and will not support President Taft

Mr.. Barnes says that he would not
represent the wishes or the best in

In nomination If he voted for Presi-
dent Taft, and that his own convic-
tions make it impossible to support
the nominee of the Republican ma

Declaring his answering adher-
ence to Progressivism, Mr.. Barnes
announces that he will support the
Progressive party program and it's
candidates in the coming campaign.
His standing as q man and his prom
inence in his home section will add

gressive party in the western half Of

Mr. Divet is gifted with a most

A. G. Divet was born in the year
1870, in Olmsted county, MINI.
He came to North Dakota in the
year 1879, and has since been a res
ident of this state. His education
was obtained in the public schools
and finished by a two years course
in the University of Wisconsin,. He
acquired his training In law while
acting as court stenographer for
Judge Lauder. He was admitted to
the bar in 1898; practiced two years
in Sergeant county, and then moved
to Wahpeton, where he became ~
s1ociated with Senator w. e. Purcell.

nominee for governor, will announce
his support of Theodore Roosevelt.
The question of third ticket will
be put up to the Republican state
committee at its meeting in Bismarck
and that body will be asked to as
sure the Roosevelt men that the men
on the Republican state ticket are
real Progressives. The state COM
mittee is made up Of LaFollette men.
The general expectation Of those
on the inside of the new party's plan
is that the LaFollette men will unite
with the Roosevelt men, and that no
action will he taken for a new state
ticket. This plan may be changed
in the event the old Progressives
want to continue their fight against
Hanna but in the event of his In
dorsement Or Roosevelt a scompro-
mise might be agreed upon.
The whole issue will be submitted
to the party's convention at Fargo,
Sept. 6, when Colonel Roosevelt
speaks there. Many who were for
Roosevelt in the presidential prefer

be against him now unless the third
