PREJUDICE y POOR GUIDE.

If the endorsement OF Senator La
Toilette by North Dakota would serve
any purpose either in securing n
Republican candidate acceptable to
the majority of the rank and file Of
the party or in the nomination of a
candidate who would insure the de-
feat of the Democratic candidate at
the pools in November. it would work
no injury to the state. But instead Of
doing either of these things It will
materially aid in defeating both.
Therein lies the danger in accepting
the candidacy of q; man who can not
hope I" win. and whose closest poll
teal friends are leaving him.
Clifford l'inrhot pointed out these
dangers. lie stayed with Senator La
Toilette until he realized, ms he put
II in his speech here Wednesday night.
that ii WAS better to win with Roose-
Welt than lose With LaF'ollette. Scores
"f other progressive leaders have done
the same thing. They put principles
above individuals. They realized that
to stay with LA Toilette meant defeat
in the convention and Il continuation
of he Taft policies. We believe no
adhcrent of senator L.aFollettc be-
licNcs he can be elected. No man who
knows the political situation believes
he will have fifty votes in a convention
which requires five hundred more
than that number to nominate. q
Now look on the Roosevelt prospect
for " oment. He is dividing the
east allmost evenly with Taft, and his
strength is increasing every day. talk
ing its gain away from thai of Taft.
Roosevelt is gaining: Taft is losing in
the latter's stronghold. In the south,
until Roosevelt became a candidate.
the votes We're for Taft. and even Sem
ator La Follette never made any pre-
tense of expecting them. Roosevelt.
however has the guarantee of ffty-
six. and the guarantee means in the
south the delivery Of the votes, for
the party is in the control Of man
In each state who says what shall and
what shall not be. That is why the
guarantees of Cecil Lyons in Texa.
and Pear Wright in Mississippi mean
the delivery to Roosevelt Of the dele
gates in these two states, except the
four at large from Mississippi. The
Roosevelt committee in a recent esti-
mate claimed one hundred and tven-
t.: delegates out of a total Of three
hundred and six in the solid south.
That the committee was making no
preposterOus claim is proven by the
fact that it did not claim North Da.
kota for Roosevelt. Senator LaFol-
lette was unable to take anything
from Taft in either Of these sections.
Which of the two men-Roosevelt
and LaFollette-is the stronger in the
places where the strength must be Sc
cured to defeat Taft?
Now turn to the west. Senator La
Follette's original strength of about
two hundred votes - and he new
er had more than that number GER
tain-lay in a group of states in the
northern tier of states. with Califor.
mia on the coast, and a partial
strength in a group of Interior states
which includes Nebraska, Wyoming.
Kansas and Missouri. In every one
of those states except Wisconsin and
North Dakota the men who come
nearest to the popular will Of the peo-
pie and who have been the leaders in
the fight for the principles for which
Senator LaFollette stands. are work.
