500 LINE EXPECT TO !:
BUILD THE CUT-OFN

While it has not been
officially announced yet.
private adwces are that
the construction of the cutoff
line from Minot to Max is to be
made by the 500 Line early in
the coming season. This matter
has been under consideration be-
tween the commercial clubs of
.Minot and Bismarck and the 500
Line officials for some time,
and it. has not been until re-
Gently that an expression of ia
vorable consideration has been
given out. It is claimed by the.
officials of the road that the.
construction of this short piece,
Of line-25 or 30 miles would be
quite expensive and they have
been giving it their closest con-
sideration. However, it is prac-
tically assured that the line will.
be built this season, and that a
strictly good service will be in
augurated. This will bring the
entire northwest and northern
part of the state in closest pos
sible touch with the capital city.

DELEGATES MUST FILE
THEIR PETITIONS

Last month various meetings
were held at Fargo and o her
points to nominate. delegates to
the national convention at Chi
cago. The progressive republi-
cans met a. Fargo and from re-
ports received there were nine
at the meeting who mostly nam
ed themselves as delegates A
few days later the old stand
pat republicans so called State
Central committeeman, met,
about one4haIf, and put up a
complete set Of delegates and
state committeeman. The demo-
Gratis have. done just the same
thing, split in two, and also nam
ed the de.rgates. The old-stand
pat democrat and progressive,
democrats each held a meeting,
one at Grand Forks, the other at
Fargo, and each made a full
ticket. And from all reports all
sets have been very unsatisfac-
tory to the people, as a ruse.
Now comes the attorney gen.
eral and states that ''cony1en-
tion delegates must file individ-
ual petitions"
Bismarck, N. D., Feb 2.-At-
torney General Lnde rendered
opinion that candidates for dele
gate to national conventions
must present individual petitions
as to offer collective petitions
would be to violate the spirit OF
the primary law.
Now this means that a lot Of

will stay at home and from what
we can see, they had better not
even try to circulate petition.
