Gronna, republican, frr renomination has acted as an : c cderator on the republican cam paign to retain and strengthen the republican control of the senate. The managers of the senatorial c.unpaign are no less confident of their ability to give Senator liar ding a republican congress, but they appreciate the necessity of "taking their coats off to give the party a real working majority in the upper house. Dr. E. F. Ladd, president of the North Dakota State Agricultural college, defeated Senator Gronna for the republican nomination.

The senatorial t .inpaign managers are anxious to learn whether he will line up on the republican side in organizing the senate if he is elected. They aie afraid they can't count on him very Mrongly. On account of the nar row margin of control in the senate, they are going to sound him out at an early date and if adequate assur ances are not forthcoming they may find it necessary to run a candidate in Xorth Dakota on an independent n publican ticket.
