SPEAKERS y A HOT FINISH
PRIMARY ELECTIONS ONLY FiF.
TEEN DAYS OFF.
Boomers Will Speak at goo Meetings
in North Dakota in Next
Two Weeks.

Fargo. - With but ten days
left until North Dakota will vote her
choice for president. the campaign for
votes in the state, which will be first
to voice it's choice by primary cleo.
ton, is on with a rush. The fight is
clearly drawn and the issue Is plainly
open between Roosevelt and La Fol-
lette.
With Roosevelt and La Toilette
speakers addressing a total Of more
than 200 meetings within the next two
weeks, Taft sentiment is growing, &C
cording to reports from over the state.
No platform speakers are appearing
to champion the cause of the presi-
dent. but business men are said to be
rallying to his support in sufficient
numbers to create a noticeable change
in the attitude of a portion of the
states votes.
Clifford Pinchot, the first of the cam
paign speakers who will tour North
Dakota in the interests of Mr.. Roose-
welt, reached North Dakota Monday.
and spoke at Valley City and James
town.
The La Toilette adherents antici-
pated the advent of the former chief
forester into the North Dakota fight
and a citizens committee at Valley
form OF a list of questions which Mr..
Pinchot was asked to answer from the
speakers stand. 1
The questions are: &.
How does your chief stand on the
financial questions now before the peo,
pie of the United States? First. does
he recognize that there is a money
trust in this nation that controls its
commerce, that holds the mortgager
shackled, the farmer and the wage
Garner as it's slaves? Second. has he
investigated the cause of the financial
panic of 1907. during his last admins;
tration, which caused financial loss to.
the farmers OF millions Of dollars?,
Third, does he mean the Wall street
people or the laboring people shall
rule?"
The La Toilette campaign in the
state will be forwarded in the next
two weeks by speeches before 175 DO
litical meetings. James Manahan Of
Minneapolis opened the campaign.
speaking at Hankinson and Enderlin.
Democratic hopes were never higher
in the state than now. D. H. Near
thur, chairman of the Democratic state
central committee, said that he is
more than satisfied with the way
things are going. He expresses him.
self as confident of a Democratic vic.
tory.
Democratic sentiment will be crys-
tallized by William Jennings Bryan
when he will make five addresses be-
fore northwest Democrats in Fargo.

Death of Rayner Dooms Free
Sugar.
THE LOUISIANA PROTECTIONIsTS
WILL WIPE SLIM DEMOCRATIC
MAJORITY.
Washington, Nov. 26.-As q re-
suit of the death here Monday of
Senator Rayner. OF Maryland, the
control of tho senate by the dem
oorats in all phases of tariff lsgis-
lation in the new congress hangs
10y q slender thread, aud the psss-
ago of free sugar bill ia now be-
lisvsd to be impossible. A repub-
lican successor to Mr.. Raynsr will
be appointed by Governor Gold
sborough, a republican. The Mary
land legislature docs not ressssm-
bio until . year from January.
Tho republican appointss will
serve during the special tariff sss-
sion of tho new congress, to DO
convene soon after Woodrow Will
son becomes president on March
4, next.
Counting all OF the holdover
democratic senators. including
Senator Rsyner, aud enumsrating
tho son atorships safely dsmoora-
tic % result of the recent cleo
ton, the democratic seemed sure
Of forty .sight senators in the new
congress. this being just one-haIf
of the total membership OF nine
ty.six. This takes no account Of
the two senators to be elected in
Illinois, nor of the one to b cho-
son in Tennessee. By combine
ton of the democrats and the pro.
gressives in the Illinois lsgisls-
ture, it is expected that at least
ono democrat will be named from,
that state. The fusionists in
Tennessee will elect Q man who
will cooperate with the demo-
Gratis in tariff matters. so, had
Senator Rsyner lived, the demo-
Gratis would have been virtually
sure of fifty ssnstorships, q major
ity of two.
But with Senator Raynsr suo
cseded by q republican. the maxi
mum possible total becomes forty
nine.
This situation makes impossible
the passage of tho free sugar bill
which was a feature OF the demo
cratic program by the houss Lac
winter. The two democrats from
Louisiana arc not to be relied up
on to support the FREQ sugar bill
The sugar industry 10 the blI
thing in Louisiana affairs. and th'
Louisiana democrats, therefore
are protectionists when it come
to sugar. Even had Senator Kay
nsr lived the outlook for frs
sugar bill would have been q
csediugly doubtful. Without hir
it seem certain no such bill ca
possibly be enacted.
