new RULING in
REGARD TO TRUNKS
CENTRAL PASSENGER AssoclA.
TON HAS JUST PASSED A NEW
RULING IN REGARD TO THE
SIZE OF TRuNks-TRAvELlNc
MEN ARE NOT AFFECTED.

Trunks exceeding forty inches in
length and those falling under the
head of freak" trunks probably
have met their death blow in the an
nouncement Of the Central Passenger
association.
No more, according to the announce
ment Of the association, can trunks ex-
ceeding forty inches be carried for the
same amount of money as the smaller
trunks. The order or rather the sug-
gestion will go into effect at once.
The people travelling with the extra
large trunks are now compelled to pay
extra charges. And they're kicking.
Travelling men are not affected by
the new rule" said a local baggage
man. THE fact that the most of the
travelling salesmenpossesst trunks with
in the required limit is the simple and
only reason for this. The only people
kicking are the ones who insist on talk
ing freight train loads at the same
price as they pay for the ordinary
trunk"
For every inch in the size of a
trunk ten pounds of excess baggage
will be charged. This is done to make
the handling of baggage more easy and
ought to make baggage of all kinds
more uniform in size. 1t will do away
with freak" trunks and monstrous
boxes and the like that some people
delight to carry.

At meeting held in Fargo last
night the North Dakota branch OF the
National Progressive Republican
league was most successfully launch
ed upon the political sea. over 200 Of
the leading progressive republicans OF
the state were present and the closest
harmony was manifested at the po-
litical love feast.
No action was taken regarding the
endorsement of anyone for president
the more conservative element of the
progressive wing being able to main
tain its position that no one should
be endorsed. The name of Robert La
Toilette was mentioned twice during
the evening and con each occasion a
most expressive outburst of applause
followed the mention Of the distin-
guished insurgent from the badger
state who is considered the leader OF
the insurgents.
However, no connection was made
with LaFollette, or any other possible
presidential aspirant, as a presidential
possibility. No other republicans Of
national timber were mentioned save
Anton Anderson of Grand Forks
presided at the meeting and in call
ing on the first speaker of the evening
he mentioned him as a coming candi-
date for governor Of Illinois or a
possible u. 8. senator from the sucker
state.
Address by Jones.
Progressive Republicanism was the
subject Of the address given by Wal
ter Clyde Jones Of Chicago, one OF
the principal speakers of the evening
The Chicago speaker opened his re-
marks by lauding the North Dakota
legislature for it's work along the lines
Of progressive legislation. He praised
the work of Senator Gronna and Con-
gresham Helgesen of North Dakota
placing both of the fiickertail states
men among the foremost progressive
republicans in the congress Of the
United States. In speaking of the In
surgent movement over the country
Mr.. Jones very forcibly showed that
the progressive republican movement
was not local or sectional. He said,
@Tm glad to know that your state OF
North Dakota has at last joined the
ranks has made at last joined the
fight the battle to a finish and win a
victory.
"Of late the nation has been shaken
by unseen forces. But we know that
the nation has been suffering from a
fnalady which can be cured by pre-
scription OF progressive legislation.
When the people understand this
issue (meaning progressive republi-
canisml they viii put their force be.
hind the progressive movement and
move on to victory. The progressive
movement must go ahead, whether los
ing or to victory. It is your duty in
this state to continue this fight until
this popular movement Of the people
is in power all over the country"
The address by Mr.. Jones was most
eloquent and he was roundly applaud
ed. He spoke for almost an hour and
most bitterly attacked Cannon, Lori
mer and other big republicans. He
spoke a great deal Of the political sit
uation in Illinois and told of the at
tempts OF the progressive republicans
