stated he would not be a candidate
but it was stated today that 1t was
thought certain pressure could be
brought to bear upon him to induce

Bangs for Attorney General.
Tracy r. Bangs Of Grand Forks for
attorney general seemed quite a like
lihood this Afternoon and it is believed
that the well known attorney up the
river will be unanimously endorsed
for that place on the ticket tomorrow

the most interest aside from the gov

claimed. by many local democrats,
prominent in the councils of the party,
th~t Governor Burke will be a can

ernor's friends deny this and say he
does not want to be considered. Just
how accurate are these rumorS will
be seen tomorrow.
Sen. w. E. Purcell of Whspeton, 1t
is said, will be another strong con-
~gressional probability who is expected
will receive the general endorsement
Of the governors friends, should Gov
ernor Burke decline any endorsement
of himself.
Col. M. A, HiIdreth of Fargo, de-
feated by Congressman Hanna two
years ago, also looms up again for
the endorsement this year and is said
to be a likely candidate for congress
in any event. In the second district,
Rep. Joseph Doyle Of Darlington, APP
pears to have clear sailing for the en-
dorsement. And in the Third, Halvor
Halvorson of Minot will probably be
endorsed as no one else has appeared
on the horizon.
w. L. Richards of Dickinson was
reported this afternoon to be the gen.
eral choice for lieutenant governor
and will have little opposition for the
endorsement for second place on the
ticket. T.. g..
The County Lineup.
The session of the Cass county or
ganization will be an interesting one.
1t was rumored this afternoon that a

dorsement for sheriff for which office

Of Casselton. Oscar Simonson of
Fargo may be endorsed for register of
deeds and George veitsch of Argus
vile for county commissioner.
r. B. Blakemore, e. M. Van Amman
and E. e. Cole are considered strong
probabilities for the legislature, ]. M.

Fargo, will be endorsed for states at
torney without any opposition and 1t
