NORTH DAKOTA PROGRESSIVE
Returns Show That LaFolette Will
Have 5000 Majority.

Grand Forks, N. D.-Robert NJ. La.
Follette's majority will not be far
from $4,000 when the final presiden-
tial preference primary returns are
received and may be heavier. Of the
total vote LaFollette has polled about
$4,000 votes, while Roosevelt has poll
ed about $4,000. The Taft vote in
the state has only been about 5000
The trend of the vote throughout the
state as indicated by the incoming
returns was interesting.
1t is in the western congressional
district that the greatest surprise was
found. The entire northern part of the
district, consisting of group of eight
counties, went to LaFolette solidly,
giving him a plurality of about 5000.
In the southern part of the district
this lead was increased.
