The announcement has been made of the candidacy
of Senator Robert NJ LaFolete of Wisconsin for pres-
dent. This brings to the front rival for the repub-
nomination when it had been supposed by many that
President Taft would have opposition The progress
of the republican party determined that man
representing their views shall make an effort to be elect
ed and campaign to for LaFolette the nominal
ton will be made 1t is said that aside from progress
ives many others heretofore afat,ng with the party
will support LaFoette under the belief that it means
"LaFoette with chance to win, with Taft sure de-
feat" Be that it may great many republicans VIII
welcome the chance to vote for LaFollette Ihe WIS
consn is strong caracter fearless when he
believes he is right and has been clean politically
and socially and should he be elected president the

From the letter the first page of this paper it
will be found that intending oesteaders who made APP
pcaton before the land office for the uncass6ed and
unappraised land the Flat1ead reservatlon did so
with some encouragement from the general land office.
Assistant Commissioner Proud6ts letter says registers
and receivers nstruced with the consent OF the
applicants to receive applications to enter unappra1sed
and unclassifed tracts in the Fatead Indian
tion and to suspend the applications until the lands had
been classified and appraised. This would seem to
give those who have heretofore applied for the land
claim on the land which it will be difficult for the de-
partnent to cancel they tentatively told that
the land would be theirs soon as it could be appras
ed and classified. Next the assistant commissioner
ut appears that the superintendent OF the Fathead
Agency is claiming the right to allot the unclass1hed
lands to Indians That's 1t has been gen.
orally supposed that the rolls closed for the further al
lotment when the reservation thrown open, and this
especially when the commissioner OF the gener-
al land office issued his general order throwing the re-
naming unentered lands open:to settlement and entry
under the general homestead laws November LIST last
To local residents who acquainted with the con-
dtons it appears that the tangle land matters the
reservation is about the worst and the department
will probably have its hands full for years to in
unraveng the difficulties. What is most wanted, how
ever is that the question be speedily settled so that
pie who have made application for the class of land des-
gnated ''unappraised and uncasshed may know
whether they to get the land not IT the ln-
dian department is to be allowed still further alot
Indians the land when the rolls to be considered
closed? That looks like the biggest humbug OF the
whole fake show.
The coronation parade in London yesterday is said
to have been some show. Along with the pomp and
of the rich American wives of of the titled aris-
tocracy of merry England They had thought their
money would furnish them with precedence they did
not receive and it dapened their opinion of themselves
and their dollars TO all such there is the consolation
that they may again return to their native land and at
less cost be given the right Of precedence in one OF
any exhibition of Rngling Bros. 1t all amounts to
the same thing, anyway.
If President Tatt's pet sc,eme-reciprocity with
Canada-should fail of receiving jority vote in the
senate how will he view the vote of those republicans
who are against him i'll the matter? Either the
other of them without the pale of the party and this
paper would like to be advised to which is regular
There may be such thing that neither the
other are at all times, but would like to know.
After reading the proposed primary law in FULL it
has the unqualified endorsement of the Poneer with the
exception of the 'closed' primary feature. This may
not help it's passage one bit but it relieves minds
