WILLIAMSPORT. NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY,

letter of the law, but the deductions there.
from are based on the opinion of one of
the prominent attorneys of Bismarck.
1t would certainly have been better in the
first place to have called an election in
the Third district and have let the people
choose their own commissioner. A
technicality intervened, but all would
forgive an official who was in the habit of
violating technicalities only in the inter-
est of justice and right.
But the most important phase of the
matter is this If Hasper was illegally
chosen, and has acted as commissioner
without authority. it may lead to bad
complication of matters. Would it not,
therefore. be a measure in the interest of
public safety for the full board at its
meeting on the S0th of this month to join
with the county judge and auditor and
give to Mr.. Hasper clear title to the
commissionership, after which the busi.
ness of the last meeting could be approved
by legal board2 The Record recog.
nizes the power of the Armstrong
kowerdink combination in this instance,
and it only asks them to accomplish their
object.in manner that will not leave q
loophole for future questioning of the
acts of the board.
In conclusion we will state that the
pages of the Record are open to both
Auditor Armmstrong and Judge Rover
dink to defend the legality of the ap.
pointing board, and that each of them
will be given therefor, if they wish, a.
much space as this article occupies
