What ABOUT
1Af1'S name

Will the candidacy of William H
Taft for the presidency of the United
States be entirely ignored by the
Republicans of North Dakota in the
presidential preference election OF
March II, for unless 500 names are
obtained on petitions placing his
name on the ballot before Saturday
of this week. his name will not even
appear before the voters at that
time.
This unusual condition has been
brought about through the launching
Of the Roosevelt boom and the par.
ticipation in that movement by many
republicans who might otherwise be
for Taft. There has not been at any
time in the last few months any con.
certed effort upon the part of Taft
supporters to have his name brought
prominently before the voters of this
state
Roosevelt and La Toilette petitions
are now in circulation, and several of
the former have been filed, though
not enough to place the name on the
ballot. For the Democratic primary
ballot petitions are being circulated
for Wilson, Harmon and Governor
Burke of North Dakota.
Petitions are also being circulated
generally through the state by candi
dates for election to the notional con
ventions. A new ruling on this point
has been made nv Attorney General
Andrew Miller which will permit OF
one petition carrying the names OF
more than one candidate for nomina.
ton, thus giving ticket" candidates
an opportunity to facilitate matters
by placing the names of all their can.
didates on the same petition. These
petitions, as well as those of the can.
didates for national committeeman,
need not be filed until March 1, that
being the last day of grace under the
presidential primary law.
On the presidential situation, North
Dakota continues to present an I'm.
usual front. La Toilette boos ters
have not given up their fight to nom.
mate delegates from this state for
him, assertions to the contrary not.
withstanding. Evidence of this fact
is found in the calling of a meeting
In Griggs county for Thursday of this
week, when a La Toilette club will
be organized, and in the calling of a
similar meeting in Mclean county,
where Progressives have declared
for the Wisconsin senator. And last
week the Bowman county Progress
sives perfected such an organization
and will promote his candidacy.
Roosevelt campaigners are BEND
ing their energies towards the con-
vention which will be held in Grand
Forks February 20, when they expect
to nominate list of candidates for
the national convention delegation.
In the Democratic party the condi-
tons are at this time somewhat un-
certain as a result Of the action ta-
ken at the big meeting held in Fargo
recently when John Burke was in
dorsed for the presidency. Several
Of the Democratic newspapers have
that action, claiming that
John Burke has no real chance Of
being nominated, and that by placing
his name on the ballot, the coming
primary will lose significance as
bearing upon the national situation,
and as affecting the candidates. Of

TRADE OF PORTO RICO
WITH UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Trade
between Porto Rico and continental
United States in the calendar year
just ended amounted to ~ million
dollars, or IS times as much as in
1897. the year preceding the annex
alton of that island by the United
States. The precise figures of the
trade with Porto Rico are, according
to the December Summary of Com
merce and Finance recently issued
by the Bureau of Statistics, Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, as
follows: Merchandise sent to Porto
Rico $36,793 ,646; received from Por-
to Rico, $35, 1885,; a total of $72,-
1882. In 1897, the last yead in
which Porto Rico was foreign terri
tory. tie figures we're: Exports
thereto, $2,O23751; imports there
from, $1,943,z51; a total of $780,
O02. Thus shipments of merchandise
to the island gained in the period
from 1897 to 1911 $34,769,895. or
abount 1920 per cent, while receipts
of merchandise therefrom increased
$33.5O2,935, or 1925 per cent.
The trade with Porto Rico since
it's annexation has grown more rap
idly than with any other commercial
community of importance and now
exceeds the value of our trade with
Spain. or China, or India; is nearly
equal to that with Argentina, and is
more than that with all British
Oceania including Australia or with
he METRE continent of Africa. Dur
ing the period since 1897 in which
shipments from the United States to
Porto Rico increased 1920 Der cent
exports to Canada, with which our
trade has grown unusually rapidly
in recent years. increased 300 per
cent, those to Cuba $40 per cent to
Argentina 745 per cent. China 100
per cent, Japan ITS per cent, Ger |
many III per cent, and to the United /
States II per cent.
Manufactures and foodstuffs form
by far the largest part of the domes-
tic merchandise shipped to Porto
Rico from the United States.
THE principal articles entering
United States from Porto
RIGA are sugar. cigars and cigar
ettes.. tobacco and fruits and nuts.

Montana Will
Have Big Exhibit

Montana will show from $50, :

play of her products at the North
western Products Exposition to
be held in Minneapolis Novem-
ber IL to %.
Governor Norris has received
word from the officers of the
Northwest Development League
that the Civic and Commerce
Association oof Minneapolis has
agreed to a deal whereby this
state will be furnished exhibit
space for it's official display with
out cost at the Products Exposi-
ton. The business interests of
Minneapolis are also erecting a
great exposition building as a
home for this exhibition of north
west products. The show will
be given under the auspices Of
the League as the Land Show
was in st. Paul last year and it
will be the only exposition of the
kind furnishing space for the
official state exhibits free.
At a cost of SIS, 900 the busi-
ness interests Of Minneapolis and
st. Paul have bought from the
league the space necessary for
the states ana each of the seven
will have booth Quilt for their
exhibits fifty feet long and ten
feet wide with a back wall
twelve by fifty feet.
The governor has been asked
to confer with officers of the
league in this state and secure
the interest of those who are
capable of collecting and INSTALL
ing an exhibit which will be a
credit to the state. The govern
or will probably appoint a COM
mission to assist state officers in
the work. Under this plan no
county will have an advantage
over others in the state. ANY
city, county Or reputable land
company desiring to make an in
dependent exhibit will be able to
secure a limited amount of space
the state exhibit on
reasonable terms.
The seven states which are to
be thus represented are: Mime

Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
