he said;

whom they thought was about to arrive

THREE CANDIOAT res
FOR ADJUTANT

The commissioned officers OF the Ma
tional Guard of this State are guessing
as to who will be the adJutant general
Of this state when Governor ELECT Gil
lett takes Office. 1t is said that the
Governor is not military man
and has never been in close touch
with the National Guard; therefore it
will become incumbent upon him to
select some one who has the ability
to and who will direct the guardsmen
along the paths they should tread
General Lauck, the incumbent, IS a
candidate for retention in the Office.
but he has an opponent in Colonel W.
G. Schneider, for several years con-
nected with the Seventh Infantry. The
former wants the Office, while the lat
ter SAYS that he will not stand in the
way Of General Lauck being retained;
but If the incumbent does not desire
to remain at the Sacramento head
quarters he wants to be considered a
candidate for the place In addition
TO these Major Sine, who served In
the Philippines. and Colonel George
Stone are urged by some Of their
friends for the position.
