CLANCY in the Oak saloon Monday
night, Mr.. Griffith received an ug->
ly wound over the eye, necessitat-
ing the attendance of a physician.
1t is not thought the skull bone
was fractured, but it is a painful
injury. 1t was alleged that he was
struck with an inst 'ument other
than the fist. This Mr.. CLANCY
emphatically denies. 1t is under
stood that bad feeling has existed
between the men for some time
past.-Rich Hill Review,
With the head of the nation a
peace loving man free from the
affliction of a heated intellect,
an increased military establish
ment will not. menace our peace
and prosperity. even in these peri
lous times. Preparedness would
not tempt Woodrow Wilson to
plunge us into the present world
cataclysm, nor to precinitate an
unnecessary armed conflict with
Mexico or any other nation. The
war drums do not appeal to him.
This is another reason why the
people see to it there is no change
of horses while wee crossing this
dangerous stream.
President Wilson's modest pre-
paredness program. has been ac-
cepted by people of all parties as
the wise policy. The. extreme
pacificist would make no prepara-
tion for defense. The extreme
militarist would turn the country
into a military camp and create a
thirst for gore. Then with the
military spirit in the asccndancy,
they elect some Roar ing Pete"
like a certain bellicose Oyster Bay
gentleman as President, and we'd
be off to the wars. The cool. cal
culating, conservative course adj r
vocated by Wilson appeals to the
safe and sane folks of all parties
and elements. That is che reason
why Wilson will be invincible in
the approaching campaign. His
appeal is wholly devoid of weak
poltroonery or heated passion and
stands out conspicuously as the
only safe leadership.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Nov. 2.
Smiling Captain Koenig, skip
per of the green German subma-
rine freighter Deutschland, con-
fidently thought today he'd be
able to unload his $10,000,000
cargo without interference from
the U. 8.
He claimed there was no hitch
about this but Collector of Port
McGovern of Connecticut evident
ly thought different for he has
tened to Hartford yesterday to
confer with Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, presumably
about the known Jewels and the
stocks and bonds said to be
aboard. The outcome of this ses-
sion had not been made public
early today.

the days when the British sneak
ed up the channel, captured the
fort atop the Groton hills and
slew the brave American COM

INCREASED LOANS TO FARMERS

In his message to the legislative
assembly Governor Hanna recon-
mended that an appropriation be made
for the purpose of studying the rural
credit problem, this recommendation
was not acted upon, but it undoubted-
ly offered the best soluti III IF the
problem of any state in the Union.
The original law permitting school
funds to be loaned upon farm lands
was passed in 1897, and the first bill
upon that subject ever submitted to
the state legislature was introduced
by Governor Hanna when a member
of the House in 1895, the law going
into effect in 1897. When he became
Governor in 1913 the law had been
in effect 16 years and the number of
farm loans was 900, the amount be-
ing S1,654,957.00. Today there are
26O9 loans and the amount loaned is
S4,188, $4,000. In brief during the
three years of Governor Hanna's ad-
ministration 1910 loans were made as
against 999 for 16 years previous-an
increase of 161 percent; the amount of
loans being increased 153 percent
These loans are we'll scattered over
the state, every county has received
its apportionate part of the money
and the farmers have derived the
benefit of this low rate Of interest.

had the interests Of the tax payers
at heart and at al times has he work
de for a better business administra-
tion in the peoples public affairs.
During this and every other cam
paign he has been in, Governor Hanna
has been more than fair to his op-
ponents. Never has he uttered-or
allowed to be uttercd-one word of
personal abuse. A clean, moral, up
right man himself, he has always per-
sued and insisted upon honorable
means and methods only. The circular
whicheaas appeared recently under the
heading Information to the Tax Pay
ers of North Dakota" and which pur-
ports to have been written by the
notorious "Jim" Shea, Mr.. McCum-
bers campaign manager, would go to
prove that Mr.. McCumber or his man
ayers are following different policy.
this attack-being without foundation
excuse and should be altogether be-
meath the dignity of United States
Senator who represents the people of
this state. It reminds one of petty
ward politics and goes far to con-
vince the voter that a Senator who
would even sanction such an attack
should himself be retired once and
for all to private life.
To the people of Williston, Williams
and Mckenzie counties, Governor
Hanna is such familiar figure that
almost every one knows or feels he
knows him personally. And that
same feeling is strong over the entire
state. Instead of growing away from
the people-except at election time
as some public officials are wont to do
Hanna has constantly
grown closer to them. Each and
every year-in season and out of
season-has he travelled over the
state, into every section Of it, at the
invite tion of the people living there,
and in that way familiarized himself
with the needs and problems of North
Dakota as few men have ever been
able to do. Governor Hanna is easy
to approach, easy to talk to, always
ready to listen and always glad to
help where help is needed. Owning
and operating two of the largest and
best farms in the state he knows all
the trials and hardships the farmer
has to contend with. And knowing
these trials and hardships he has
made it part of his earnest life work
to better farming conditions in North
Dakota.
Through twenty years of public SER
vice to his state Governor Hanna has
oeen tried by the people who have
elected him to represent them and the
pest evidence of their satisfaction |
With his service lies in the fact that
hey have never once failed to sup
'ort him for reelection. Each year
hat he has come before them and
tood upon his past record have the
'oters Of the state again endorsed
lim. Now that he asks their support
or the office of United States Sena-
or, which he is so we'll qualified by
bility and experience to fll-there
S no reason to doubt-but every rea-
on to believc-Governor Hanna will
nee more receive an unqualified en-
orcement from all classes of people
throughout all sections of the state.
