The statement that there was an I'M
fortunate division of progressives in North

only division in broad way which was
made in North Dakota was that of the
progressives from the reactionaries. who
practically all supported Col. Roosevelt.
The managers of Col. Roosevelts

fact that the vote in the primary was
