Johnson faction of that party jump
ed into the game on the first posi-
BILE date for filing, with a ticket
headed with the name "Wilson,'
and they have given out the intima-
ton that they intend to apply the
late ruling of the United States SUI
preme court on that trademark, and
take anyone into court under con-
tempt if they come forward with the
temerity to oppose their rights. The
Wickham faction say that no one
has a trade mark on the name Will
son, or in fact any other name, and
that when they get ready they will
file under a motto of their own,
which will comply with the law
which prevents two filings under
the Same motto" and which they
say will not be transgressed if they
change it from the exact wording of
the first filing. Some Of the radi-
calls even go so far as to say that if
they get in a filing with the name
democrat or republican upon it they
have secure the sole right OF use of
that NAME, nj no one else can use
it but they are going farther than
the general contention.
So far as the republicans are con
cerned, r. o. Richards of Huron,
who has all along claimed to be the
original La Toilette man in the state
is at work securing a straight out La
Toilette list of delegates for filing.
He claims to base his action on Il let
ter from La Toilette, denying that he
las ever agreed to a joint La Fol
and the present contest in North Da-
lota gives strong color to his claim
The Mitchell and Sioux Falls back
ers of an exclusively Roosevelt list
CT delegates, which they expected to
select at Il meeting at Aberdeen this
week, have met a black eye, in the
open letter by the northwest manag-
er of the Roosevelt campaign, that
the Sioux Falls list is satisfactory to
Roosevelt, and that he does not want
another ticket in this state AS
chairman Vessey of that list is for
Roosevelt, and other members lean
strongly his way when it comes to
a choice between the hat" and the
''pompadour," there is no reason APP
parent here why Roosevelt would
want anything better than he now
has, and there is good reason why
La Toilette should be suspicious OF
the situation.
