before him, Gov.
