There seems to,be an air ~ animos-
itv toward the new governor in certain
quarters OF the Legislature. the bone OF
contention being the retention in office
OF appointees made by Governor War
ner during the recess OF the senate.
II is but natural that Governor War
ner should have rewarded some OF his
friends.with appointment to Office aud.
AZ the Warner machine WAS lined mp
behind Kelley in the primary cam
paign. 10 is natural that Governor Os.
born should wish some Of them lett of
the state pay roll
The nominations the number rs
thirty. three must be confirmed by the
senate IL il said that tne list is clev
erlv made out. containing some estim
able men-m that Governor Osborn
would undoubtedly ro-appoint should
the senate turn them down.
Governor Osborn wishes some Of
them turned town and number Of the
senator's wish 20 please him but hate
to vote against some OF the good ones
This leaves feeling Of uncertainty
in the air and no one can tell Just how
the Legislature will line mp when they
get going.

born did was TO demand the resigna
ton Of two members of the board OF |
