indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 13.-Gover-
nor-elect Thomas r. Marshall and
wife were in this city last night and
today looking for place to live when
Mr.. Marshall takes office. Under the
law the governor receives a salary of
$4,000 a year and All allowance of ST.
500 for house rent. This 81 800 has
been taken by Governor Hanly to pay
the rent and maintenance of a fine
residence on North Alabama street,
but while Marshall was making his
campaign he said in his speeches that
he would, if elected, accept nothing
but the salary af $4,000. He said the
$1.SO0 was pure graft, and he would
have nothing to do with it. One of
his favorite expressions in his speech
es was this:
There is no house in indianapolis
worth $3.50 a year, except the court
house and the county JAIL and | hope
| may keep out of both of Them
The Marshalls will probably live in
a flat when they come to Indianapo-
lis. At least they talked that way
last night
Marshall says he has quit reading
his mail. On Tuesday, he said. it
took him four and three-quarter hours
to read the letters that came to him
in one mail. This was too much for
him and he says he will not read the
rest of the mail until he gets more
time than he now has. .ys-5

tions for positions as come to me in
the mall" he said. "Some of them
know what they want, but most of
them just let me know that they would
like to have something"
During his term as governor Mar
shall will have many appointments to
make. Some of the jobs will be
open as soon as he takes office. Many,
however, will not be vacant for two or
three years.
But there are plenty of patriots who
will be willing to take the jobs when
the time comes and Marshall will not
have any trouble to find them. His
trouble will be in getting rid Of them
and making selections.
1t is said in political circles that Ad-
am Heimberger, of New Albany, vice
chairman of the democratic state com
mittee. and one Of the party leaders,
would not object to an appointment as
a member of the Railroad commission.
This position pays $1,000 a year.
George Schwartzkopf, of Columbus.
and DR.. J. w. Klotz, of Noblesville,
are mentioned for the position of fish
and game commissioner, to succeed Il.
7. Sweeney. Schwartzkopfs friends
are already working hard for him. He
has been a democratic worker all his
life and is known as sportsman. He
takes part in all the gun tournaments
within reach and is a firm believer in
the fish and game LAYS. He would
like to see these laws more stringent,
if anything, he says.
For the position of state veterinar-
ian, DR.. John Archer, of Spencer, and
DR.. F. A. Bolser, Of New Castle, are
law of Robert J. Alley, who was elect
ed state superintendent of public in
struction. DR.. Bolser is one of the
democratic leaders of Henry county.
Several years ago DR.. Bo1ser held the
position of state veterinarian. He
served under the state live stock
commission, but when the legislature
abolished this commission and left
the appointment of the state veterin-
arian in the hands of the governor a
republican was appointed by Cover
nor Mount to succeed Dr. Bolser.
Gilbert II. Hendren, of Bloomfield,

man of the speakers bureau of the
state committee, would like to be
