There has been in existence a gen.
eral conspiracy all over the east seek
ing to make the people of the country
believe that Senator La Toilette is out
of the race for the nomination for
President. This conspiracy was enter
ed into very enthusiastically by the
system daily newspapers and press
bureaus, with the result that for few
days there was evidence that the peo-
pie were being thoroughly fooled. But
the truth of the matter has come out,
and in the States where Progressiyes
have active organizations, meetings
have been held and renewed assur-
ances have been sent to~the National
Progressive Headquarters of active
support for LaFollette and the princi-
pies he represents.
Hundreds of kilograms have come
asking as tc the campaign and as to
the physical conditions of the Senator.
The inquiry has been so general that
it was best answered by the publica
ton of the kilograms sent by LaFol.
lette to Geo. S. LOTUS of Minneapolis
and to the Courier-News at Fargo,
North Dakota. These kilograms car
ried the assurance Of the Senator that
his illness had ueen grossly misrepre
scented, that he was simply overwork-
ed, and that after a short rest he
would return with renewed vigor to
the struggle. He declared that he had
refused all offers Of combinations or
compromises. and that he asked only
for delegates who stood steadfast tc
principles.
These messages Of the Senator
when published, brought much disap
pointment to the camp of the consptr
ators, who had so carefully arranged
to eliminate him from the contest
They set up an outcry at the evidences
of activity at the LaFollette head
quarters, as if they were injured by
some breach of good faith!

Progressive headquarters work is 10
ing right on, and the real Progresstves
in all the states are busy organizing tt
fight to the end. Those who are earn
est in the movement realize that it is
battle for the idea of self-govern
ment, rather than a contest for Office
spoils, and that it must finally be
fought to the finish before real repre-
sentative government can be assured
Men who believe this a"e really Pro
gressive, and they will not be turned

Fargo Search-Lignt: The people of
the state of North Dakota owe it to
themselves not to be ouncoed by any
false move under cover, or otherwise.
The Stalwart element in the Repupli-
can party has put little hopes of
carrying the STATE for state offices, but
hope to get delegation to the nation
al convention under the Roosevelt
cloak, help nominate Standpatter,
and control the federal patronage in
this state for the next presidential
term. They know that an attempt to
carry the state for Taft would be dis
astrous. They also know that Roose-
welt is liked by the people of this
state. Besides this fact they know
that Teddy is in a position wherein
he dislikes to mix in personally
against Taft, but that he will in no
sense favor him. This practically
compels him to keep silent on an &C.
tual presidential choice as long as
possible, and taking advantage of this
fact they are parading his name as a
favorite to get Stalwart delegation in
fact, to the national convention, while
for him ostensibly. Such tactics are
guerilla tactics, and nothing better
or higher, and the people do not take
kindly to them

Mountrail County Herald: 1t is evil
dent that there is gooo deal of
dissatisfaction among republicans
throughout the state caused by the
action Of Congressman l.. B. Hanna,
who is a candidate for nomination for
governor and trying to start a land
slide for Roosevelt for president.
Mr.. Hanna probably thinks he is
playing shrewd politics, but to one
who appreciates republican sentiment
MS course must seem ridiculous, and
if there was an essential lacking for
the sure defeat of Hanna, he has him
self supplied it. This atti-
tude of Hanna must appear to every
intelligent voter of the state as just
what it is-an attempt to run with
the fox and hunt with the hounds.
His political method must be disgust
ing to all gtinlelcnieep,Y nissan
ing to all intelligence, and can but
dive support away from Roosevelt
and from himself

that the many false reports, mostly

drawn from the race-even though
