PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE.

Next Tuesday the people of North
Dakota viii for the first time express
q presidential preference--at the pTi-
mary election held for that purpose.
Being the first statewide expression
on the presidential battle the rest of
che country is closely watching the
outcome.
North Dakota is the bloody angle of
the preliminary battle and its promi-
nence at this time is out of all pro-
portion to the numerical strength OF
IT'S legation-because Of the moral
effect the success of a candidate here
may have in other states.
Only one candidate - Governor
Burke-filed on the democratic ticket
There are a large number Of candidates
for national committeeman and dele
gates to the national convention. 1t
is simply a matter of personal choice
all being for Burke.
With the republicans the situation
10 different. Petitions for Taft,
Roosevelt and LaFollette have been
fled. But no list of delegates for
Taft have been named.
By placing a cross after the name
Of Taft, Roosevelt or LaF'ollette the
voter can register his personal prefer
ence for president-but there is no
way North Dakotans can vote for
Taft delegates. The Taft supporters
can either ignore the delegates entire
Iy. or, after expressing their prefer
ence for one of the three candidates,
give certain men a vote, regardless of
whether they are for Roosevelt or La
Toilette.
But the supporters Of Roosevelt and
LaFollette win be abIe--not only to
vote. directly for their favorite candi-
date for ''e presidency--but also to
cast their ballots for the delegates who
are in the race with the avowed dec
laration to support each of these men.
This list of delegates will all be
junbied up--with nothing on the ballot
to Indicate which are for Roosevelt or
which stand for LaFollette. It will be
necessary for the voters either to
Enernorize the list of names or to carry
into the booth a slip containing the
~ =
esates.
The candidates for presidential elec.
tors favorable to Roosevelt are:
S. M. Ferris,
Roger Allin,
z. Fl. Tostevin,
M. Breen,
G. S. Buck.
The candidates for delegates to thu
national convention, who favor Colo.
mel Roosevelts denomination, are:
A. NJ. Christianson,
John w. Scott.
II. J. Linde,
TorRer Sinness,
Smith Stinmel,
r. w. Mashek,
Alfred White,
Henry Hale,
Nicholas Hayes, ...
L. p. Hyde. ...
The presidential electoral candi
dates favorable to LaFollette are:
FL. Fl. AalSer,
3. r. Barnes,
II. w Cathro.
Gilbert Johnson,
Theodore Thompson.
Those whose wish to go as nations
delegates to vote for LaFollette are:

With our collars SIZED and our pockets

With peck of cinders in our ears
And bunch OF junk called souvenirs.
Home agin.
Home agin from the great white way,
Where s p. m. is the break of day;
Where the show trope angles" flap
their wings
AS the Holsters prowl and the hot

Home agin from the bright cafes
with their empty joys and their silly

Where the people live in two room

Where all is not bunk that you see
It's purity doggone good to be

A man with thin guaze union suit
Meant to do our hero harm,
For he threw brick and club to
boot
And called him a false alarm.
And maid who passed with a new
spring hat
In tone sarcastic told him fiat
He was a nature fake and that
He'd lost his old time charm.
A man who had just bought anthra-
cite
Scowled hard at the robins tune,
And said, You'd better fly your kite
And reserve that song till June"
Then an idea seemed to percolate
And the little boy said, sure as fate"
I had feared that I might arrive too
late,
But guess I'm here too soon.

1907 the Big Stone Gap Summer Nor
mai Institute was established in order
that the teachers OF Southwest Viz
glnia might have the advantages Of
a summer normal course without the
necessity of going a long distance
from home. The attendance the first
year was 313 In 1908, the attendance
was $40: in 1909. sos, in 1910. a27; in
1911, 276, and this year the attendance
was 30s. Tho following counties OF
Southwest Virginia were represented
this year, and the total enrolment
from each county was as follows:
