general understanding that the Governor

No one is authorized to say who will be
appointed to membership either on the Po-

De safely assumed that the Governor him.
self has not determined these appointments
1t Is rumored that Governor Dockery has
been very much embarrassed by reason of
the deciination of certain prominent Demo-
cratic business men who have been offered
positions on these boards II is understood
that the Governor desires to appoint first
class men to these positions. and those who
are near him say that some Of the active
democrats and prominent business men of
81. Louis seem indisposed to make the nec-
essary sacrfnce to aid him in this endeavor.
Governor Dockery, 1t is also understood,
Is very actively engaged in an effort to
bring the two branches Of the Legislature
together In support OF an equitable and ef-
fective franchise tax bill. He Is very ear
nestly in favor of such a measure and all
the State officers are assisting him In his
effort to end the differences between the
Democratic legislators.
