With the petitions all filed—the time for filing ended at. 6 o'clock last evening—the friends of candidates are expected to begin campaigning in earnest. Much interest is manifest in the police magistrates race, and the numoer of entries is expected to split factional votes to an unusual extent. At least cne or two of the entrants are regarded somewhat as “pacemakers’ in the race. ‘Their Platforms The platforms of the candidates, as filed with their petitions at city hall follow: F. H.

With judges and inspectors of election ap- pointed the appointmet of clerks is now being discussed. Some of election officials are in favor of hav- . ing women named as clerks. ‘Draw for Places Because the law does not provide a method of alternating names on the ballot a drawing was held this noon in the city auditors office when the names of candidates were drawn for places on the ticket.

Also Rules Wholesale Liquor Men Must Quit Washington, March 17—The ban forbidding withdrawal of whiskey from bonded warehouses insofar as it affects retail druggists will be lift- ed April 1 under.an order issued to- day by Prohibition Commissioner Kramer. Modification of the order stopping withdrawals was not extend- ed to wholesale liquor dealers. Coincidentally Mr. Kramer an- nounced that wholesale dealers must go out of business about May 15. He said also that plans of the bureau pro- vided for the completion of regula- tions based on former Attorney-Gen- eral Palmer’s opinion as to wholesal- ers to be effective about the same day.

Grace, in an opinion filed yesterday dissenting from the majority opinion of four judges. . Judge Grace, in his opinion, holds tht the premise of the majority opin- ion is absolutely wrong. The funda- mental issues involved in the case, he asserts, are not “first, the status of the Bank of Nortlr Dakota and second, cess in a proceeding against it” as | stated by Judge Bronson but are “first, the status of the state of North Da- kota, and, second, the right to avail of garnishment process in a proceding against the State of ‘North Dakota.” Judge Grace recites the amendment to the constitution;under which the state.owed and state operated enter- prises were authorized, and refers to th opinion of the court in the Green vs. Frazier case. Would Hit Others, Claim “The principal contention or claim of the majority opinion is, that the Bank of North Dakota is engaged in a private business; that in effect it is a-private corporation, and as such, may sue and be sued,’ continues Judge Grace. “What is claimed in this re- i gard, in reference to the Bank of | of ‘North Dakota, if such claim is well ' founded, applies with equal effect to | the state-owned mill and elevator and to the ‘Home Buiding association.” In reciting the vote of the people upon the question of state-owned in- dustries Judge Grace departs from | questions of law and asserts: “For (Continued on Page 8) | LEGISLATURE OF MINNESOTA OBSERVES DAY St. Paul, Mar. 17.—House members began their St. Patrick’s day celebra- tion today by receiving a resolution calling upon President and Congress to give “timely, earnest, sincere and conscientious consideration -to the claims of the Irish republic for recog- nition by.the government of the Unit- ed States of America.” Members placed the Irish flag at one side of the speaker's desk and the Stars and Stripes at the other side ‘in honor of the day.

Asking that the (Bank of North Da- kota be compelled to pay $1,315.31 due the school district the petition says! “that plaintiffs, as officers of Surrey! township have by due resolution directed the deposit of the funds of said township in an institution other than the defendant bank ‘North ‘Dakota) and by reason thereof is estopped and denied the right of withdrawing from the defendant bank any of its funds now deposited there- in, and payment of checks or drafts thereon by the treasurer of said town- ship are refused by the defendant, and such funds thereby wrongfully with- held from said township and said township deprived of the use and benefit thereof when necessary.” , The petition cites the initiated law and recites the resolution of the Indus-! trial Commission with regard to with: drawals. New angles introduced in new peti- ‘ tions filed in garnishment actions in the court here include the direct suit against the Bank of ‘North Dakota for funds. Presumably this follows the ruling of the majority of the su preme court that the Bank of North Dakota can be sued as a private in stitution. The village of Oriska, Barnes coun- ty, asks $1,285.36 from the Bank of North ‘Dakota, alleged to be belonging to the village. McKenzie county has filed a new garnishment petition naming 30 banks in that county, among other recent garnishment suits, papers of which have been served through local auth- orities are those of the school board of Surrey township, Grassland school ditsrict in Ward county and Rolette county. Local officials expect that a number of new garnishment cases will follow the ruling of the supreme court per- | mitting garnishment, L CREWS REDUCED.
