Hughes and the entire Republican ticket, Minnesota's Grand Old Man spoke as fol lows on the North Dakota Senatorial situation: "The people of this states will make a mistake if they do not elect Senator McCumber. I am not un easy about Hughes carrying this state and being elected, but he will be tied so far as undoing the dis asters of the Democratic administration is concerned if he does not have a Republican house and senate. The Republicans will elect the house by a safe ma jority, but that will not do. He must have the sen ate to enact the legislation which will save the farm ers of the northwest from repetition of the disasters of the Cleveland tariff law which will come when the war closes in Europe and permits the warring na tions to resume their industrial life and flood this country with their cheap products because of the lack of protection. "Senator McCumber is a man of ability, standing at the very top of the influential men of that body. He is honest and consistent and is a Republican every day, not shifting his support to the Democrats one day and back to the Republicans the next. There will be sixteen senators to be elected this election and it is necessary that the Republicans elect nine in or der to control that body. Let North Dakota Repub licans do their duty and elect one."—KNUTE NELSON. .'jiWtfWIn.illlllffWilpn in llpWjW- 'iJW, of the stomach and while -everything known to science was done to effect a cure, the disease ran its course and took its toll as stated above.

M., I will place this land on the market for a short time only—this 320 acres for sale %t $4,800, or $15 per acre. I do not want all cash, nor half cash. $2,000 cash will handle the deal. This land is 99% tillable. The land is 7 miles south and one mile west, making it 8 miles from Rudyard, Mont., the improvements, consisting of a 4 room house, two-wire fence and 95 acres broke, cost about $1,000. There is not a half section between this land and Rud yard that can be bought for less than $8000, and no better piece of land in the country, with school land going at $30 per acre with no improvements, selling at Havre on Oct. 5th, and wheat getting near the $2.00 per bushel mark, and lots of land in the country producing $60 per acre this year. There is positively no better land buy anywhere. Cheap land days are passing, and if you miss this bargain you are missing something if you are looking for a home or a good investment. You can put 200 acres in crop and pay for the land entirely out of one crop. What better do you want? The land is in good neighborhood, in the cen ter of the best farming country, 2 miles from good school house with 9 months school a year.

A. Nestos, of Minot, declares for a united Re publican House and Senate to support the incoming administration. His statement is: "I wish to say that I consider the issues now be fore the people of more vital importance, and a Re publican victory more essential to the highest wel fare of our people, than in any political campaign since I came to the state ,nearly 24 years ago. "We are fortunate in having as our standard bearer a man whose competency, training and char acter makes him particularly fitted for the Presi dency. Charles Evans Hughes typifies in the high est degree the ideal in American public life and pub lic service." "To achieve the highest success in such construc tive statesmanship, however, President Hughes, when he takes his place in the White House, will .need the co-operation of both houses of Congress, and this can be assured only by the re-election of a Republican membership. For this reason I most strongly favor the re-election of Senator P. J. Mc Cumber and Congressmen Helgesen, Norton and Young from North Dakota. I also favor the election of the whole Republican ticket, believing that those now holding office have demonstrated their right to re-election, and that the new men nominated by the Republicans are well qualified for the places they seek."—R.
