North Dakota Has Two Sets of |fnmans Education ety Coolidge Delegates in Race Now. By the Associated Press. FARGO, N. D, January 18—A movemery to place the name of Sen- ator Robert M. La Follette of Wiscon- sin on the ballot at the March 18 primary In this state as a candidate for President, and announcements that two sets of Coolidge delegates | to the republican convention would be in the race were important de velopments last night in North Da. kota politics. After conferences here Foliette supporters, Gerald P. Nye of Cooperstown, candidate for Congress from the second district, sald a state- wide campaign would be started im- mediately to list LaFollette on the ballot. According to Mr. Nye, men in Washington close to the Wisconsin senator have indicated such a move would have Senator La Follette’s ap- proval. At a meeting yesterday, the “inde- pendent” republican _state central committee indorsed President Cool- idge and called a state delegate con- vention for Bismarck on February 14 to name thirteen delegates to the Cleveland convention, as well as a candidate for nationai committeeman. The regular republican _committee, headed by Chairman R. W. Frazier, meeting Tecently ~at Bismarck, in- dorsed President Coolldge and named its thirteen delegate candidates. Efforts of L. B. Hanna, Coclldge campaign manager In North Dakota, to effect & compromise yesterday failed. He proposed a new conven- tion in which the various factians would get together. The “Independ- ent” committee was formed two years ago after the voters had elected the regular republican state central com- mittee with a majority of its mem- bers Non-partisan Leaguers. Commit- tee members opposed to the league refused to recognize the Non-Parti- sans and formed an “independent” committee.
