North Dakota is peculiarly situated
80 far as the national situation is con
cerned. ON the Republican side II is
strongly progressive. but the leaning
of the progressive Republicans all along
has been towards La Toilette -ath,r
than Roosevelt. In the primaries. last
March the State was easily carted by
the Wisconsin senator against both
Taft and Roosevelt.
Many of the progressWes are inclined
to look upon Roosevelt as having been
responsible for the defeat or climina
ton from the presidential race of L.
Toilette. Democratic 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 VIII
son. Should this move meet with any
large amount of success IL is reason
able to expect a Democratic victory ia
