WILL THE PEOPLE
SWALLOW THE BLUFF?

Governor Hanna is appointing
a host of Scandina.6ans- to pres

way on July 4th, next, these men
to 30 at their own expense and
have the great honor resulting.
He has also appointed an official
photographer for the trip, it is
claimed.
These appointments it would
seem are intended to gather in
Scandinavian suckers to vote
for his denomination at the pri-
maries. It is putting a very low
estimate on the intelligence of
the Scandinavian people Of this
state, an estimate which they will
not particularly be pleased with.
It may be denied that the nu-
merous appointments are for po.
liMcal effect but such denial will
not be swallowed by the people.
The fact is that these continued
appointments. are SO plain po-
Etical move that they are dis

Bismarck, N. D., April 3O.-The
supreme court affirmed the de-
cisicn Of Williams county dist
rict court in the case of Commits
aoner Borstad, removed from Of
lice for the collection Of illegal

collecting per diem for time con-
se1nled in going to and from the
meetings Of the commission and
the supreme court says ''to just
ify removal from office under
this section for charging illegal
fees it is not necessary to prove
the fact of such charging beyond
reasonable doubt. -
1t also states the commissioner
cannot charge S. per day for

1911 Registra-
tons Made ToDate
The Secretary Of State Reports
On Mclean County's Auto
mobiles and Motors

Thomas Hall, Secretary Of
State, distributed, on May 1st,
to the several counties of the
state $12,O62,6O, the accumula-
tion for the month Of April Of
the motorvehicle registration
fees less the amount that is set
aside for expense. OF this amour
Mclean county receives $198.8O
for 72 automobiles and 10 motor
cycles registered from the county
the past month. The first distri-
hutton of the motorvehicle money
was made on April lst- At this
time the county received $156.2O.
The money thus received Splac-
ed to the credit of the county
road fund and is expended un-
der the supervision Of the Board
of county commissioners. In
many counties the automobile
owners have formed associations
or clubs and have appointed road
committee to work in conjunction
with the commissioners in an en-
deavor to have the best possible
use made Of the fund acc1ming
from the motorvehicle registra-
tion fees. This advantageous CO.
operation is made possible by
the statute enacting during the
1913 Session Of the Legislature.
As result Of this campaign of
cooperation and mutual help a
good deal Of permanent road inn
provement is being made over tha
state.
To date there have only been
1871 registrations Of motorve-
hicles with the Secretary of State
This is estimated to be only abou
half of the total number Of
mptorvehicles in the state.
Sheriffs and the police officers
all over the state are beginning
to insist on rigid enforcement
of the law and, as a reult, it s.
expected that there will be many
more registrations made in May
than in April. -<

Washington, May While
the Mexican situation outwardly
is calm today, pending the formal
opening of the conference of the
South American mediators at Nj
agara Falls, May 1S, there was
continued active undercurrent
discussion in preparation for
peace plans. At the same time,
definite reports reached consti-
|onalist headquarters here of
sweeping victories for their fore
es near San Luis Potosi and other
points far south Of Saltillo, where
it is thought, their next battle
will occur.
Reports of rebsl successes came
in dispatches from Carranza to
Raphael Zubaran, minister Of the
interior in the constitutionalist
cabinet, who had a direct wire
set up to the headquarters Of
Carranza in Chihuahua today.
Carranza s messages showed
three converging campaigns in
active operation, each within 300
miles Of Mexico Nity. General
Obergon, with 15,CO0 men, is ope-
rating from the Pacific coast side
headed for Mexico City from the
west. Carranza reported another
division fought at Penzacos,
near San Louis Potosi, which is
300 miles north Of Mexico City.
This is the southernmost point
that constitutionalists have reach
ed in Central Mexico.

morning. Once on shore, they
were lined up along the docks
and in the railroad yards and be-
fore noon all had marched to the
posts assigned to them in various
parts of the city and sit out
laying suburbs.
As the various detachments
swung into the streets, their flag
flying and with bands, playing
martial airs, leading them, the
natives appeared on their bal
comics or came out onto the side
walks and gazed with undisguised
wonder at the solid ranks of
brown clothed men. The people
seemed to marvel at the precision
of the, American soldiers move

of the men in the ranks.
Many American civilians who
had been taking their breakfast
out doors, left their tables and

WANT 8ALARIEs OF
h4NoT OFFICIALS CUT

MINT, n. D., April Sc. "A new
city ordinance, f0ing the salaries
Of the city administrative Off
cials and enlarging the scope Of
their work, was recommended for
passage last night at a meeting
of the association of commerce
members who nswered to call
Of the directorate.
The meeting was probably the
largest ana most enthusiastic
ever held in this city and was
featured by a powerful address
byrSecretary Holengge, who ap-
pealed to the business men Of
the city for. better cooperation,
more enthusiasm and more adj
vertising of the city. The new
ordinance practically cuts all the
salary away from the commits
sioners, lowering the same from
$500 per1eer to 800, and lower
ing that Of nearly every other
city Rficer or emp9oye, totaHng
q saving Of 81, ,100-per year. The
general meeting was a stormy
one for time, many members OBJ
jecting to certain parts of the
ordinance and for Q whileS,i it ap-
peared as though the drafted bill
would be pigeonholed for some
time at least. Finally, several
Of the leading business men of
the city threw themselves into
the breach and the recommends
ton was made and passed. AT a
special NEE ting Of the city COM
missin and the directorate Of the
association, the new ordinance
will be gone over, rectified if
necessary, and acted upon.
Should the city commissioners re-
fuse to pass the ordinance, the
association will place the same
before the people, taking advan-
tage of the initiative law. A
petition has already been COM
pleted for voting on this or
dinance and the commissioners
are practically helpless, should
they oppose its passage.

city that this move is the trumpet
cali for a more efficient and
