Only One Way.
There is one way, and only one
way, in which the progressive course
can be helped at this election, and
that is by supporting the progressive
ticket. This is not a question of
personalities. The progressive prin-
cipIes have been embodied in a plat
form made by representatives Of
the progressive party and they have
nominated two men to act for the
moment as it's standard bearers.
The only way TO support these
principles and this platform is to sup
| port the men who stand for these
principles and on that platform, and
who are the nominees 70 the progress

To Have Third Ticket.
1t was announced briefly after Mr..
Roosevelt's arrival in the city that
in accordance with his wishes, full
state ticket would be placed in the
field for the fall election.
This has been Mr.. RooseveIts desire
in every state he has so far visited
on this trip, and everywhere his plans
have been carried out to the fullest
extent. All along the way to Fargo,
wherever he has attended state con-
Ventions, the presidential aspirant has
spoken Of this as one of the en-
phatfc mandates of the new political
alignment he is heading.
Creesan for Governor.
When the wishes Of Mr.. Roosevelt
concerning the fun progressive state
ticket were made clearly known on
his arrival in the city at noon, it was
unofticially given out that DR.. c, c.
Creegan of Fargo, president of Fargo
college, had been centered on as the
Subernatorial candidate to head the
Roosevelt men in their fight this fall.
1t is expected this afternoon that
DR.. Creegan will nominated for COVER
nor or not later than tomorrow morn
ing should the convention continue
over until that time. TAe personnel
of the rest of the ticket is yet a mat
ter Of speculation. President Creegan
who with Mayor Sweet, planned the
entire reception committee, was among
tn number who went to Grand Forks
and greeted Mr.. Roosevelt tere.
The crowd in the park this after
noon to listen to Colonel Roosevelts
address was not as large at the inn
city on Labor day, 1910 to hear him
speak.
party's Birth.
The progressive party, commonly
called throughout the nation the
third party" or the Roosevelt
party" was formally launched this
morning at IL o'clock at the Grand
theatre In response to the call issued
by Dorr Carroll of Minot, the state
chairman of the North Dakota organ
ization. There were fifty-seyen people
present at the party's birth, attend
ing the first meeting.
Mr.. Carroll called the meeting to
order and in a keynote speech declared
the new party continuation of the
movement of the convention held in
Chicago a little more than thirty days
ago at which time Colonel Roosevelt
and Governor Johnson had been nomi-
mated as the national standard bear
ers in this battle of the Lord"
He then introduced Judge Nehemiah
Davis of Minot as the temporary
chairman of the organization and G.
G. Boise of Fargo as temporary sec
retary. The selection of Judge Davis
came somewhat as a surprise as it
had been previously announced that
former Lieutenant Governor Bartlett
was chosen for that position.
Judge Davis took the platform and
thanked the state committee for the
honor conferred upon him and said
that he had been a lifelong republi-
can and seldom had ever voted any
other ticket. But from this time on.
he said, so far as he could see now.
he would never vote the republican
ticket again.
