g number of candidates for inportant
offices.
Two duties that await him early in
his official career will be the appoint
ment of his military staff of an even
dozen Though the honor is coveted it
carries no salary with it, but rather
obligates the one who receives the APP
pointment to spend his money for a
gorgeous uniform. AT about the time

aEndunC9 mis- selection of an executive
secretary, comfortable appointment
which usually goes, as it should, to
some personal friend of the chief ex-
ecutiye.
When the legislature meets the OPP
portunity for executive appointments is
ripe, and several comfortable gifts can
be bestowed by Judge Baldwin, subject
to the advice and consent of the SEN

OF considerable Importance to the state
