o. Hellstrom, warden of the state
penitentiary at Bismarck; Carl Nell
son, Cando editor, candidate for state
oil inspector; William Collins, ma
tional committeeman and other Dem
ocrats, had a conference in Grand
Forks yesterday and last night. While
they did not care to discuss matters,
it is stated that the conference was
held for the purpose of discussing
appointments.
While Nelson is strong candidate
for oil inspector, he has formid-
able rival in the person of Jack Nc
Andrews, of Fargo. McAndrews is
claimed to have the inside track, al
though some think it would be MAX
ing it pretty strong to give Fargo
both the pen warden and oil inspec-
tor. 1t is said to be practically GER
tain that Attorney Purcell, of Wah-
peton, will receive one Of the appoint
ments for supreme court justice. The
other place on the supreme bench
is likely to land in Ward or Grand
Forks counties.
The harmony meeting held here is
preliminary to the state committee
meeting in Fargo tomorrow, when
definite action will be taken on the
matter of appointments
1t is generally conceded that Frank
Wilson will not receive reappoint-
ment as oil inspector. -.
