M. governor's office. \, He is expected’to declare in his in- augural address that his chief aim wili be to “restore the credit of the state.’ To do this he is expected to say that he will seek to cut expenses of stale government to the extent of dispens- ing with the servicos of some em- ployes and leaving the positions va- cant. Of particular concern to the new administration is the handling of closed banks, and general supervisiou of banking. ‘Mr. Nestos had no com- ment to make here today upon his policies, but he has said since elec- tion that he favors a board to admin- ister the affairs of closed banks and reduce the' cost of receiverships. Mr. Nestos does not believe the claim of \Nonpartisans that there were huge frauds in the signing of petitions is justified. He said he had seen a letter from a small town in Williams county. Six names which the Non- partisans had listed as false, he said, had been wrongly copied from the original lists. (Mistakes of stenogra- phers in copying names, many of which are difficult to read, doubtless was the cause of many names not be- ing identified, he said. Few Appointments Settled Few appointments have been set- tled by the incoming administration. Mr. Nestos said today that he had not named a private secietary, although he has considered various persons. If he does not make a selection before he assumes office it is possible that someone in Bisinarck will be asked to aid in handling the office work until a permanent selection is made. (Mr. Nestos will find four organiza- tions in Bismarck with which he has been affiliated. ‘He is a member ct the Town Criers and Rotary clubs ot Minot, and holds insurance policies in the ‘Workmen and Sons of Norway. He has been active in civic an church affairs in Minot. Mr, Nestes is not married. Mr. Johnson, Attorney-General - elect, was not expected to leave Grand Forks until the last minute because ot the necessity of closing up his law practice. Mr. Kitchen probably will be in from Sentinel Butte today. Mr. Johnson, his friends have been in- formed, has a new assistant attorney: ceneral in his family, a son having been born to Mrs. Johnson in Grand few days ago.

Hold Immediate Hearing After the presentation of the peti- tion to the supreme court late yester- day the court decided on an imme- jdiate hearing, which ‘was ‘held in the senato chamber after it was found the {house chamber, usually. occupied by the court, was too cold. A large number .of spectators:, wert ip) the courtroom. Some remarks were made by Judge Robinson and others. Judge’ Robinson declared that it was never intended that the Secretary of Stato or the Governor shouldggp out and make the investigation of petitions but that it was the dui f the interested parties, and critiCised delay upon the part of the petitioners. Justice Christianson pointed out that in most states trying experi- ments such as the recall, had found it necessary to provide safeguards, and that in South Dakota it is requir- ed that the’ petition be subscribed in , affidavit form. Replies to Justice Judge Elisworth replied to the re- marks of Justice Robinson declarins “there is no such thing as estoppal of the people of the state ina case like this.” He ‘suggested a referee could be named to investigate, the petitions and Edward Sinkler told the court that in his judgment, “there never hag been so much fraud as in this matter.” Justice Robinson had declared that the petitioners were wrong in their interpretation of the recall that it re- souired 30 per cent of those who voted for Governor at the last election. Mr. Sinkler declared this proposition could be disregarded and still there was not a legal number. The affidavit of George Laird, head of the taxpayers committee which in- stituited the election suit, said tha‘ from an investigation it was ascer- tained “that more than five thousand pergons have signed their names twicc upon said petitions and that if sail names were not signed by the said persons themselves same were forg: ed” and that “more than ten thousand persons have signed the recall peti- tions who did not vote for Governor at the general election in 1920” and ‘that more than 1,000 persons have signed the said petitions who were not citizens of the state.” Names of Dead Persons ‘ ‘He further alleged that “on the said petitions appear the names of a large number of,persons who had been dead for a long time prior to their signa- tures were purported to have been affixed” and “that those who circu- lated the said petitions knew that the said names of such dead mon were affixed.” ‘He alleged that “the orig- inal petitions show on their face that the names of as many as 20 names have been sighed by the same indi- vidual and in the same handwriting. During the discussion before the court, Justice Robinson emphatically declared that it was entirely legal for persons who did not vote for Gover- nor in 1920 to sign the petitions and | said that because the action is -| brought after election there is a ques- tion ‘as to whether these parties hav> any standing in court at all.
