D., Feb. 7,— (AP)—Governor A. G. Sorlie today reiterated his statement of several months ago that he would under no circumstances be a candidate for a third term as governor of North Dakota. He made his statement after being asked what his action would be if an attempt was mado to endorse him at the Non- partisan League convention in Bismarck Wednesday. Speaking further, the gover- nor said he considered that when a man has served his state faith- fully and to the best of his abil- ity for four consecutive years he should be allowed to retire to his private business. Governor Sorlie is in Grand Forks today on business at the state-o mill and elevator and is spending much of his time conferring with department heads.

Of these three were said by Nonpar- tisan political observers today to be well in front of the remainder. The three leading candidates. ac- cording to go:sip in the hotel lol bier Lieutenant Governor Wal- ter Maddock, Plaza; Seth 2ichard- son, Fargo, United States district Mgrs for North Dakota, and A. .

Fisher, who will retir> as state treasurer at the completion his present term, and Thorstein H. Thoresen, state tax commissioner, were other possible endorsees. The same persons who would support Fisher would also support Thoresen, according to observers here. These persons believe that neither has a chance to win unless the other is eliminated early.
