den Darby is not the only Belmont
county man who has turned aside
from a political Job paying that COM
pensation. About three weeks ago At
torney Mitchell, of St. Clairsville, Bel
mont county, refused a tender of. the
position of chief inspector of building
and loan associations which pays S2,-
400 a year although urged to accept by
Governor Nash.
Governor Nash stated yesterday he
expected to be called upon to appoint
boards of public safety for the cities
of Hamilton and Dayton because of
the refusal of council to confirm the
mayors appointees in these municipal
tiles. Examination of the section Of the
code giving the governor this authori-
ty develops that the provision is some
what vague and indefinite. The clause
relating to the matter says that IL the
board is not appointed and confirmed
within 80 days from and after the
time herein fixed that the governor
shall appoint, but there does not seem
to be any definite time herein fixed
for making these appointments. TEus
1t will be apparent there Is no time
for which the 30 days limit is 10 date.
The section is also defective in that it
does not specify in-what manner tie
governor shall be notified 70 .icpoint.
Governor Nash thinks that this duty
would devolve upon the clerk of coun-
Gil.
Governor Nash and most of the state
officials and many members of the
legislature have left to attend the cen.
tennial celebration at Chillicothe. The
members of the supreme court will Al

OF justice will be practically at a stand
still. Mrs. Worthington BabcoIk,
daughter of Governor Nash, intendsd
to go but will be prevented by Illness.
Until the officials return there will lie
little going on about he state house.
Marvin Kuhns, the desperate, who
severely assaulted Guard w. II. Pascbal
at the penitentiary says he did SO be-
cause latter made insulting remarks
about Warden Darby who has tender
ed his resignation. Darby is well liked
by the prisoners and Paschal is report
ed to have said that he did not see why
tie prisoners cried over his going.
Kuhns said that he cried to which it
is declared the guard made unbecom-
ing language about the warden. Kuhns
promptly blackened the guards eyes
and badly bruised his nose. Paschal
is said to be miffed because he failed
to get promoted.
State School Commissioner Bone
brake is reported to be on the slate for
a place on the ticket. The Hanna fore
es are said to be backing him and the
American Book Concern, which has
been friendly to Seese, is expected to
transfer it's allegiance to him.
If Seese withdraws Bonebrake will
probably gobble up his supporters.

be the Daugherty candidate for school
commissioner, with State Dairy and
