PR0GRESSIVES
TO MEET SOON

Helena, Mont, March ga call
for II state meeting of progressive re-
publicans. to be held in Helena on
April II. signed by George w. Farr
Of Miles City, president Of the pro-
gressive republican league, was issu-
ed today, following Il conference of
progressives. The conference, act
ing as the executive committee Of the
league, also adopted resolutions con-
demning the action Of the state cen
trail committee last night in endors-
ing Taft and rejecting the plan for
holding preferential primaries; and
expunged the name Of c +. Crull,
state committeeman from Mussel-
shell county, from the records of the
league. This was done because Mr..
Crull, though attending the Billings
meeting Of progressives, voted last
night with the machine wing.
"The Progressive Republican," a
four page newspaper, appeared on the
streets today. Under the caption
there is thus sentence: "Put the Am
algamated Out of State Politics."
The editorial page says the paper-.is
issued by authority ef the Lewis aud
Clark county prOgreBsfve e'leaghe, ,xhd
that it will be issued weekly.
j. Henry Nibble of Billings, secre-
>tary of the state league says the con-
ference today was attended by COM
mitteeman of the league from over 20

counties, and that the others were
represented by proxies. He declined
to give the names Of those present.
The call for the April meeting ex-
tends an invitation to all republicans
who believe in progressive principals,
whether members of the organized
league or not. Organizations Of pro-
gressive republicans are urged to
send representative delegations. and
it is declared: '"The fight for popular
government must be, and can be, won
by the plain people,"
The resolutions adopted today ap-
pear over the ''order Of the executive
committee" Of the progressive league.
They follow:
"Whereas, the republican state GEN.
tral committee of Montana, regularly
called and in session at Helena on
March 90, 1912, rejected u resolution
which was introduced solely for the
purpose Of giving to the republicans
Of this state All opportunity Of ex-
pressing their individual preferences
in the selection Of a republican presi-
Dental nominee; and,
"Whereas, the state central COM
mittee. purposely and designedly ig-
nored All overwhelming sentiment in
favor Of progressive principals. and
Whereas, the said committee ex-
ceeded its authority by adopting reso-
lutions which were and are intended
to prevent an expression in opposi-
ton to the views of it's members, and
the selection Of Il presidential nom-
inee, and
Whereas, the said central COM
mittee exceeded it's authority in per-
fecting its organization, by increas-
ing its membership, and arbitrarily
selecting such additional members.
"Therefore, for the purpose OF as
certaining the will of the majority Of
Montana republicans.
''TlMt the progressive league of re-
publicans of Montana adopt and ap.
prove the plan as suggested for a
presidential primary or such other
method OF voting as may be desired
with the same purpose in view. and
to this end We pledge our support and
best efforts

NORTHWESTERN PRODUCTS
EXPOSITION UNDER WAY.

The second annual Northwestern
Products Exposition is beginning to
l0om large on the horizon Of great
events for 1912. at Il recent meeting
Of the executive committee Of the
Northwest Development League, it
was determined to accept the invita-
tion from Minneapolis business in
terests to hold the Northwestern Pro-
dpets Exposition in Minneapolis from
Tuesday, November 18th, to Saturday.
November 23rd, 1912.
The new coliseum. Il thoroughly up
tO-date building, has been secured for
the exposition.
Every community throughout the
states of Minnesota. North and South
Dakota, Montana. Idaho. Washington
and Oregon has felt the impetus given
development throughout this area by
the first annual show given by the
Northwest Development League in
st Paul in December. 1911. Probab-
ly no other agency used during the
past calendar year to attract the at
tention of homeseekers to the oppor-
tunities in the northwest achieved 80
much good for the ''zone Of plenty"
rs the st. Paul land show. 1t was
credited by experts with being the
best display OF farm products held
during year when expositions were
rivaling each other for hOnOrs
throughout the entire country from
New York to the Missouri.
The Minneapolis exposition will be
the greatest ever held. 1t is conii-
IDENTIFY expected that the attendance
of over $4,000 ut the st. Paul show
will be very largely increased ut the
next exposition. This annual expo
stlon is now being established as Il
permanent feature of the work Of the
Northwest Development League.
Every community and local develop
ment organization in the Northwest
are now actively at work laying plans
for bringing Il larger and better ex-
hihit to the Northwestern Products
Exposition next November. The re-
latiye Importance of the states en-
braced in the ''Zole e OF plenty" as
producers of agricultural wealth will
be gauged largely by the showing ut
the forthcoming Northwestern Pro-
ducts Exposition.
II full justice is done to the prOduc-
ing power of the northwest, this show
for 1912 will be a miniature world 8
fair and surpass in excellence any in

the history of the country.
