said one Of the men who make predic-

newspaper man last night at the ST.
Paul hotel. "Sar1es will be nominated
either by acclamation or on the first

opposition worthy the name. for Gov
Frank White has practically decided
that there is no chance for him to
secure the nomination for a third
term, and State Auditor Holmes will
be satisfied to take another term in
his present position. Seven -eighths of
the North Dakota Republicans are for
Sarles' nomination. and he will win in

Republican, occasionally under ad-
verse circumstances, and now his time
has come and he will be given the
nomination"

Judges nre Not Alarmed.

Judges II. B. Abernathy and I. H Benners when seen this morning in reference to the quo warranto proceed ings instituted by R. l.. Williams. who inquires as to their rights to sit as judges of the Inferior Court. had very little to say about the matter. Judge Abernathy said:
 We will be running these courts at this time next year. Our attorneys and other attorneys not interested in the case give their opinion that the law is constitutional. and we feel no hesitation in the matter, but will fight 1t to a finish. If we did not think it was constitutional we would relinquish all claims"
 Judge Benners declined to make any statement whatever, other than that he would do nothing iE the matter until the papers had been served on him. As vet he knew no more than what was in the newspapers.
 It will be remembered that similar proceedings have been instituted against Judge c. H. Mandy of the In- ferior Court of Ensley. and Judge Will liam Jackson of the Inferior Court of Bessemer. In the case of C. H. Mandy s court the matter was brought before Judge Charles w. Ferguson, and is still awaiting the action of that court. The case of William Jackson was also sub mitted before Judge Ferguson, and was afterwards carried to the Supreme Court.
