Is that former Lieutenant Governor

probably go to some one with extended
legislative experience. Senator Echols
has this. and keeps close to the flnan-

The holding, of an office of this sort
gives prestige to the district repre-
scented by the chairman, in that he has
to large extent matters of approp-
priations in his hands.
