The bonanza of all is the Board of
Public works. of which the Democrats
have not had control in many day
There are hundreds of employees on
these along the canals, Muskingum
River and other public Improvements
of whom it would be impossible to
give roster at this time The men,
bers are Henry Weible, Democrat, two
years; George Pau, Republican, one
year, and Leo. Weltz, Republican,
whose term has expired, and to be
succeeded by John L. Martin, Demo-
crat, leaving Paul as the only Repub-
lican member. This board will stand
two Democrats to one Republican, and
while it stood two Republicans to one
Democrat Mr.. Weible had no show at
all, no privilege of appointing Demo
Gratis, and now Mr.. Paul will be left
in helpless minority, and a clean
sweep will be made. This depart
ment will give the Democrats more po-
sitions to fill than all the rest of the
State Administration put together.
The members got only 500 dollars per
year but are not required to put in all
of their time.
The changes in the departments
take place on different dates. The
Board of Public Works will not be-
come Democratic by Martin taking
