urged the court to take judicial notice
of the fact which he alleged tina.
there was conspiracy at this time tt

ground that the general statute pc
mitting garnishment applied to IL.

of any provision to the contrary am
that the bank was not a department
of the state, but separate corpora
ticn entirely doing business under the
name Of the state.

Matters Thoroughly Dis
cussed Before Recall Plans
Were Made.

Bismarck. y. d.. March g.
In taking action looking towards
the appeal OF most Of tho Nom
partfSai. League state officials IL is
pointed out BY Independent menu
bcrs OF tho legislature that tive
basis for sucIs action Is in most
cases based in spec -hcations OF
order in question.
So far as Governor. Frazier, At
tornty General Lemkc aud Conn
missioner j. \. Hag1n arc con-
ccI1ltsl. the recall is hcins sought
agains: these men on the basis OF
their actions as members OF the
state industrial commission. This
is especially true in the case of
Governor Frazier.
The conduct Of the. Bank Of
North Dakota and other state ill.,
dustries by the industrial COM
mission is the chief ground ON
which the recall election is being
sought, and the fact that one OF
the members OF the commission
happens to be the governor of the
state is he'd to I've no reason why
hc should not be- called to ac-
count Tor bis actions as member
Of the commission.
As rlr as Lieut.. Governor
Wood is concerned. the effort for
his recall will bc based chiefly on
his action in casting the deciding
vote which let to the seating OF
Gust Wos over r. j. List. in the
Billings county contest case carly
during the present session of the
legislature the Independents take
thu, ground that the evidence in
the case was such as to clearly
demand tho seating Of List aud
that action OF the lieutenant gov
ernor in voting as he did is snf-
ficjent ground for his recall
T1se sanlc reason holds good in
the case of other league members
of The senate against which
whom recall proceedings will be
launched.
In the case Of the three SUI
prcme court justices against
whom recall proceedings are to
he launched, tho chief ground OF
complaint is their action in the
