Made Room for Hyde.

His appointment as commandment
of the soldiers home aroused another
storm, it being claimed that the
place had been definitely promised to
ex-Congressman Hyde. Mr.. Hyde
came to Olympia from Spokane to
consult with Gov. Mead regarding the
matter, and an effort was made to
induce the governor to give him
place on the state railroad commits
sion instead. This effort failed, how
ever. and the governor was finally pre-
vailed upon to carry out the origina!
promise to make him commandant OF
the soldiers home.
This move made it necessary to Gus,
Judge Calvert, but it was with the
understanding on the part of friends
of Judge Calvert that he would be
riven another place under the state
administration. Apparently this has
not been done, and there seems little
probability that it will be. Judge
Calvert when asked regarding the
matter said tina. he was not an ap-
plicant for any other position, and
had no expectation that he would be
given one.
