Special to The Journal. % y
Fargo, N. D., April 8.-A new whirI has
been given the political machine by the
suggestion of Banker III. r. Lyon of Nam Isl
dan as candidate for state treasurer
The suggestion of his candidacy comes
from sources antagonistic to r. NJ TutGa
tie, the boss of Morton county affairs, and
to Deputy Insurance Commissioner CHI:
breath. The latter is slated for the COM
on the retirement Of Leutz,a
also of Morton. aW
E. G. Cooper of Grand Forks is ALSO
after the. place and there Is some talk OFF
the futile opposition in Morton countys
making a deal to support Cooper for ints
surance commissioner in order to defeat
Gilbreath. Ne
There, is much opposition to futile as
result OF the exposures being made ins
the Ramharter' deal, by which several
lots were sold for delinquent taxes. Tut-g
tie, however, is in complete charge of the
Morton county machine. He has called
an early convention for electing delegates
to the state conventions and naming the
county ticket, and hopes to shape every
thing before the fight against him be-
comes too bitter. His organization has
been very strong and It is doubtful II
he can be whipped at once.
Opposition to White. atft
The announcement that Secretary 81
State Porter would be a dark horse cam
didate for governor doesn't seem to create
a great deal of enthusiasm. A few pa-f
pers have favorable editorials. These ars
from men who oppose both White and
Sarles. ;9. st5s
The friends of Sarles are especially acss
tive and the publicity feature Of his cam s
paign Is being we'll worked.
Governor Whites opposition outside his
own county is increasing. A recent issue
OF the Washburn Leader contained a se-
we're arraignment of the executive by
State Senator johnson. The latter is a.
leading Scandinavian and he relates his
efforts a year and a half ago to get thes
governor to issue proclamation to help
the Scandinaviaps to raise funds tn as-.l
sist the starving in Sweden.
i The action Of Governor Val;
Minnesota was pointed out to I'D
ernor and he was requested to 2as
| thing Of the same nature, but JG ~.
sists that White refused, largel
of his opposition to Van SAINT or ~
ger issue. Johnson calls on til
| Of the state to remember thi
and be ready to fight White if
up for denomination, as announced.
Flight Upon Him at Home s9A
| In his home county the fight against
| White is becoming more bitter. Repre-
sentative Young Is putting up a big fight
to control the delegation At Valley City,
the home of both men, two Of the papers
are for Young and one for White. Other
| publications in the county are about
! equally divided. Young feels confident he
will secure the delegation in his inter-
ests as a candidate for lieutenant gov
erner. - 90
i The advocacy Of the Valley City Times
Record for Whites return, because 1T
was alleged White kept the Barnes coln-
ty realty assessment at low figures, has
aroused a lot Of criticism and resulted In
the airing Of the governors position re9
garding railroad assessments.
Slope Not Committed TO Him.
j It has been asserted by the friends Of
the governor that the entire slope section
Of the state would be for his renomina-
ton. The last issue of the Bismarck Pail
ladium enters an emphatic denial Of this
report and says Burleigh and Mclean
counties are for Sarles all the time.
king john Satterlund. receiver Of the
Bismarck land office, and owner Of ths
Washburn Leader, in Mclean county, is
one of the bitterest opponents of Gov
ernor White. Satterll1ld generally con.
trolls the Mclean county delegation and
his pronounced attitude will no doubt haVe
it's effect. 'ss
