Fargo. N. D., Sept. 5.-Colonel Roose-
welt is to carry his campaign into
North Dakota tomorrow. His program
calls for set speeches in this city ana
jamestown, with a number of short
addresses at train stops. The Roose-
welt visit has aroused much interest
among the politicians of all parties
of speculation on the results IL NAV
have In the coming election. The poll
tical situation In North Dakota at the
present time is probably different from
that presented i'm any other State.
In the Republican primaries last
spring Roosevelt was badly beaten by
La Toilette. The delegates To the
national convention at Chicago voted
for La Toilette from start TO finish. II
Is said that many OF the Progressive
leaders here are still inclined TO look
upon Roosevelt as having been respon-
sibe for the elimination of the Wis
consin senator from the presidential
race. Lately the Democrats nave un-
dertaken an organized campaign to
turn the anti-Taft votes from Roosevelt
to Wilson Whether the Roosevelt
clsit will be able 10 stem the tide
Of this movement remains to be- seen.
