CHANGE IN
NO. DAKOTA
MAD SCRAMBLE OF NEW SEEK.
ERS OR STATE AND FED
ERAL OFFICES.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 26.-There has
been a complete political metamorpno
sis in North Dakota as result Of the
recent election. For score Of years
he Democrats have had no opportu,
nifty to secure federal positions, I'd,
on the other hand, for the past six
years the Democrats have had the
governor of this state and nearly all
the North Dakota appointments have
been held by them and the radical in.
surgent, with whom Governor Burke
divided the spoils.
A Democratic president and Re-
publican governor are causing a
litical scramble such as has never be-
fore been witnessed in this state.
The Republicans will be driven from
the land Offices, the postoff1ces, the
United States marshalship, the rev.
enue collectorships and customs
places. Several Of the appointees to
those positions have long terms to run
and the complete change is not likely
to be perfected for a long time.
Many Scramble for Jobs.
There are already from six t.
Democrats seeking the chief federal
positions. The hustle for state Jobs
is almost as strenuous. For six years
the Republicans have watched the
Democrats enjoy the plums. As a
result Governor-elect Hanna is being
besieged by veritable herd of ONCE
seekers There are actually over fifty
applicants for some places. The
wardenship Of the state prison, the
two chief game wardenships, the land
commissioner, and various board ap-
pointments are eagerly sought.
Hanna Goes to Arizona.
Governor-elect Hanna left for Phoe-
nix, Arizona, where he is to NEE
with the Indian affairs commit
tee for awhile. Before leaving he
made the statement that no final
promises of positions would be made
until his return from congress about
Dec. IS. He will resign his position
in congress about Dec. IL to prepare
to assume his duties as governor early
in January.
The resignation Of Mr.. Hanna will
leave North Dakota until March =
with but one congressman. This was
the case once before when Congress
man Gronna was advanced to the sen
atorship before the expiration Of his
term in the lower house. For the
first time In it, history, North Dakota
will have three congressman after
March 4.
