FROM CAPITAL
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR Gov
ERNoR IN 1919 RETURNS FROM
Z TRIP TO Observation-Disclosures
OF DOYLE, STATE oRGANlzA.
TIoE, AND HIS NEW RAIL.

The ability of Joe Doyle to fight the
state democratic organization both be-
o r his name was recommended to
the senate by President Wilson and
after his name had been referred to a
senate committee, points clearly to
the fact that he will be the paramount
influence with the administration
henceforth. in the distribution Of fed
eral patronage in North Dakota" de-
clared Frank o. Hellstrom Of Bis
marck yesterday evening on his return
from Washington, where he has been
for several weeks past, ever since the
opening OF the marshalship fight.
I myself was q candidate for the
appointment to the marshalship, as
everybody knows" continued Mr..
Hellstrom. but when it was definite
~ announced that Mr.. Doyle's name
had, been recommended by the depart
ment to President Wilson I withdrew,
for 1t would have been most decidedly
out of place to have openly fought the
selection especially after President
Wilson had sent Mr.. Doyle's name to
the senate. After that / did all I
could to further the latter's confirma-
ton. 49,.
Personally I feel very grateful to
all my friends among the Fargo dem
ocrats and throughout the state for
their endorsement Of me and their
support, which I most deeply appre-
c1ate and shall not soon forget.
Macarthur and 5ruesser.
"Mr. Doyle's appointment by the
president has been fought tooth and
toenatl by the state chairman and ma
tional committeeman.
"The fact that Mr.. Macarthur, and
Mr.. Bruegger also. for that matter,
went to Washington and openly
fought Mr.. Doyle's confirmation in the
senate after his name had been sent
in by The president is construed in
W~ashington's official circles that they
are openly fighting the Wilson admin
istration.
"Mr. .Doyle's. appointment will be an
excellent thing for the state, I think.
He is an able man and will make a,
competent and forceful official. II he
Is OF n disposition so to do, he can
make his influence ~far-reaching in
political circles and his word with the
federal influences will have much
weight hereafter in the matter Of fed
eral patronage for this state.
..-. Dined With the Burkes.
: while in Washington / had the
pleasure Of seeing Governor: Burke on
different occasions. He is looking in
excellent health and seems to be en-
joytng Washington immensely. The
capital also appears to very much
agree with Mrs. Burke, who is looking
in the best, of health" "
While there the treasurer and Mrs.
Burke entertained Mr.. Hellstrom,
George e. Duis OF Grand Forks and S..
i. Doyle of Darlington, the; new mar
shall, at dinner at the Raleigh hotel on
Pennsylvania avenue. It was a pleas
urable event that will long be remem-
bered by all those who participated.
Discusses His Rail.
at have had only the greatest en-
couragement about our new safety
rail-" said Mr.. Hellstrom.
II appeared before the interstate
commerce commission with the mod
els and plans and submitted a number
Of explanations Of it's possibilities.
1.-THE result has been that the COM
mission has become deeply interested
and has practically offered to unot1-
cially SUPERVISE the preliminary test.
This means a very great deal.
after that I negotiated with vari-
Gus concerns for the manufacture of
the rails for the preliminary test I
found two mills where they could be
made. and we are now receiving their
bids on the work. We will start this
right away, SO that u rails possibil-
tiles will be known in the not far dis
tant future, judging from the present
prospects," ".'
Mr.. Hellstrom was in conference
with a number of democratic leaders
at the Gardner hotel last evening,
many of whom were. local men who
called to pay their respects to their
standard bearer of two years ago. He
took his leave for Bismarck this
morning. ".
