Governor GIasscock Believes Roose.
Welt Would Accept Nomination.
New York, Jan. 27.-William E.
Glasscock, governor of West Virginia,
called at the Outlook Office t o see Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt and took part
in a luncheon engagement with the
former president. When the governor
aeft he said that he still was of the
opinion that Mr.. Roosevelt should and
would be nominated.
Il think he will never be a candi-
date for the Office" Mr.. Glasscock said.
# am mo- authorized to speak for Colo
mel Roosevelt, nor am l attempting to
do So, but it is my opinion that he will
nave to be nominated without being a
1andidate."
do you think that he would accept
the nomination."
ut is my personal opinion that he
would if the American people ask him
to accept. This is not based, however,
OF anything that Colonel Roosevelt
said. We discussed the weather con-
ditions in general-but nothing about
the political situation that l would
care to repeat. l do not think, how
ever, that Colonel Roosevelt will be a
candidate in the sense that Clark, Har-
mon and Wilson are candidates."

Englishman Of Title Well Known in

sn9llshman OF Title Well Known in
North Dakota Passes Away.
Lord Thursby, one of the patients
at the state insane hospital at James

would have been in line for one of the
distinguished titles in the British blue
book. j.. S. Sinclair Of Jerome, Ariz.,

many respects clever and during his
meteoric career in North Dakota had

Will Open Headquarters in

A|LLES TO Be IN CHARGE
Presidents Secretary to Manage Cam
paign to Secure Delegates Favor
able to Administration.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Within anoth-
er month, probably earlier. the
sry will be stirred by a struggle be-
tween the friends of President Taft
and the followers of ex-President
Roosevelt for delegates to the next
Republican national convention.
President Taft's friends, thoroughly
alarmed over the growth of the Roose-
velt movement and the surprising
strength developed by Senator La Fol
sette, have determined to open head
quarters at once and begin a nation
wide quest for delegates.
The headquarters will be located in
washington. Charles D. Hilles, secre-
sary to the president, will temporarily
seliaquish the Office he now holds and
take charge of the Taft campaign. If
MS campaign succeeds he will become
chairman of the Republican national
committee. 1t is believed that Post
the job, but declined it.
Funds for the Campaign.
Arrangements for the campaign are
aai the hands of Senators Crane of
Massachusetts, Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania and Smoot Of Utah. The rela-
tionship of these men to large bust
ness: interests is expected to result in
HberaF contributions to the Taft cam
paign fund. Senator Crane said that
he believed that President Taft could
count upon a solid delegation from the
New Englasd states. This is an op-
timistic view. 1t is known that there
is d strong Roosevelt under current in
Massachusetts and the La Toilette
movement has made considerable
Roadway there. The same situation
exists in New Hampshire, where Gov
ernor Bass is classed as a progressive.
Vermont is said to favor Associate
Justice Hughes over either Mr.. Taft
or Colonel Roosevelt, but would prefer
Mr.. Taft to Roosevelt.

twenty years ago Jacob Fjelde was
well known in Minneapolis, where he
owned a fine home and was osp

years Die The mother gave up her
fine home and for ten years struggled
with poverty, finally coming to North

Miss Deem of the normal department
of art believes that young Fjelde has
talent of a high order and that his
dream of studying in Paris and Berlin
will be achieved.

North Dakota Organizations Looking
Ahead for Good Exhibit.
North Dakota will be in splendid
condition to make extensive exhibits
Of it's products at the 1912 land show of
the Northwestern Development league
as a result of the activities of the sev-
eral district development leagues,
which have already assumed definite
shape. The handicap of time, against
which the several development organ
izations worked last year, will be re-
moved and it is confidently believed
that the exhibits will be far superior
to those worked out at the st. Paul
event.
The league officials propose to get
into touch with the farmers in their
respective territories at as early dates
as possible, enlisting their aid in max
ing selections OF products for exhibit
ton purpose. Grain and grasses, to-
gether with other products, will be col
lected early and in order that the
best results may be obtained the
f1cers for certain prescribed districts
and such officers will keep a constant
lookout for anything that would add
to the attractiveness of the general
display.
All of the leagues which exhibited at
st. Paul will continue as permanent
institutions. The Lake Region, the
Red River Valley, Missouri River
Slope and the Mouse River Loop asso-
citation will continue intact, while in
addition TO these there has already
been organized the Renville County
Development league and the Wells
County league.
