Devils Lake and North Dakota politicians gather in St Paul for a Kindergarten club report and a potential merger rumor. Key figures include Judge Cowan, Fred Baker, and many state leaders, with officials defending against merger pressure and noting election roles.
Dispatch from St Paul reports Judge John F. Cowan of Devils Lake ND is a senate candidate with backing from Alex McKenzie and Jud LaMoure. The so called Kindergarten club meeting at Merchants hotel signals a hard fight on Hansbrough for the seat, with North Dakota leaders vowing a full scale campaign through the year.
In Willow City Eagle and Neche Chronotype commentary, Leatherdis criticizes Judge Cowan for seeking a U S Senate bid, arguing voters favor Hansbrough and Cowan lacks broad support. The piece notes Cowan rose quickly from county attorney to attorney general and district judge, but unlikely to win now. It condemns aggressive press tactics by Fargo Call and Grand Forks Herald and threats to Governor White.
The governor resisted joining the Van Sant Lowry anti merger cabal as friends warned. North Dakota should be praised for having a leader with common sense and moral stamina to prevent the state from becoming a pawn for schemers abroad or ambitious politicians at home.
The piece notes district judges lack respect due to political entanglements. Lauder and Fisk dodge criticisms from the supreme court while Winchester is derided by Ed Patterson and Con stable Clark. Cowan quarreled with John Cochrane, leaving only three judges.
Judge Cowan recently fined Attorney Cochrane for contempt of court raising questions whether that will or will not make him United States senator. Cowan has many friends who would rejoice at a Washington seat but Hansbrough brings twelve years experience that should not be laid aside for another good man.
Lisbon Free Press notes a sharp attack on Senator Hansbrough by critics in North Dakota coverage shared with the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The piece argues Hansbrough is sound despite opposition, reflecting mixed Twin City press views on regional politics.
Washington dispatch reports Senator Hansbrough reviewing special agent reports on the Devils Lake Indians cession and in conference with Inspector Mc Laughlin and Special Agent Armstrong who drafted the agreement. They are drafting a bill to provide necessary legislation to ratify the agreement.
The senator has received numerous letters from parties nationwide expressing desire to donate on lands as soon as they are opened.
