' ..1 T tjOOTH DAKOTA TO pE 111 LIMELIGHT Northwestern State to Monopolize Center of Attention Tuesday. C National News Association) . BISMARCK. N. D., March 16. North Dakota promises to monopolize the cantor ot the political stage next Tuesday when a State-wide primary will be held to give the voters of both the leading parties an opportunity to express their preference for candidates for the presidential nomination. The primary will be the first of its kind eter held In any of the States and will mark an Important Innovation in American politics. . The Idea of presidential preference 'primaries is an outgrowth of the direct election plan which originated in ! Oregon several years ago. The primaries in this State next week will afiford the first (demonstration of how Ithe idea works out in practice. The theory on which the scheme is based la generally conceded to be sound by ,the politicians of all parties. It is the theory that delegates who place in nomination men for the highest offices In the land should represent the people-directly, and not merely the poljitlclans. The direct elections will do i away with the' conventions, which heretofore have been held for the selection of delegates to the national conventions, and, it is believed, will Insure the carrying out of the popular will, with no miscarriages due to political manipulation. I Other Primary States. In addition to North Dakota, the 'states that will try out the primary rlan this year In the selection of the whole or a part of their delegations to the national conventions include New York, Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska, Michigan, California, Oregon, Ohio, New Jersey and South Dakota. If the results of the plan work out as its supporters anticipate, and there are found to be no counterbalancing bad effects from the new law, it is safe to ray that by 1916 the direct primary system will be adopted by practically all of the States. ' The North Dakota primaries, however, possess an Interest that Is of more direct Importance to the politicians for the time being than anything that con- ' corns the theoretical aspect of the new ldw. Upon the results of the popular :vbte to be cast here next Tuesday is 'believed to depend in no small meas1 ive the chances for success of two aspirants for the Republican presidential nomination Theodore Roosevelt and Robert M- L Follette. Of the two, the chances of La Follette are moat vitally concerned. If La Follette should sweep the State, the result would be a temporary setback for ' the Roosevelt boom. On the other hand it Is conceded on all , sides that a , pronuonced Roosevelt, victory would sound the death knell of the La Follette candidacy, for it has been claimed all along tnat the La Follette brand of progresslrelsm haa taken deeper root in North Dakota than In any other state and that the Wisconsin senator has bad proportionately a larger: number of supporters among the Republicans of North Dakota than were to be found In his home state. ' t y Strenuous Campaign. .The.' campaign which , practically ; closed today has been strenuously con- ; ducted on both sides. Many of the best speakers in the Roosevelt and La Follette camps have been stumping the Slate from end to end the past two .Weeks. The end of the fight finds the Roosevelt managers brimful of confidence In the result. They undoubtedly believe that the former Preaident will sweep the State. One of the principal grounds for their belief is found in the fact that Colonel Roosevelt is known in North Dakota better than he Is in k most states, .for he lived on a ranch ' nere for years. ,The La Follette managers are anxious for Ine weather on orlmarv da v. " ..k -J I - M. ... . aa uiuva uwpvuus upoa n in in rural .districts. The La Follette forces conAM4l III. . h viimI IrntA will V . mw wv WW .via w BUUUB for thj Wisconsin senator. The Roosevelt boosters, on the other hand, say they have nothing to fear on that v spore. .Taft's name will appear on the primary ballot, but the friends of the President long ago decided to make no . active , fight here, It Is the only State they are willing to concede to the "insurgents" without a struggle. The President has many friends here, but there are many Republicans who are. against him, some of whom are against him because they are for Roosevelt or La Follette and others whose opposition is based upon the President's es pousal of Canadian reciprocity, which waa considered Inimical to the agricultural Interests ot North Dakota. In the- Democratic party there will ,be no contest for the delegation to the Baltimore' convention as a result of an agreement between the Wilson and Harmon forces to let It go to Governor Burke. The Harmon and Wilson people ot course, are hopeful ot placing some of their men on the delegation, so that In the ""event Governor Burke has no chancer tor , the,; presidential nomination, they-will be able te support either the Ohio or the New Jersey governor.

With a guarter of a million dollars' damage to property in and immediately around Atlanta, equally as much elsewhere in this state, heavy loss in Alabama and South Carolina and nine lives thus far reported lost, besides many persons injured, this section today realizes the seriousness of yesterday's storm and floods that swept down the Chattanoocihe, Oconse, Ocmulgee and Savannah river valleys from the head waters of these streams in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains in Northeast Georgia and Western South Carolina. Two dead are reported from Dawson, Ga.; five from Headland, Ala., and two from Spartanburg, S. C. Hundreds of houses were wrecked in the storm area, hundreds of others were inundated, many small bridges wer washed away and several highway and railroad bridges were threatened with destruction. One railroad bridge over the Chattanoochie river at West Point. Ga., is reported demolished and another over South river, near Atlanta, waa swept away. Today the weather is clear and colder throughout this section. The flood tides in the streams have reached their maximum and are beginning to subside. At many points the water was reported higher than at any time since 1886 when disastrous floods swept this section. One of the most serious phases of the property damage was that suffered by a dozen large cotton mills that were forced to shut down, throwing hundreds of employes out of work.
