THE WINVESG HISTORIGAL VOLUME 9. NUMBER 275. A CLEAN SWEEP FOR LA FOLLETE Carries North Dakota in Presidential Primary By a Wide Margin. PLURALITY SAID OVER 12,000 Few Precincts Which Have Not Yet Reported Will Probably Not Reduce Total. ROOSEVELT Did Not Develop Expected Strength In the Slope and Valley Counties. Results At 3:30 P. M. Grand Forks, March 20. of 1380 report 19,440 for La Fol- lette; 12,131 for Roosevelt; and 1,- 008 for Taft. 1t is belleved here that La Follette will carry the state by 12,000 to 14,000 when all of the re- turns are in. Grand Forks, March 20.—Sweep- ing across North Dakota like the storm itself, the sentiment for La Follette crystalized yesterday and he carried the state in the presidential primaries by a majority of over 12,- 000 votes. With but few precincts left to re- port the result of the election was declared a landslide. His nearest op- ponent was Roosevelt, Taft polling but a few votes. There is no prob- ability that the remaining precincts will reduce La Follette's lead. - Stormay weather in the western and southwestern parts of the state reduced the vote materially from the total it was expected to reach. The western part of the state, called the “slope country” did not develope its expected strength for Roosevelt and went for La Follette by a wide mar- gin. La Follette’s great strength was evidenced in the eastern tier of coun- ties where Cass county gave him a plurality of 1500 and Grand Forks county a plurality of 1,000. Cass county had been about conceded to Roosevelt. Pembina county was the only valley county to be carried by Roosevelt, his plurality there being about 600. The force of the La Follette move- ment has been so great that not on- ly did @e win himself but carried every candidate on his ticket and will enter the Chicago convention with not only ten delegates pledged but with ten men who are working heart and soul for him. Thomas Marshall, for national committee- man, will probably have a plurality that will equal La Follette's. Interviewed in Chicago last night, Senator La Follette said, “That’s better, even than 1 expected. I am glad to see that the so-called ‘cow country’ returned the results that it did. not be fooled by mere talk, and North Dakota can’t be shaken from its progressive trend,” Hay Land Leases Due, IS FAR BEHIND (Speclal by long distance)-—803 precincts out | i My friends in that state can- 0666000300000 0 ® QUTSIDE NEWS CONDENSRD, ¢ 20000000 PQROIOIOGS Mock National Convention.

A petition addresseq to the village culated asking for the establishment of a municipal court in Cass Lake. The petition has been signed by all the attorneys in town and by citizens generally. It is argued in favor of the movement that a municipal judge would have jurisdiction in cases to the amount of $500, while a justice of the peace has jurisdiction only in cases where the amount involved does not exceed $100. It is believed that the establishment of such-a court would tend to expedite court business for the whole county and relieve the district court of & great many cases which can now only be tried in it. It is reported that about three- fourths of the district court cases are over sums between $100 and $500, and litigants under the present sys- tem have to wait for the district court sesstons which occur only twice & year in order to get their cases ad- judicated. In the event that the council takes favorable action it is believed that it is practically the un- animous opinion of people here that Judges Ives will be recommended to Governor Eberhart for the position of municipal judge.
