Devils Lake Inter Ocean: In speaking
of prohibition the other day Attorney
General Spencer stated that the law is
being generally observed throughout the
state. He is aware of no city where it is
openly violated. and any complaints on
that score will be promptly attended to.
He says that when he receives Il COM
plant of this kind he Immediately noti-
les the district attorney of the coun );
i'll which the alleged infraction of the law
occurs, telling the attorney what his
duty is in the case and warming him
that if he neglects his duty the matter
will be placed in the hands of some one
who will push the prosecution. Gen.
Spencer thinks that the open saloon no
longer exists in any of the larger cities
of the state. From Wahpeton to Penn
bina, from Fargo to Bismarck and from
Grand Forks to Minot, the saloons are
closed, or at least he is not aware of any
thing which would indicate a different
state of affairs.

1t is said that considerable opposition is

to say the real cause is the dislike of tho
conservative members to swallow the
acts of the Cincinnati convention and
Muir is known to be in favor of all the
isms then adopted.
