Control of Convention

Chicago. June 13.--The Missouri
compromise decision and the quick
ly following and entirely unexpected
adjournment of the Republican ma
iional committee this afternoon
brought about a situation full of un-
certainty and conflicting rumors,
which lasted throughout the evening
and refused 10 crystalize into any

varied scale. all the way from the
statement that the compromise and
sudden adjournment presaged gem
eral getting together OF the Taft and
Roosevelt factions To the naive theory
that II was To give the convention
carpenters chance TO finish their
saving and hammerng in the neigh
borhood of the committee room.
The explanation which best fits the
various known facts is that the Taft
supporters were glad to take advan-
tage of the three or four hours of
time saved by the compromise of the
Missouri cases to take account Of
stock and prepare for the struggle en-
pected over the Texas and Washing

Roosevelt's supporter professed to

their delegation at large from Mis-

their most sanguine hopes. The Taft

take the outcome complacently and

account.

sham in the senate year ago. In
that great fight the farming inter-
ests had no more able champion
than LaFollette. His blows at
the pact were telling and we'll tim
ed. His great fund of knowledge
on the teriff question stood him
we'll in hand in the congressional
debates on reciprocity with Cana
ia. His speeches bristled with
retorts against the protected man
ufactures of the east whose repre-
sentatives and President Taft
we're straining every nerve for the
passage of Canadian reciprocity.
1t is just year ago now when
Canadian reciprocity raised such
a furor of opposition all over this
state. II was then, as on many
other occasions, that the farming
interests found a real champion in
Senator La Toilette. That he did
yeoman service for the state no one
will deny. What will you and
the state do for LaFollette on
March 10? Are you going to
show your appreciation OF his SER
vices for you and your interests?

We owe anything for services to
the interests of the state. He is
the farmers friend and champion
in this campaign and we are de-
pendent on the farmers success.
All want success and prosperity
for the farmer aud we want a real
proven friend of the farmer in the
presidential chair and we are going
to vote for LaFollette for president
and for the progressive delegates
to the republican national conven-
tion. If we want public men to
fight our battles we want to help
them fight their battles. Think
all of these things over and decide
to vote for LaFollette.

IaFollette For President

Public life has ne yer had more
consistently persistent worker than
Robert LaFollette. His life has
been dedicated to efforts for the
betterment of conditions for the
great masses OF the people. He
has been fearless 6ghte'. To
enumerate the roles that he has
played in reform during the past
twenty five years could not be the
part of a newspaper article. But
one of his achievements in which
the voters Of North Dakota should
at this time be particularly inter
ested is the fight that he led
against the Canadian reciprocity
