Co. Fargo, N. D. Were the election to be held tomorrow, and that's about the most accurate basis for calculation thus early, the state of North Dakota would cast its electoral vote for Senator Robert M.

La Follette for president. -L The "Real Republicans" as the wing of the Republican party which is fight ing the Non-Partisan league style themselves, will not concede the triumph of La Follette however, on election day. They Insist that with the proper aid from the Republican national organization there is still a chance to carry this state for Presi dent Coolidge. Many things are happening which might make such an outcome probable as the campaign Etrategy of all concerned is unfolded. For one thing rt is charged, though vehemently denied, that the conservative Democrats have entered into a formal understanding to abandon Davis and support Cooi-idge so as to be sure and keep the state's vote from going to La Follette.

The argument employed is that the Democrats will be throwing away votes if they vote for Davis and they will help the fusion state ticket oi conservative Republicans and Democrats by supporting Coolidge. An unusual situation exists here In that the Democratic nominee for governor has the open endorsement ano support of the "real Republicans" because they want to defeat the regular Republican nominee for governor who is sponsored by the Non-Partisan league. The latter is out working for La Follette. The Non-Partisan leaguers have pronounced the fusion to be part of an effort of their opponents to win for the state ticket and at the same time carry the state for Coolidge. MONEY CAME FROM G.

O. P. About 40,000 voters wrote their names on stickers but it is conceded that much of the money for these stickers came from Coolidge men. So in analyzing the primary vote in which Coolidge received 52,816 while Johnson received 32,633 and LaFollette 40,252. it is fair to assume that some of that vote that went to both Johnston and LaFollette now will go to- Coolidse.

The LaFollette supporters claim they are not making an active cam palgn but they say the Wisconsin leader will poll almost as many votes as Coolidge and Davis combined. Just now the Coolidge campaign Is held up by a mixup over the placing of Coolidge electors on the ballot. In a recent meeting of the Non-Partisan leaguers and the "real Republicans" it was agreed by the former that the four LaFollette electors whose names would ordinarily go on the ballot under the name of Coolidge because they won in the primaries would resign and that five bonaflde Coolidge electors would be chosen. The hestitancy of the Non-Partisan leaguers to bring about these resigna tions ha scaused much comment and a suit may be started to adjust matter. The leaguers say they will carry out their agreement and give the Colldge electors their place on the ballot as was done in Wisconsin but they do not want the LaFollette elect ors placed on an Independent column but in the list of "individual nominations" where their candidates for state offices will be listed.

This situ ation ultimately will be straightened out but It is just now holding up the Coolidge campaign. general severely criticized Mr. Davis "for referring to alleged misconduct By Associated Press Columbus, O.
