with the knowledge that he lis at any

ment. (
1t appears to be q. question Of "the
devil pr the deep sea" with many OPP
posers to socialistic government here
and probably a determined effort will
be made to place a third man at the
helm, despite the strength the social
lists possess in their solid vote.
A suggestion has been offered by those
deeply interested that Davis should
resign from the ticket on the introduce
ton Of a strong third man, but this
matter has been opposed by many sup
porters Of Davis and he refuses to
commit himself in regard to his ulti-
mate procedure. Naturally, Davis
finds it difficult to resign in all honor
following the issuance Of a petition for
his recall. . s..
The reelection Of any of these, men,
however, is a very uncertain conclusion
and the filling Of their seats by social
lists would mean a majority of this
party on the commission and a repe-
tition Of the methods of city govern
ment under the LIE Seuer.

POLITICS AT
MINOT simmer

Minot, N. D., Sept. 30.-The politi-
cal pot is simmering with daily in
creasing noise in the city Of Minot,
following the success of the four recall
petitions issued against members Of
the city commission. President Davis,
Police Commissioner Shaw, Street Com
missioner Dorman and Magistrate
Lynch are all to be voted or at the
election coming Oct IS. One Of this
quartette, Dewey Dorman, the first to
be recalled, is a socialist, the others
having been elected on the fusion tick
ct when placed on the commission by
the voters Of the city. To what ex-
tent, the party seats will be rearrang-
cd at the election is the big topic Of
discussion.
THE recall Of Dorman followed a few
radical efforts and statements made
by him during his administration and
his unpopular methods Of conducting
his department of the municipality.
His recall was the combined protest
against the socialist methods employ
ed by Mr.. Dorman.
The recall Of the other three com
m~issioners came later as a return move
on the part Of the socialist party in
the city under the whip Of A. E.
LIE Seuer, former president Of the city
commission, who has been active in
undermining the other parties on the
board.
The introduction of a third party in
the field for the presidency at the
coming election will undoubtedly mean
the election Of the socialist candidate,
but this move Is being seriously consid-
cred owing to the prevalent feeling Of
the voters that Davis could not de-
feat the socialist candidate with the
entire support of the fusion ticket and
