sented On his account there had
been no talk If other cnnaiiates. Mr..
Bixby has made himself an invaluahle.
man in the Governors office, and his
retention may be put down as q
flattering recognition Of his ability
and his services to the Republican
party. The official announcement of
his continuation in office has Mt yet
been made, but it can be lonked for
in a short time. tits also said that
Executive Clerk Angel Twill succeed
himself. Messrs Bixby and Angel
are so familiar with the routine work
of the Governors office that it might
be rather hard shedding for q new
Governor without them. Mr.. Bixby
made himself conspicuous this year
as secretary Of the state central COM
mittee and a full share Of the Repub-
lican victory in Minnesota can be
credited 10 him. Altogether it is
conceded that the new Governor did
the right thing in requesting him to
continue as private secretary.
