FALL OF PLUM BOUGHS
1T WILL GLADDEN. THE OFFICE
SEEKERS AT TODAY's SEN
ATE SESSION
WOOD ADJuTANT GENERAL
That Seems to he the Likely solu-
ton of the Puxxle-Austin
Man Seems to he Gaining In the
OIL InspectOr-Other Probable
Appointments.

1T Is expected that today or tOmOr-
row Gov. Lind will send into the SEN
ate another batch of appointments
Among these, 1t Is generally under
stood. will be the appointments of adj
jutant general and probably the sur
Veyors' general of logs and lumber,
although there Is some doubt as to the
immediate disposal of these latter
places.
The oil inspectorship appointment
too. will no doubt be made, as there
seems little doubt that this is to be
the possession of julius ]. Heinrich,
of Minneapolis.
The adjutant generalship seems to
have narrowed down TO a small field
All the talk about Col. Joseph Bob
Letter for the place, which was rife soon
after the election, has disappeared
since the rumor has been spread with
seeming authenticity that the colonels
son is to be made military storekeeper
Capt. Frank b. Wood, of Austin has
been getting a good deal of favorable
mention among the politicians, and
promises to land the place if any one
can be picked out by other than the
governor, who is making the appoint
ment. and who is not betraying his
intentions to his casual callers.
Wood, however, has been in the
guard a long time. lie is spoken Of
highly by his superiors as a trained
military man who has come up from
the ranks to the place Of captain. When
the Spanish war was begun he and
his company became part of the
Twelfth Minnesota regiment. of
which the now governor was the quar-
termaster, so that it is probable con-
siderable personal intimacy was de-
veloped that will not be disadvan-
tageOuS to the Austin man.
Capt George c. Lambert, adjutant
Of the First regiment of artillery, is
also a candidate and has considerable
support in ST. Paul, but some objec-
tons have been entered to his appoint
ment, which may or may not have
weight with the governor.
1t is not expected that the appoint
ment of state superintendent of public
instruction will be made for time, in
view of the fact that the term of the
present incumbent does not seem to
expire until April.
For the information of the politically
ambitious in the ranks of Gov. Lind's
political adherents, it may be stated
that the elective office bill, introduced
in the senate by Senator Ryder, of
East Grand Forks, last night, making
certain offices elective that are now APP
pointive will not curtail any Of the
privileges of the present governor, for
while the bill takes effect on and after
it's passage. it will not in fact become
of force until the election of November,
1900. so that Gov. Lind can go on ap-
pointing these officers just as he
pleases.
Quite merry scramble is being
made for places on the state game and
fish commission. 1t is not a very
lucrative office, unless one gets the
election IS executive agent, but 1t has
attached to it certain perquislties of
a legitimate sort which add to the
; honor conferred not little compensa-
wardens, too, are appointed by this
board, and there is quite a scramble
for places of this kind
Talk about the SUPPLEMENTARY of
public instruction has had sort of
Farnsworth trend during the last day
or two. and it seems very probable
the principal of the Cleveland high
school will be the lucky one.
delegation called on Gov. Lind yes
terday in behalf of the appointment
of Dennis J. Rooney, of Sherburn, as
game warden for Martin county. He
is a banker there, but an ardent
sportsman.
The board of pardons' session handi-
capped the of1iceseekers yesterday af-
ternoon.
Alfred McCallum of Duluth, who
was formerly factory inspector under
Labor Commissioner Powers, was in
the city yesterday and held an inter-
view with Labor Commissioner Nc
oil n
the appointment. McCallum was let
out in February, 1897, because he re-
fused to take part in the Republican
campaign. He has had twelve years
experience in the operation Of wood
working machinery and has served
several terms as president of the Du-
luth Federated Trades assembly. He
is cigarmaker by trade.
A. L. Graves, of the Broadaxe, who
has been one Of the most persistent
Democratic workers in the Sixth ward
Of st. Paul for years, is a candidate
for deputy labor commissioner and,
it is said, with excellent prospects of
landing the coveted place.
The Ramsey county Democratic
committee met yesterday afternoon
to consider what action should be TAX
en- concerning recommendations by the
committee for appointment under Gov.
Lind The new executive has signiied
disposition to be guided to a consid-
cradle extent in making his appoint
ments by the Judgment of the local
committee, which naturally has better
opportunities for knowing the fitness
of applicants than the governor, and,
while it is not understood that the rec
ommendation of the committee is to
be final, at the same time the dispo-
sition of the governor is said to be
to grant the committee it's requests,
unless directly inconsistent with his
administrative ideas. There Is little
likelihood of this.
The committee will meet again
Wednesday evening at the New York
Life building, and it is urged that
Ramsey county people who desire ap-
pointments shall convey their wishes
to the committee, which, in the mean
time. hopes to secure from the gov
ernor a definite idea Of what, in the
way of patronage, Ramsey county's
organization may hope for at his
hands.
