The unexpected defeat OF the Repub.
lican party in Colorado means that
commissioner fllLUenuOu5e VIII uoI WI
Time in office after January l.
Mr.. Rittenhouse has been Colorado g
most strenuous commissioner and has
gained national reputation by bis
edicts and structures.
The elimination Of Mr.. Rittenhouse
accentuates the disquieting fact that
Governor-elect Shafroth is an unknown
aid, the Republican candidate, had
placed himself Oh record publicly favor
ing a reduction in insurance taxation
and the continuation Of sane, skilled su-
pervision under wise laws. The politi-
clans may now have try at the insur..
ance department. The long, successful
fight to secure a trained actuary may
now be uegatived, Few departments
have enjoyed so valuable an adjunct
as the Colorado department under Mr.
Rittenhouse.
A number of applications have al
ready been fled for Mr.. Rittenhouse s
Job. Among them is one by Jesse P.
! Cullom, a special agent for the Union
Central Life.
John G. Billheimer, Republican audi
tor of state, was reelected in Indiana
by a vote of 22S. The auditor appoints
an insurance deputy at $4,000, actuary
at 81 900, examiner at $4,000, securities
clerk at $1,000, license clerk at $500,
and stenographer at S9UU. IL is not
thought that Mr.. Billheimer will make
any changes, as all Of these appointees
were very active in his behalf. Cyrus
w. Neal, who has been in the office ten
years and who is we'll known by in
surance men all over the United States,
will remain as insurance deputy. Only
under ono condition Will the insurance
department pass from the control Of
the Republicans to the Democrats with
in the next two years, and that is in
event the election of Mr., Billheimer is
contested by the democratic candidate
and the contest is decided in favor of
the ccntestor.
The election of a Republican COVER
nor of Missouri means change IN the
Superintendent of insurance of that

ent Vandiver holds on until March l,
1909, when his term expires by limitn-
tion. J. A. McVoy, the actuary OF the
Missouri department, and most .capa.
bic official, may go also. 1t will be up
To the new official.
