MINOT, N. D., May 22.-Former
Governor J. NJ. Devine today issued
formal statement denying the printed
report that the North Dakota anti
reciprocity delegation refused to meet

all the arrangements made to meet
President Taft and that the only rea.
son why the plans were not carried
out was because OF the absence Of
President Taft from Washington.
He says that there was no hard
feelings whatever between the mem.

dent.
