FARGO DAILY papers
ARE under OPTION DEAL

FARGO, N. D., Feb. 29.-Manager
H. C. Plumley of the Fargo Forum
and a majority of the stockholders
recently gave an option on the For
UNI to certain men who plan to con-
solidate the Forum and. Courier
News of this city. The option runs
until March 1, when the promoters
say they will be able to make an
initial payment, but may not take
over the plant for two or three
weeks. A new company will be in.
corporated to control both publica.
tons, which will be issued from the
same plant.
The promoters propose to change
the policy of the Forum, which has
been stalwart, to Independent.
There have been rumors of a new
paper by a local company and of the
removal of the plant of the old Times
at Grand Forks to Fargo, but no de-
finite action has been taken. It is
generally regarded as unlikely that
a new paper will be established un.
less the new management makes the
Forum ultra radical.
The deal, II 1t goes through, pro.
badly will have some effect on the
state situation. The Courier.News
is supporting James Buchanan, the
progressive candidate for governor,
and the Forum is supporting L. B.
Hanna. The Grand Forks Times and
Herald also have supported Hanna,
and II the Times is moved to Far
60, while the Forum under the new
management is expected to support
Buchanan is expected to support Bu-
chanan until the primaries, and ii
Buchanan is defeated to support the
democratic nominee against Hanna.

SOUTH DAKOTA WOMAN COUNTY DIVISION fight
RETURNS FROM China IN SIGHT FOR PEMb|NA

SIOUX FALLS, S. d., Feb. o.
Wearying of the turmoil in China,
Miss Winnie l.. Stout, South Dakota
young woman who for the last two
years has been a teacher in a school
at Chengtu, has decided to abandon
her foreign missionary work, at least
for the time being, and now is on her
return to South Dakota. Letters re-
ceived by relatives from her state
that she has sailed from China, and
will return to the United States and
South Dakota by way of Europe.
She writes of tedious and perilous
journey which she made from Cheng-
tn to Shanghai, it requiring five weeks
and one day to make the journey,
which under ordinary conditions,
would have been made in a few days.

Hence the man with little means must
either forego his homestead rights or

Then interest rates and taxes are high

The result is the hOmesteader farm

is but three years.

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 27.-An cpl.
demic of typhoid fever is reported at

and most of these have developed

is that the lake, having frozen over
opposite Two Harbors for so long,

but another and that which receives
most credence is that some city sew

TAFT THE REGULAR NOMINEE
Roosevelt Heads an Independent Ticket -Ster-
man "Cofnes Back"

~Chicago.-William Howard Taft of
Ohio was renominated for president
of the United States by the convention
at the Coliseum, by SCI votes or 81
uore than the necessary $40.
James Schoolcraft Sherman of New
York was renominated for v%ice-presi-
dent with 597 votes.
The nominations were made amid
scenes of wild confusion and at the
end of the session that was the storm
lest of a week of stormy sessions.
Broken and beaten at every turn,
the Roosevelt forces, who had come to
the convention on Tuesday threatening
physical violence if they could not
have their way, offered only jeers
and noise when the final victories of
the Taft forces were written into
the history of the convention and into
the political history of the nation.
Three hundred and forty-four Roose-
welt delegates obeyed the colonel's per-
sonal command and refused to vote,
while 107 spurned his orders and put
their votes into his column despite
his protest.
For the Taft and Sherman" cam
paign. which is to begin at once, the
convention adopted a platform by 666
votes. more than we're cast for either

session, but the Taft leaders appear
ed little worried. They confidently
asserted that the campaign for Taft
and Sherman will get under way at
once, and that there will be no doubt
about its triumph in November.
The fact that neither Cummins nor
the La Toilette forces Joined the Roose-
welt men in refusing to vote at the
Coliseum, and that Roosevelt himself
could control only three-fourths of his
followers did not promise any too we'll
for the success of the third party.
From the very opening of the Taft
convention it was apparent that the
Roosevelt men had given up the strug-
gle against their opponents. They
had reached a point where they
could laugh at their own misfortunes,
which they did to the great enjoyment
of the entire convention.
There we're whistles scattered about
the Coliseum and each advance of tho
steam roller was preceded by a warn
ing toot. All the contested delegates
were given their seats, with hardly a
moan from the Roosevelt forces.
There was a story uppermost among
them to the effect that if Speaker
