STATE CAPITOL RUN
presidential PETITIONS.

The subject OF presldentlal peC-
lions was live topic at the capitol
this morning. The laws Of 1911 pro.
viding for the election held March
10 set March list as the last day for
the filing with the secretary Of state
petitions for national committeeman
and delegates to the national con.
vention but there is nothing stipu.
lated under this new law as to when
petitions for presidential and vice
presidential petitions should be filed
therefore the old law still applies to
those particular petitions which
must be filed with the secretary OF
state thirty days before election, and
that makes Saturday of this week
the last day. So far there is only
one petition filed for Roosevelt and
that came from Valley City about a
week ago and contains less than two
hundred names. This morning there
was one petition for La Toilette, and
that came from Napoleon and that
had but fifteen names. AS yet there
are no petitions filed for Taft, but a
number of petitions were being cir
culated around the corridors this
morning for Mr.. Taft. The law re-
quires that presidential petitions
shall contain one per cent of the
highest vote cast for congressman at
the last election. Mr.. Hanna re.
ceived $1,000 votes for congress two
years ago, therefore each presiden-
tial petition must contain at least
SIG names and is expected that by
Saturday morning there will be
enough petitions received by the sec
rotary of state so that the names OF
Taft, Roosevelt and La Fonette will
appear on the ballot in proper form.
1t is said that the democrats are cir
culating petitions for Governor
Burke for president and that he will
have enough signers to have his
name also included in the ballot.
WILL HAVE A CREAMERY.
A creamery has been organized at
Hettinger with $1,000 capital stock
and it's articles of incorporation
have been filed with the secretary of
state. The directors are, John A.
Henry, o. s. Severson, Paul M.
Brown John G. Johns and Abdallah
famous, all of Hettinger.
