OCCUR MARCH IS
This State viii Probably BE the First
to Show Presidential
Preference.

Because North Dakota will be the
first state to express itself on 'presi-
Dental candidates this state expects
to be the seat Of much political acsiv.
ity during the mex seven months.
North Dakota will hold its presiden-
tial primaries March 1S, the first OF
the five states that have the new pre-
f%erential primary, and 1t Is o proba-
BILE that any Of the states that have
the old convention system will select
delegates any earlier. North Dakota
will have only ten delegates in a on
vention of more than 1000, but the
psychological effect OF victory Is worth
something, and therefore all the as
pirants for presidential honors will
make special efforts to land the dele.
cations from this state.
The executive committee of the
North Dakota Progressive Republican
league, which met at Fargo, decided to
put aside all state politics and throw
& wet blanket on all candidates that
bob up until after the presidential pri.
maries are out of the way. The pro.
gre~ssives are going to work as hard
as they can to carry the state for u
progressive candidate.
They do not say they lei La Fol
lette, but that is understood.
The stalwarts are quiet now. They
concede that II the primaries were held
today La Toilette would have a walk
away as against Taft. But they are
xr,;t;nr h@,,;~r thnt thn ctnry, will
blow over and that the feeling against
Taft and reciprocity will subside. The
stalwarts are hoping that Taft's trip
through the state will help some and
they are arranging as many stops for
him as possible. They hope to have
some other speakers here during the
fall and winter.
The members of the progressive
league say Taft's visit will not help
him any. But whether 1t does or not
they are going to work as hard as
they can to get votes away from him.
They propose from now on to organize
the state by counties and precincts
the issues and goes out to the polls.
Two years ago, they say, they got a
big vote, although they had only the
skeleton of an organization.
The ~progressives plan to have Il
number Of speakers here during the
fall and early winter and to have a
big meeting of the league in January.
The Democrats will also make an
extra effort to get the delegates from
this state, because Of the effect it
will have on other states that select
their delegates later.

POLITICAL NEWS.

The movement among progressive
Democrats to prevent the nomination
of Judson Harmon of Ohio for the
presidency next year is taking tangi-
BILE form. Under the leadership of
such p~rogressives as Senator Owen of
Oklahoma a definite movement has
been started for the organization of
the progressive Democrats of the en-
tire country into a cohesive body to
control the action Of the Democratic
national convention nex year.
William Jennings Bryan, in an in

whom he believed qualified to lead

SO far as President Taft himself is

the president will speak on many sub

now that tariff revision will receive
most Of his attention.
