some of the various applicants over

that he is making his appointments

able to deliver his entire delegation TO

showed the governor that he was for
him and II is expected that he win
show his appreciation by re-appointing
him to the board of trustees for the
Southern Illinois hospital for the in
sane at Anna.
1t is also expected that DR.. Sulli-
van, who has been valuable member
Of the state board OF health for the
past eight years, will be re-appointed
and that Mr.. NJ c. Metzger, who was
selected to fill vacancy on the state
board Of pharmacy FIVE years ago and
who has held the place ever since
viii also be re.appointed.
4 Besides these places, which are all
worth having. there are several lesser
positions which will probably &c t

for the position as chief carpenter a
