Yesterday Gov. Van SAINT announced
the appointment of Gustav Widell, of
this city, as a member of his staff,
with the title of colonel and the duties
involved will be those of aide de

The Free Press in connection with
other friends of Mr.. Widell was aware
that this appointment was to be made
some time ago, but it preferred to
wait until the governor announced
the appointment before referring
thereto. Gov. Van SAINT has made a
most excellent appointment, and it is
fitting recognition of Mr.. Widell's
services for his party. The appoint
ment was entirely unsought and unex-
pected by Mr.. Widell and was the only
position in fact tn at he would consent
to accept. Coming as it did, it was
all the more pleasing to Mr.. Widell,
and his many friends will congratulate
him over this new honor
