In amplification, he wild:
"In 1916, I voted for prohibition,
because I felt then, as 1 feel now,
that thu open nulonn wiik an un

do not believe that prohibition can
be udminiatered to uerve the endH

to have been an Instrument which

gradually under way.
Chief Ranger Wm. Godfrey and
one ranger have been on duty at
tho park for two weeks, aa -well
as snow plow men and several lab

H'.utes commissioner of the park,
moved his office last week from

Godfrey, who with Mrs. Godfrey
took up their permanent home it

The ranger force will be In

depending much on weather con

The road through the park to
the rim is only open now to Gov
ernment camp park headquarters
as that' location Is officially
known, but tho snow plow is at
work daily clearing the remainder
of the way to the lodge.
Owing to the recent bad weather
conditions when It snowed practi
cally every day for two weeks or
more, and halted the melting pro
gress that had up to that time
been going on rapidly, it Is . now
doubtful whether all roads through
tho park will be cleared of snow
by June 1st, as had been tho out

the governor's campaign, has le
aned a signed statement, III part (in

"The rumor, circulated about

upon his election Governor A. W.
"Norblad would replace the state
highway engineer and at least two
of tho state highway commlssion

ifiedly denied.
"As chairman of Governor Nor

hency, he has supported the pies- j
ent highway engineer and commls-!
sioners und has steadfastly refused .
to Interfere in any manner wiinj
tholr duties. In his public speeches
throughout the camualgn he haa I
repeatedly staled that the highway
commission should be kept entirely j
out of politics.
"The unfair rumor, coming nni
it does at this stage of the cam
paign. Is probably one of n series
intended to influenco tho voters
against Governor Norblad.
The Democrats, realizing tbal
Governor Norblad will be the hard
est candidate to beat in the No
vember, general , election, would
rather see George Joseph nominut
ed hy the Republicans, as this
would give them more assurance
of electing a Democratic governor.
"Governor Norblad'a confidence
In the existing state highway com
mission has been evidenced by the
reappointment of C. K. Gates as
highway commissioner. I believe
'no further assurance of Governor
Norhlad's confidence In the com
mission should be required."
