LAND PATENTS PILlNG UP
IN LAND OFFICE.
May Be Secured Free OF Cost, Only
Application By Entrymen Being
Required

Washington, July 19.-The COM
missioner of the general land office
says that at the present time $50, 900
land patents are held in the general
land office awaiting the application of
the owners to receive them. The
possession Of a patent is not abso-
lutely necessary to pass title to the
entrymen, consequently thousands. of
entrymen entitled to patents do not
make application for them and they
have accumulated until they have ag-
gregated the number stated. Recent
ly some enterprising law firms have
been writing to entrymen offering TO
secure their land patents for them
for nominal sum, and apparently
are doing literally Gland office"
business. The services Of attorneys
are not necessary in order to obtain
these patents, and those entitled to
them can obtain them by making ap-
plication to the officials of the local
land office in which their entries are
situated without cost.

North Dakota Democrats Hopeful
OF Success

Bismark, N. D., July "a. The dem
ocrats have strong hopes of carrying
North Dakota in the presidential cleo
tion next November for the first time
in the history Of the state. The party
leaders rounded up here today to re-
organize the state committee and
take other steps preliminary to start
ing up vigorous campaign in behalf
OF the national and state ticket.
North Dakota is peculiarly situat-
ed as far as the national situation is
concerned. On the republican side
It is already strongly progressive, but
the leaning of the progressive
republicans all along has been to-
wards LaFollette rather than Roose-
velt. In the primaries last March
the state was easily carried by the
Wisconsin senator against both Taft
and Roosevelt.
Many of the progressives are in
clined to look upon Roosevelt as
having been responsible for the de-
feat or elimination from the presi-
dental race of LaFollette. Demo
cratic influences are being employed
to foster the feeling of resentment
against Roosevelt in the hope that
a part of the progressive republican
vote may be turned to Wilson.
Should this move meet with any large
amount Of success it is reasonable
to expect a democratic victory in
North Dakota next fall.
The democrats themselves are pre-
pairing to 60 into the campaign with
more confidence than they have ever
displayed before. Steps are being
taken to smooth out all of the fac
tional differences within their ranks
and to present solid front They
believe they may be able to elect
their state ticket and win at least
| one congressional seat in the even
