tcrs little whether o. per cent Of the vot-
ers supported Roosevelt or La Toilette.
La Toilette cannot be nominated and he
knows it, Therefore, the issue is between

not carry many Of them"

the North Dakota primary to-day. Director
Mckinley of the Taft bureau said:
Lamenting the defeat of Colonel Eoosc-
welt in Yesterdays North Dakota primary
the COlOneIs adhercnts are cXcuSnG their
misfortune by the charge. that Democrats
and Socialists voted in tho primary for
Senator La Toilette. As evidence Of this
fact / quote from the statement Of John f.
Bass, manager Of the Roosevelt campaign
in North Dakota: our reports indicate
that practically all the Democrats have
voted for La Toilette. II the Democrats
had STAYED out OF the Republican primary
there is no question that Roosevelt would
have Won
This is exactly what the managers Of
the Taft bureau have attempted to impress
upon the country from the outset Of this
campaign. In this instance there was a
state law, but without the party enrol
ment feature. The claim Il now made 10y
the Roosevelt managers that il was not "A
Republican primary, but one open to all
cOmcTS. In the absence of state law. il
is easy TO fOTcsce that soap box primary
rules would prevail and the contest for the
Republican nomination for President would
degenerate into national scandal in which
the Republican party itself would play a
minor role.

providing for primaries, because Democrats
and Socialists are not barred from partiCi-

these recently converted enthusiasts be-
cause the Democrats and Socialists are not
permitted to take part In the primaries
and thereby unload upon the Republican
party the candidate the Democrats believe
! the easiest to defeat in the general cleo
