The action of the Devils Lake con- vention in ordering a recall election “on or before November 8, 1921,” oc- casioned cosiderable comment in _po- litical ‘circles here. Some Nonpartisans took the action of the convention, in emphasizing} November instead of June, as first proposed. as the date for a recall elec- tion, to mean that there would be no! lection. Whether or not the league. will in- stitute a counter recall remains to be seen. The new league executive com- mittee went into office today, with headquarters in Fargo. Senator A. A.

Bismarck : : : Bismarck, N. D., April 1,:1921. Mr: R. L. Best, whom the people retired from the otfice of City Commissioner two years ago by a vote of 2 to 1; in a pub- lished letter in. the Tribane’ on March 3ist, would have’ the readers of such, paper believesthat the City Commission and-the City Attorney have been unfair to thé Water Company, while favoring other corporations, and in such letter’ criticizes the undersigned and the a members of the Commission. “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” and if Mr. Best had truly informed himself exactly of what had ‘taken place, before-rushing into print, he woud have found that the interests of the City and it's people bad been well taken cave Of at the hearing before the Railway Commission on January, 29th, by very eminent counsel, to-wit: Hon, William Lemke, «Attorney General, of the State and his able Assistant W. A. habe also the Hon. F. O; Helstrom, and further that at such hearing, the only question decided by the Railway Commission was, whether the rates being then charged by the Hughes Electrie Co., were legally in effect at that time. The Commission decided unanimous that the rates then being charged, were legally ‘in effect, and sét a date for hearing such petition for the reduction of electric.and steam rates, which date of hearing was April 1st, at which time the undersigned as City Attorney did appear for the city of Bismarck and it's people for the purpose of obtain- ing such reductions in electric and steam rates, as we are enti- tled to receive, and’ further the tndersigned welcomes and is thankful for the opportunity to work and co-operate with the Attorney General's Office in fighting, for lower rates frome all public utilities, inclujing the Hughes Electric Company. ~ The work of the City, Attorney's offite is increaseing each year, and there are now pending in State and Federal Courts about 20 lawsuits in which the city is interested. Twelve of these suits are to Set aside assessments for sewer levies in two of whetth F, H. Register appears as Plaintitf. Two of such suits are against the Water Company, ahd the balance are miscellancous syits. The office of City Attorney is an appointive office and the resignation of the undersigned as City Attorney is on file in the office of the City Auditor and may be epted by the City Commission at any time it sees“it. The salary paid at present is $150.00 per month and this‘rate of pay has been in effect froth Sept. 1, 1920, prior to which time it was $80.00 per month. The City Attorney of Fargo receives a-salary 3.00 per month. ~A reader of Mr. Best's letter would be lead to believe that the gentleman is a candidate for office. His animositt and past actions towards the undersigned-are too well known in this com- _ unity to need repetition. His letter is if line with the numer- ous charges and false statements made in this campaign. Mr. Best has joined the re-actionaries.and has aligned himself with the enemies of progress for the purpose of: paying aff a few po- litical grudges that he has nursed in his bosom for two years. £ “The undersigned is not a candidate for office at this elec- tion, but he does welcome an investigation of his record as. City Attorney, Referee in Bankruptcy, or any other public office he has ever held. ve : cs Respectfully submitted, H. P. O'Hare, Z City Attorney. (Political: Advertisement)
