WSeten STATE CAPITOL is NORMAL AGAIN I i Uneasiness Felt as Fall Office- Cleaning Seems Probable on Hill Offices the state capitol are back to normalcy. At least it is normalcy when compared to the situation which existed for six weeks or a month prior to the recent election. In a good many offices the end of the campaign was like a homecoming to the men who had been cn the hustings shaking the hands which marked the ballots. In offices controlled by both factions the situation 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 attempting to get nominated for a new job. Now all the office machinery at the state capitol is operating in the same manner as before the campaign started.

Vacation time is at hand, to be sure, and vacations are being taken now. There were few, if an vacations, during the strenuous weeks of the campaign. There is a marked change now compared with pre-election times. Ready to Move Some persons in some offices are igetting ready to move. Both factions are apparently taking 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 accession to the governorship is expected to cause changes in numerous offices. For one thing it will be the next job to appoint a tax commissioner and it is not anticipated that Shafer, if elected, will reappoint T. H. Thoresen, his Nonpartisan opponent in the late campaign.

Few changes are expected in other offices which the Independents will control 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 employes than any other branch of the state government with the possible exception of the board of administration. Control One Board The Independents already have control of the board of administration by virtue of one appointive ember and two who serve because ey hold elective offices. The Nonpartisans now have two appointive members on the board and this situation will be unchanged if Shafer 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 is. In fact he is quite confident. But he is taking nothing for granted. 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 his present 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 change, such as Thoresen in the tax department, preparations are being made to move.
