In some instances three o. four Of one
family are holding down positions
without any qualification whatsoever.
There are any number Of people hold
ing positions in the state institutions
who are noteriously united for pub
lie duty. The fault is not with the
superintendent Of these institutions.
but with Governor Poynter, who has
permitted ring leaders Of the fusion
party to dictate to him VINO should be
appointed. No better example can be
cited Of the imposition Of obliging The
superintendent to accept employees WHO
are incompetent and unHt than that
of q Mrs. Thomas, mother Of Oh In
spector Sprecher, who ia now holding
the position of matron at the Beat

without snv qualification. that she has
ne merit either physically or mentally
TO recommend her 10 such a position:
I refer to this case simply to show to
vhat extent Governor Poypter has
abused the appoiptiye newer. There
are manv other cases like II. Mrs.
Thomas. ever since she has been ma.

state without rendering correspondinp
service. She has kent her daughter with

has been at Beatrlce. Indeed. II seems
