Both Parties Look
To North Dakota Now

FARGO, N, D., Jan. 17.--with the as.
sempiing OF the party leaders in this
city 1t is expected that before the end
or the present week some line may be
Drawn on the probable choice or the
Democrats Of North Dakota for the
Presidential nomination. From the fact
that North Dakota will be the first
State In the Union to declare it's Presi.
Dental choice this year, the eyes of
both parties are naturally turned in
this direction.
The primaries will be held March IL.
when both the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will vote at the same precincts as
in a general election and will declare
their preference for the Presidential
nomination by name. The progressive
Republicans have been actively at work
for some time in the interest Of the
La Toilette candidacy, but until the
present week the Democrats have shown
little activity. As North Dakota is one
Of the strongholds OF the progressive"
movement Il Is thought likely the Demo-
Gratis Of the State will incline more to
Woodrow Wilson than to Judson Har-
mon, though the Ohio governor has
many warm admirers.

Prospects are growing brighter for
the enactment by Congress of the
Federal pay bill for National Guards
men. For several years the National
Guard has been urging such legislation
and working for II. Now 1t has reached
a point where the House Committee on
Military Affairs Is about ready to report
favoraoly the Pepper bill. introduced by
Congressman Pepper of Iowa, which
provides for a system Of Federal pay
for the organized militia and which
meets the wishes of the National Guard
and is desired by the War Depart
ment.
A large majority Of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs is for the
Pepper bill. It will not be Immediately
reported out, inasmuch as the commit

The War Department has advised the
committee that It will take about q
year to get ready to put the proposed
law into effect and to get the necessary
machinery organized. Therefore, II IL
pointed out by those anxious for the
legislation, that there is no objection
to delaying the actual appropriation OF
money for q year.
A canvass of the situation by the
friends Of the bill discloses that II
probably will pass the House and that
the outlook for It also Is good in the
Senate. The difficulties of getting II
through the Senate, however. will be
greater than those in the House.
Advocates OF the bill take the posi-
ton that the operation Of such q law
as proposed will be not only to en-
hance the efficiency of the National

to make 1t unnecessary to maintain q

One Of the chief troubles in keeping
up guard organizations is to get the
men out to drill one night q week, or
even less often than that. Under the
Federal pay system, q small sum would

organizations who attained a certain
