a bitter fight being waged for the ap..
pointment of state supervisor OF
grains and grasses, provided for under
the initiated act. The rallroad COM

when the injunction held up announce
lnent.
Pressure was brought to bear in
an effort to have J. A. McGovern Of
Fargo appointed to the position,
which pays $4,000 year. Mccoy
crn had the support of most OF the
Nonpartisan league leaders, including
william Lemke. Ole Lund who now
heads the grain department OF the
railroad commission, was understood
to be regarded with favor by the rail-
road commissioner.
