1t is likely that President Roosevelt will

commission or to Ex-Governor Thomas
Jones Both of these men are conserva-
tive democrats and in way belong to
the radical wing of the democratic party
in the state.
So far no republican has been presented
for the position, and 1t is claimed that there
is scarcity of republican legal talent in
the district suitable for such an appoint

good his promises to appoint only the best
men to office Ex-CIov. Jones is known as
a gold democrat.
