Probable Candidates for Job-Secret Meetings
May Bring Decision Early Next Week

Developments in the Moorhead may
orally battle are coming to a head in
fine shape this week and, although no
mayor petitions have been circulated
on the street yet, it is expected that
something of this sort will occur early
next week.
At present there are four probable
candidates being talked of, all of whom
have been urged, either by being called
meetings, to enter the race.
Four Are Mentioned.
They are DR.. J. A Aasgaard, presi-
dent OF Concordia college; n. N. Nal
Vey, contractor, at present alderman in
the First ward; DR.. E. w. Humphrey:
and John T. Lamb, local coal and wood
dealer. None of these men have given
their final decision. but all have care

Many Want Aasgaard.
Pressure has been brought upon DR..
Aasgaard for several weeks past by a
large number of his friends. He has
given out the statement that he would
be a candidate providing his support

that definite decision will

is a man who has always taken an &C

friends are strong for his entering the

Mr. Lamb. who has been publicly

mentioned for a month or more as a
possible candidate, said to a Forum re
porter today that he would possibly
come out for the office, but would be
unable to give his answer for several
days yet. During the past week he has
been waited on by several committees
urging his candidacy.
Malvey Undecided.
Several days ago N. N. Malvey was
urged by committee of voters to be-
come a mayoralty candidate, but he,
too. would give no definite answer. 1t
is understood that he was again waited
on yesterday by friends in connection
with the campaign. Mr. Malvey, at
present alderman in the First ward,
will not be out for his reelection bat
mas been quoted as saying he would &C
cept the mayor job If the right lineup
were obtained. During his service as
alderman he has made a record for him
self as being in favor of improvements
and law enforcement.
Humphrey for Improvement.
DR.. Humphrey has not decided. If he
comes out 1t will be with the under
Standlng that he stands for an improve
ment administration. He said last eve
ming he would like to see q good man
selected for that office that all factions
of the city could support, stating it
would be for the best interests of the
city If this were possible. He has not
given up the thought of entering the
race yet, however, and his friends are
still persistent.
No new development have been un-
covered during the past day or two in
the aldermanic campaign, but petitions

$4,000 TO
Be COST OF
COURT TERN
Present Session Will Be
Most Expensive in the
County's History

If the present term of Clay county
district court is completed at this ses-
sion it will cost the taxpayers of the
county approximately $4,000, setting
a record as the longest and most ex-
pensive court term in the county's
history.
May Be Four Months.
1t will take the months of Decem-
ber. January, February and possibly
most of March to complete the term
unless some of the cases are continued
and set over until the next term,
which starts in May. Generally this
method of shortening the term is TAX
en- to take the strain off lawyers and
court officials.
About $f25 a Day.
Figuring the district court cost at
1925 per day, based on previous
terms. and counting twenty six trial
days to the month. the total cost for
the four months will aggregate $4,000,
all Of which is necessary for the
maintenance of justice in the county.
Although the court expenses for last
year were heavy, it is estimated that
the expense this year will show a ma
terial increase. These figures will be
shown in the annual financial state
ment to be published soon by County
Auditor A. o. Houglum.
