ComstOck in Danger.

Members Of the republican committee
generally believe that Attorney General
0. G. Comstock will be retired this year.
Comstock will get the delegation from his
own county. but the sentiment among the
men who help make the states is that the
last campaign demonstrated he is too big
load for the party to carry. Grand
Forks is also attempting to realize on
this opportunity and J. A: Sorley is dis
cussed as possible candidate. Railway
commissioner j. J. Youngblood Is an
avowed candidate for the place. Former
State Senator F. w. Arnes Of Mayville IS
a favorite among many members of the
republican committee. 1t is argued that
this would give Trail county proper rec
ignition and that Ames would make
capable official State Treasurer D. H.
Mcmillan says he wants another term.
Secretary of State E. F. Porter said yes
terday that he would not be a candidate
for governor, but wants another term In
his present position. Porter is for White
for governor and is generally credited
with being an aspirant for guberna torial
honors two years hence.

fact that no republican Of prominence

Members Of the committee who are

fellow, and outside of his poor handling

Prominent republicans, who are more
critical, say that Whites administration
has been the most colorless of any in the
