PRESIDENT CONSIDERING SETH
BULLOCK, OF SOUTH DAKOTA,
FOR PLACE.
NEW MAN is WANTED
70 REoReANIzE BUREAU
Bullock is United States Marshal But
Formerly in tho Forestry Service
His Selection Would Relieve Emhar-
RAISING Political Situation in South
dakota.

Washington, Jan. lin casting
about for a successor to Clifford Pin
chot to head the forestry service it was
reported today that President Taft
might offer the place to Seth Bullock,
United States marshal of South Dako-
ia. AT the present time Albert f. Pot
ter, designated as acting head of the
service seems to be the leading candi-
date, but there are persistent rumors
that the president may decide that an
entirely new man might the better re-
organize the service
Bullock is in many respects as close
friend of former President Roosevelt
as Pinchot. He was once chief of for
est rangers In the Black Hills and Is
thoroughly familiar with the whole
subject of forestry The political situa-
ton in South Dakota has been giving
the president some concern of late, and
Senators Crawford and Gamble have
been frequent callers at the White
House. Bullock has been designated for
disappointment as marshal for South
Dakota. His term expires this month.

The day is favorable for the polling

bring to the polls the reluctant, sick
and infirm. Every booth was sur
rounded hy a corps of checkers, who, as
the day progressed, frequently made up
lists of absent voters that they might
be sent for during the lastnhours. The
early voting showed that the almost
continuous urging of the long drawn
out campaign had not fallen on heed

MarshaII's Address.
In the course of his address Governor
Marshall deplored the apparent passing
OF patriotism among Americans.
The earlier history Of the republic" ."
he said, brought wars so closely to-
gether as to keep alive the flaming
spirit OF patriotism. But time has
elapsed since 81 and stories which
thrilled our fathers, as told by the
lips of participants, have now, for the
most part, to be repeated with lesser
effect in the pages of history. And vet
tt remains, as hopeful sign of
the age, the fact that a nation is not
lost in the spirit of commercialism so
long as its people do not set up for
universal admiration men whose sole
claim to greatness has been their buy-
ing and selling and the getting of gain
unto themselves"
Ihe governor drew attention to the
fact that no monument had yet been
erected by an admiring people to men
who had amassed great fortunes or
whose claim to greatness lay in their
exercise Of great financial sense.
Not yet has commercialism been
able to place upon a pedestal a man
who made money and made nothing
also" he said. 'If such man climbs
upon pedestal the great body of the
American people is iconoclast site
enough to drag him down into the mire
OF common ridicule and laughter"
Governor Marshall aulogized the life
and achievements of General Wallace.
both as soldier in the Mexican and
civil wars and as an author, and citi-
zen of Indiana
Besides the members of his personal
staff and number of prominent per-
sons who accompanied the governors

large attendance of Indianians resident
in Washington at the ceremonies at
