MISS NIELSON ~ RUMOR DENIED Governor-Declares He Knows Of, No Basis For Report Investigation of reports emanating! from the Nonpartisan league conven-| tion that there was disagreement be- tween Miss Minnie J. Nielson, state superintendent of public instruction, | and Governor Nestos or others of the state administration, has brought de- nials of the reports. Asked concerning the reports Miss Nielson said: “It is news tome. So far as Iam aware it is absolutely} false.” i Governor Nestos denied upon ques- | tioning that there was disagreement between him and Miss Nielson on questions of policy. “I am sure that as far as I am con- cerned, there is no trouble brewing,” Governor Nestos said, “and there has been no indication as far as I know that Miss Nielson’s attitude toward the administration is not friendly. Wej have discussed a number of matters, and have always agreed upon the pol- icies that ought to be pursued. Both of us believe in maintaining high edu- cational standards, and the greatest efficiency of: our common schools; both of us believe in the need of well- | trained teachers, and that a good teacher should have a good salary, The laborer is worthy of his hire, and that is most assuredly true when it comes to those who are training the future citizens of the commonwealth. We also believe in the great need of economy in the government of the state and in the administration of every political sub-division within the state, and do not believe that these economies should be exercised in one department or field of endeavor alone, but that we must try to find every method of saving money that can be accomplished without injuring or ser- jously handicapping the essential in- terests involved, and we believe that by having every political subdivision and the state’s administration in all of its departments cooperating along this line that a great saving may re- torney-General Johnson. His atten- tion today called to Judge Cole’s statement given to the Fargo Courier- News tho Attorney-General said: “It.is very, unusual, to say the to the press, commenting on the evi- dence produced in a case heard before him, but since that has been in the Townley case, I regret to note that such statement is misleading in some espects, and calls for some explana- ‘ion, The record in the case does not show, as the Judge says, that the Sisal Trust did itd bank.ng with the Scandinavian American Bank,’ but only shows that one Harvey drew dratts on Hastings personally for sums aggregating ¥$9000.U9, that Has- tings paid such dratts out of the funds of the bank, and covered the shortage by inserting notes executed in name of the Sisal Trust by himself, all with- ‘ut authority first obtained from the Board of Directors oy Discount Com- mittee, as required by law. ‘Neither does the record support the statement that such loan was removed within a reasonable time which was done by payment, but on the contrary, it shows that the debt represented thereby was renewed on April 7th, 1919, by the giving of a new not2 flor $9,000.00 by! the Sisal Trust. “And while the record in this case does not disclose payment of such re- newal note, it is a matter of common knowledge as well as of public record, that such note was not paid until November 8rd, 1919, after the Bank} had been closed by the State Banking ‘Board, and that the existence of the Sisal paper in the bank was bne of the contributing causes of such closing. Hence, to say that the bank was rot | ‘deprived of its money temporarily,’ and that the ‘bank lost noth‘ng but was the gainer’ is extremely mislead-} ing and not justified by the record | facts.” CAR OF N.
