Bosses Call.
The following is MI. Bosses call:
"Owingto the drastic percentage law
passed by the last legislative assem-
bly,, the progressive party did not Sc
cure votes enough at the primary cleo
ton to W. the state ticket go on the
ballot for the general election in No
vember. There being no particular
contest IN for nomination for the re-
spective offices, many who registered
as members of the progressive party,
did not go to the polls, and although
there were enough progressive voters
registered throughout the state to equal
the percentage required to get on the
ballot, it did not avail in the matter
Of nomination, as they were not cast.
In order to secur a place on the bal
lot without going through a tedious
and expensive court procedure, 1t a
been thought advisable to call a mass
party convention of the progressive
party electors of the state, at the Sons
Of Norway hall, Fargo, Friday, July
"a, the coming week, to nominate q
full state ticket. This is done by vir-
tue Of section sol, of the Revised Code
of 1899, which the supreme court holds
is in force at the present time. The
convention is called at this time, for
the purpose Of completing the C
at one and also on account of the re-
duced rates given by the railroads,
for attendance at the state fair. A
speaker of national reputation Is ex-
pected to be in attendance at the som
ventiOn."

gressive party committee organization,
