says:
State political affairs were
thrown into a furry yesterday
when Secretary of State Thomas
Hall and his deputy in charge Of
auto registrations, e. NJ. Walla,
were placed under arrest for
shortage in the fund. They gave
bonds and are at liberty await

been made good and Mr.. Hall in

may be a minor technical viola
ton of the North Dakota state

ment. The people Of the state
who have voted genial Tom into
Office three times know that he Is
above any crookedness and they
will take his word for the fact
that all will come out all right
in the end. 1t really seems a
case Of too much anxiety on the
part of the attorney general and
examiner to bring the case be-

The Pierce County Tribune
has the following to say:
Governor Frazier is now quoted
as saying that this war els a just
and righteous war" and that it is
our duty to enter it and fight it
to a finish. Why didn't he say
so when he was chairman of the
big meeting at st. Paul, when,
according to The Fargo Courier

cheered frantically when La
Toilette, Lynn J. Frazier and
Thomas Van Lear" delivered their
ringing denunciations? In our
estimation Mr.. Frazier is Of the
same opinion still. At least he
has not said anything to indicate
that he was disappointed in La
Follette's harangue. At any rate,
both he and Boss Townley are
singing entirely different refrains
than those they sang last June.
