SUMNER RATE ON RAILROADS
North DakOtans Will Not Have tn Pa,
Full Fare in Going to Pleasure
Resorts.
North DakotanS will nroha bIv have

the advantage of a 2-ccnt a to the
pleasure resorts this summer. While
1t has not been given out officially
that car fare will be reduced during
the hot months. it was announced to.
day or we'll authenticated information
that a 2-cent rate would go into eff
feet before the lake season is very far
advanced.
In Minnesota a reduced rate will
prevail all summer to the resorts and
a special rate will go into effect for
the various big conventions to be held
about the state.
One reason that North Dakota will
probably get a reduction in the cost
of travel this summe is that the
Sangerfest to be held in Fargo will
bring hundreds of visitors from this
and adjoining states to that city and
this alone will warrant III railroad
companies making the special excur-
sion rate, it is said.
Grand Forkers who so to Maple
Lake and other lakes of Minnesota
for their weekend outings and sum
mer vacations will rejoice at the pro-
posed reduction. though it be only
one-half cent per mile.

OHIO VOTES TODAY.
State Primaries May Decide Fate Of
Presidential Candidate.

Columbus, O., Nav 20.-Today' s
primaries in Ohio, it is believed will
decide the fate of at least two of
the presidential candidates. Political
prophets declare that if President
Taft and Governor Harmon fail to
carry their own state they might as
well put on their hats and say Good
night" Both the president and Col.
Roosevelt have realized the impor-
tance of capturing the vote of the
Buckeye state and their stump
speaking tours have stirred up the
voters to an extent that it is believed
that an unprecedented number of
men will cast votes in the primaries
today. Both Taft and Roosevelt fol-
lowers appear to be confident of the
outcome. William J. Bryan has tour
of the state to campaign against Gov.
Harmon, but whether he has aroused
enough sentiment against the COVER
nor to cause his defeat is doubtful
Should Governor Harmon fail to get
the support Of Ohio Democrats it is
believed that he will retire from the
race for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
Today's voting in Ohio will just
about end the campaign for the nomi-
nation, and the result here will have
great influence on the conventions
and primaries yet to come, especial
ly the New Jersey primary week
from today. Followers of President
Taft admit that today's issue will be
vital to his candidacy, declaring that
victory today will insure his nomina-
ton, while a defeat might seriously
injure his chances.
