gubernatorial nomination in June
Will be conducted on the merits of
the candidates and that the fact that
North Dakota does or does not en-
dorse Roosevelt will have nothing to
do with it. We believe those who are
supporting LaFollette because of the
fear of injuring Buchanan are making
a serious mistake. We believe that
every interest of North Dakota will
be best preserved by the defeat of
Taft in the convention. and that those
who expect to vote for LaFollctte for
the s outlined above are aid
ing in accomplishing that end. Let us
settle the presidential contest now

time, but not try to decide the state

George Haffner will be cashier and

cials to cast q reflection on him have
failed, and the new institution will be
