MOST any old Office will do for
some of the seekers. They aim high,
but if they miss the mark they aim
lower and blaze away again. For
instance, 81. Clay Evans, of Ten
nessee, figured for the Republican
Vice Presidential nomination, then
for Cabinet position, and now is
knocking at the door labeled "Com
missioner of Pensions" If he secures
unfavorable response here, it is
assumed that he will try for some
thing else. A similar experience is
that of our own Col. James Boyd
and perhaps hundreds of other.

comment upon matter of more or

some anxiety to shelve the Governor.
