tianS. John II. Worst is the man
who can accomplish this and more,
and the friends Of republicanism in
this state will demand that he take
the lead.
The writer has known Mr.. Worst
for a score or more Of years., being
his near neighbor when yet but an
infant. We can speak from person.
al knowledge when we say that Mr..
WorSt's proposed senatorial candi-
dacy will be the result of the office
seeking the an-an not the man
trying to corrall the public office.
AS yet he has not even agreed to be-
come a candidate for political hon
ors, but the public demand for such
a candidacy will be SO great that it
is certain he will accede.
Emmons county is the home coun-
ty of Mr.. Worst, this paper was the
first for which he subscribed after
coming to North Dakota and the
writer from earliest infancy has
been the recipient Of an intimate
friendship from him. 1t is with a
triple pleasure, then, that this paper
and its editor propose Pres. John H.
Worst. of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, as the unanimous
choice of all real republicans of all
colors or factions whatsoever for the
office of United States senator from
North Dakota in 1915.
Wahpeton Globe-Gazette: The
Globe Gazette hopes hat President
Worst of the agricultural college at
Fargo will become a candidate for
united States senator and that he
will be elected. North Dakota is an
agricultural state, our interests are
almost entirely agricultural. Presi-
dent Worst is perhaps best qualified
of any man in the state to represent
senate of the United States, a place
where he farming interests are poor
~ represented. President Worst
knows the needs of the agricultural
lists OF the northwest and he is cap
able of doing this section of the
country a world Of good as it's rep
resentatiVe in Washington. Besides
this, President Worst is not a faction
al politician and if sent to Washing
ton he would go there not as a, rem
resentatlVe of any party or faction,
but as a representative Of the entire
state Of North Dakota.

has "a mar who knows agricultural
conditions and who would at once
take his place as a leader in the SEN

The farming conditions of North
dakota SO far outweigh all other in
'terests that all factions n all parties
who are anxious for the best interests
or our state should insist that Worst
come out as candidate. The Journal
would recommend to it's readers. that
they at once write to President Worst
urging him to. make the race

Mistaken some form of official an
nouncement from him will be forth
coming in g. very short time. Presi-
dent Worst also stated that he would
not MAKE a campaign for the place,
but he is SO well known throughout the
state that a campaign is entirely UNI

North Dakota in the senate,

other politicians candidacy for an

be a candidate for the United States
senate to succeed Senator Gronna. He
would certainly make a good senator
