II Il claimed BY ;h4 knowing ones tia,
Roger dislike for Daniels grew out Of
The senatorial sght and the fact that the
governor has the senatorial! bee buzzing in
his DERBY. II Is said that ne regards Dan
les az oval who Is 100 close 10 the
throns.
A story II going the rounds here that g.
iustratea tie fact that tire governor ex-
peoted to b. senator. A short time after
HE election Gov. Rogers met Frank Baker
and said 70 hsm enthusiastically:
''Ar. Baker. you have made me COVER
nor. and you can make ne senator. II you
will"
81 want 10 he senator myself said Bak-
or. and the answer caused as the pen.
up enthusiasm OF the governor 20 evapor-
ate 90 far as Representative BAKER was
concerned.
The head and front 81 the offending OF
Daniels was when ne became candidate
Cor United States senator, and received
number % votes This interfersd TO n
considerable extent with the piano Of Gov.
Rogers. who IL is claimed. hal made that
now celebrated compact with Turner TO
assist in electing him provided Turner ,ent
his aid in ele,ting Rogers two years
from now. Friends % both the governor
and Turner remons,rafed with Daniels
for being candidate. bus ne remained In
the fed until Re was beaten by Turner. T.
In alleged that the strength shown BY Dan
les. and the fact that ne was a candidate
and may be n rival In two years from now
has given mortal offense TO the governor
and hence the efforts made 70 remove him
from office.
Senator Plummer. In talking about the
matter this morning. seemed Inclined to
take all the responsibility for the biil 20

81 have enough votes pledged. too. TO
carry r." he said. THE constitution
provides that the lieutenant Governor can
be removed az any time the legislature
eesires 10 do so"
The relations between Piummer and the
lieutenant governor have not been cordial
since the former appointed two visiting
committees while he WIS temporarily In
TIE presidents chair. II Is a noticeable
fact that when Daniels desires a rest
aow he calls Taylor instead % Piummer
20 the chair. During the week there Was
q committee 70 appoint while Taylor Was
IN the chair, and be refused 20 appoint
n. saying that the lieutenant governor
