A delegate from Kansas City, Hadley
was seated In the center Of the hall, when
Homer b. Mann Of Kansas City was sent
to the platform to nominate some one for
Attorney General.

Of the leaders.
I'VE don't KNOW ourselves now they
answered, but you start your speech,
using lots Of adJectives and superlatives,
and before you are ready to spring the
name we will send It up to you on n slip

THU Mann addressed the convention In
behalf Of an unknown. He talked for ten
minutes, lauding to the skies this myth
cal person whom he wanted the conven-
ton to nominate for the second highest
executive Office in the State.
But Mann ran out Of adjectives and
superlatives and he began to grow uneasy
as the time passed and the name he
awaited failed to materialize. In the
meantime. the leaders were racing like
mad among the eliglbles, cajoling, plead
ing, begging each to become a victim Of
a supposedly assured slaughter. All said
nay.
At this critical, or perhaps psychological
moment. Hadley noticing the discontinue
OF the orator, stirred uneasily In his seat.
Mann, still talking, was sweeping his eye
over the delegates looking for u desirable
himself, when his orbits lit upon Hadley'

he jumped to his feet to decline, when he
was seized by friends and practically
dragged to the rear of the hall.

have not been deceived by the attacks OF

when the people OF the entire state were
regreting his purpose to retire from pub

ATTORNEY GENERAL EX:
PLAINS WHY
GIVES THE REASONS WHY AS.
s sIsTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
MILLER RESIGNED HIS POSI-.
TON.

Bismarck, N. D., Mar 19-To the
Forum: Mr.. Andrew Miller, in his
announcement and through private
correspondence, has given it out that
his removal from Office of assistant at
torney general was brought about on
account of his activity in the enforce
ment of the prohibition law This
statement is absolutely false, for the
reason that turned over to Mr.. Miller
on August 10, 1907, the matter Of the
enforcement of the prohibition law.
He accepted this work after taking
the matter under advisement, consult
| ing with Gov. Burke, Colonel Little
| and other people Of Bismarck. My on
ly instruction to Mr.. Miller was that
he enforce the law in good faith and
as he found it on the statute books.
Had not desired to enforce the law,
there certainly was no obligation on
my part to appoint Mr.. Miller to this
particular branch of our work.
All of the correspondence in my of.
fee and all of my public utterances
show that started to enforce the law
from the very start and that l i'm.
pressed the subject forcibly upon all
| local officers, taking up the matter at
the time the temperance commissioner
law was held unconstitutional with all
the states attorneys. This letter is a
public document and a copy of the
same can be found in my Office at any
time.
