WILL
TALK TONIGHT
VIII Discuss Present Political
Situation

Henry ]. Allen of Wichita, Kas., edi-
tor Of The Wichita Beacon and known
as the original Kansas Roosevelt pro-
gressive, will be the speaker tonight
at the Fargo operahouse in behalf OF
Roosevelt's candidacy for the republi-
can presidential nomination in Chica-
go next June.
Mr.. Allen made a big speech last
night at Grand Forks at the Metro
politan theatre and was welcomed by
a large crowd. When he had conclud-
ed his address, which was wholly i'm
promptu, he was so loudly cheered
that he was compelled to speak again
for another half hour.
Tonight Mr.. Allen will discuss the
political issues of the campaign at the
Fargo operahouse and it is expected
there will be a large audience present.
He Is man who is well known in
political and journalistic circles of
Kansas and a close friend of Governor
Stubbs Of the sunfower state who is
one of the ardent Roosevelt supporters.
As speaker he is very forceful and
interesting. Even the democratic poll
ticians have expressed much pleasure
in hearing which is great compliment
to any speaker to have members Of the
opposition express themselves in such
manner. ..,as.-. ,~#
At Grand Forks. ......s
The Herald says In part OF the Grand
Forks meeting:
Urging the republicans of North Da-
kota to stand together and not be
fooled by the democrats into throwing
away the vote Of the state, H. j. Allen
Of Wichita, Kas., presented the claims
Of Theodore Roosevelt as the one can
didate for the republican presiden-
tial nomination in a striking and able
manner. Mr.. Allen declared in no I'M
certain terms that he believes in La
Toilette, that LaFollette and Roose-
velt are working toward the same pro-
gressive end in government, but that
in this campaign, there is a mightier
issue than that of men. The speaker
declared that he did not believe the
people Of North Dakota would be fool
ed by w. J. Bryan and the democrats
into sending a LaFollette delegation
to Chicago.
North Dakota's ten electoral votes
will not be drop in the bucket when
the Chicago convention comes" de-
clared the speaker. But North Da-
kota's stand on next Tuesday will have
the force of 100 delegates If the choice
OF that vote is Theodore Roosevelt and
/ am confident that the people of this
state are broad minded and far sighted
enough to realize the situation"
Il think the sentiment at Grand
Forks is fast changing to Roosevelt"
said Mr.. Allen to a Forum represen-
tative today. THE people are awaken
ing to the realization that he is the
only man who can lead the progress
sive cause to victory. More and more
they are learning that this fight here
is only a sham battle and the North
are too good as marksmen to
FIRE at anything other than the mark
itself"
At the meeting this evening at the
Fargo operahouse DR.. Creegan, presi- 4
dent Of Fargo college, who is an ardent
Roosevelt supporter, will preside as
chairman of the occasion and intro
duce Mr.. Allen to his audience.

THIS Fight
These Are Words Of Beveridge
on Boosting 7. R.
Mere Prospect Of His NOnina-
ton Scared DemS.
Great Indiana Progressive
Pleads for Roosevelt

indianapolis, Ind, March 14.--Albert
j. Beveridge, the former senator from
Indiana, delivered a telling address
here last nigh in the interests of the
candidacy of Theo. Roosevelt for
president. He said in part:
"As party men we want to win. AS
citizens we want the great forward
movement in American life to go on.
That is why we want, as our candi-
date for president, the leader of that.
movement and the man who surely
can be elected, Theodore Roosevelt.
What republican do democratic pol
iticians most fear? The mere pros
pect of Roosevelt's nomination scared
the democratic politicians SO badly
that they actually proposed to put off
the date of the democratic national
convention. Before then, they believed
that they would have a waIkaway next
November.
But this Is no mere struggle for po-
litical Office. 1t is no ordinary party
contest. The welfare OF a nation is
wrapped up in this fight. The pros
perity of honest business and the daily
bread Of wage earners is involved. IL
We nominate candidate who will be
beaten, the result will be what hap
pened to the country once before un-
der the same conditions. No man the
democrats can nominate will make
as strong president as Cleveland
was. The democratic leaders in the
house of 1912 are not the equals OF the
democratic leaders in the house Of
1893. On the other hand, the demo.
cratic Germans in the senate of that
day were no stronger than those who
now stand in the senate for what Cor
man stood for then. So republican de-
feat in 1912 would mean just what ii
did In 1892.

enough on the hundreds OF thousands
