STATE CAPITOL (t NORMAL AGAIN Uneasiness Felt as Fall Office- Cleaning Seems Probable on Hill 'f — Offices at the state capitol are ack to normalcy. At least it is normalcy when com- jared to the situation which ex- Rtea for six weeks or a month prior to the recent election. | In a good many offices the end! of the campaign was like a home- coming to the men who had been en the hustings shaking the hands} which marked the ballots. In offices controlled by both factions the sit- uation was the same, the clerks and executive attaches remained at} home attending to office routine) while the head of the office was busy himself with the business of winning renomination or attempt- ing to get nominated for a new job." {row all the office machinery at the state capitol is operating in the same manner as before the cam- aign started. Vacation time is at and, to be sure, and vacations are being taken now. There were few, if an vacations, during the stren- uous weeks of the campaign. There is a marked change now compared with pre-election times. Ready to Move | Some persons in some offices are | getting ready to move. Both factions are apparently tak- ing it for granted that George F. Shafer will be the next governor, since in North Dakota a Republican candidate for that office has not been defeated since 1910. And Shafer’s accession to the governor- ' ship is expected to cause changes in_numerous offices. For one thing it will be the next governor’s job to appoint a tax commissioner and it is not anticipat- | ed that Shafer, if elected, will re- appoint T. H. Thoresen, his Non- partisan opponent in the late cam- ‘ew changes are expected in other offices which the Independents will ' eontrol by virtue of the election of ‘ their candidates. | It is considered probable that some changes will be made in the highway department, one of the largest at the state capitol. The highway department. annually spends more money and has more i employes than any other branch of | the state government with the pos- | sible exception of the board of ad- ministration. Control One Board The Independents already have control of the board of administra- tion by virtue of one appointive — and two who serve because ey hold elective offices. The Nonpartisans now have two ap- pointive members on the board and this situation will be unchanged if hafer is elected governor, since the appointed member whose term will expire next is an Independent. Shafer himself is saying nothing regarding any plans he may have if and when he becomes governor. He is hopeful that he will be elected, as the Republican candidate always 4s. In fact he is quite confident. But he is taking nothing for grant- . His position is known to be that he will cross bridges when he comes to them and that cannot be until they are actually in place. In ph aeeeent Position as attorney general Shafer has a vacancy on his staff due to the resignation of George I. Reimestad, now with the federal land bank at St. Paul. It is indicated that he will announce the name of Reimestad’s successor in the comparatively near future. As for the Nonpartisan office holders in the various departments which will be affected by the ch » such as Thoresen in the tax department, preparations are being made to move. 27 CONTRACTS ~~ LET BY BOARD , Highway Construction Proj- nm, ects Costing $354,132.90 ot Approved Friday HS Twenty seven contracts callin | for the expenditure of $854,132.90 tor highway construction and successful bidders onthe work fol- low: rs Earth grading 13.2 miles on state route No. 5, West of Crosby, Divide ne Win Coman, Goodrich, N.
