FEAR OF NEPOTISM.
Louisville Post Says Caused Changes
In Plans of officials.

The Louisville Evening Post fig
ures appointments out this way:
With the near approach of the date
of the Inauguration of Gov.-elect
Wilson and the presence in the city
almost daily of politicians from over
the state, gossip in connection with
appointments past and to come, I'M
der the new administration. goes mer
rily on.
The following appointments, in ad-
dition to those already announced
are said to be certainties:
Thomas B. McGregor, of Benton
Marshall county, assistant attorney
general under Judge James Breath
lit.
Jackson Morris, of Mckee, Jack
son county. assistant secretary OF
state under DR.. Ben L. Bruner.
a f. James, of Leitchfield, chief
deputy under Capt. Edwin Farley
state treasurer-elect.
". L. Hazelip, Louisville, stew.
ard at Lakeland asylum.
Edward Cook. Hopkinsville, cor.
noration clerk under secretary OF
siate-elect.
The appointment Of H. e. James
rs chief deputy treasurer by Capt
Farley was not unexpected. II Is un-
derstood that the position was first
rendered TO Mr.. James, but he then
refused to accept IL. That Mr.
James would have been appointed
chief deputy auditor of state is con-
sidered a certainty we're 1t not for the
fact that he bears the same name as
the auditor elect, and while the two
are not related in any way, It was
feared that his appointment would
cause a confusion of names, and ere
ate the impression that nepotism was
being practiced. II. p. Num-, of Pa
ducah, was offered the position of as
sistant treasurer. but declined II, is
is said, because of his Relationship
TO Capt. Farley.
