REPUBLICANS Appearance of Third Party in The Field Forces Old Factions to Unite in Opposition, STALWARTS FEEL THE WHIP Must Get Into Line or Followers of Teddy Will Make Way With The Spoils, LA FOLLETTE MEN STILL ACTIVE Believe They Still Have a Chance to Get Nomination for Wisconsin Man in 191. By United Press. D.. indirectly Fargo, N. Dec. 26.—Uncon- the Bull Moose organization is doing quite ef- sciously and fective work in uniting the Republi- can party of North Dakota. For many years there have been bitter faction- al differences among the Republicit of the state. At times they have seemed almost irreconciliable, but the injection of the Bull Moose campaign into the state has resulted in some of the Republicans getting together. It had been noticeable for a year or two that here was less bitterness between the factions than at a form- er period and more of a spirit of for- get and condone. The radically pro- gressive Republicans have strongly resented the efforts of the Bull Moos- ers to run things in this state. The latter are regarded somewhat in the ligh of interlopers anxious to grab the fruits of the victory for which the Progressive Republicans have labored many year The situation in North Dakota is regarded now as one in which both elements of the Republicans will unite themselves against a common foe. The former stalwart wing with the retirement of President Taft, have no particular national affiliations. The Progressive wing which so strongly supported La Follette still hopes to nominate him four years hence. The two factions have a common opponent in Roosevelt, the Stalwarts for what he did to Taft, and the Pro- gressive Republicans because they in- sist he endeavored to steal La Fol- lette’s thunder. Leaders of both former factions of the Republicans in North Dakota nom insist all genuine Republicans must unite and preserve the integrity of the organization in this state.
