A Canning Factory.

Secretary Guy Of the Commercial
Club is in communication with The
Hastings Industrial Company of Chi
cago, who are greatly interested in the
project of a canning factory for this
city. They are anxious to get the peo-
pie interested, asa factory of this kind
will avail little unless the whole COM
munity takes hold and guarantees to
raise enough produce to supply an
institution o: this kind. It does not
take much to equip factory-the
main thing is to get the farmers inter-
ested enough to grow peas, beans. to-
matoes, etc. And there would be no

TAFT MEN LAY DOWN.
Refuse to Garry Such Heavy Load
in March Primaries.

Minneapolis, Dec. 2.-Charles B..
Cheney, political editor of the Mime
apolis Journal, in Grand Forks letter
to his paper says: ''Senator LaFollette
will get ten delegates from North Da-
kota in the republican national con-
vention without contest. The Taft
men have subdued the combative spirit
of a few like James Kennedy, national
committeeman, and Jim Shea, United
States marshal, and it is understood
that no Taft candidates for delegates
will be put up IN the primaries next
March.
Canadian reciprocity is at the bot
tom of it all. North Dakota, of all
states, was the most bitterly opposed
to the presidents agreement with
Canada. A protest against it was
Joined in by stalwarts and progressives
alike. Factional differences never
were lost sight of so completely. Fol-
lowing Canada's rejection of the pact.
when wheat went up, North Dakota
farmers were convinced beyond any
possibility of a change that the admin
istration had tried to sacrifice them.
Their prejudice against Taft is so
strong that the state is conceded to
LaFollette in the convention and the
only question is whether the republican
farmers can be held in line for the
party next November as against a
democrat. It is favorite threat that
if Taft is nominated, the North Dakota
farmers will support any man the DEM
ocrats put up, possibly barring Har-
mon. Many business men take the at
titude.
