Lansing, Mich.-The political atmo-
sphere In and around the state CAPT
tol has reached the boiling point now,
and as the administration of Govern
or Osborn is well under way, the heads
of Warner appointees are dropping in
to the political waste basket at rapid
rate. Never in the history of Michi-
gan has there been such complete
ovrhauling and housekeeping as the
one now conducted by the governor.
"Who is next?" is the anxious ques-
ton asked by the officials who have
reason to believe the axe will fall on
them. When Governor Osborn CON-
pletes his work as eXecutioner. only Il
few of the fittest will survive the
political guillotine. This cleaning out
process is a herculean task, and, only

man with high ideals Of citizenship
and determination as possessed by Mr..
Osborn is equal to 1t. The new ap-
pointments are, of course, subject to
confirmation by the senate, and a hot
fight will be made on the floor 70 de-
feat the governors purpose, but the
fact that Lieutenant Governor Ross is
favorable to the plans and ideas of
the governor and has allowed the chief
executive business, is great leverage
in the hands of Mr.. Osborn.
New State Officers.
William r. Oates of Laurium has
taken charge of the executive Office
and succeeds Major Loonis Of Ionia,
secretary to the governor. Mr.. Oates
Is brilliant young attorney, has
served enc term in the Legislature and
conducted the Osborn campaign in the
upper peninsula.
George B. Horton of Fruit Ridge,
Lenawee county, will succeed William
H. Hoyt of Plymouth, Wayne county,
as tax commissioner. Mr.. Horton was
master of the state grange and one of
the staunch Osborn supporters in the
recent campaigns. and his selection to
this important position can be regard
ed as compliment to the srangers,
who Loyalty supported the governor
despite the fact that the Grange as a
body is in favor of tonnage tax and
Mr.. Osborn has repeatedly stated that
he is against such manner of taxation.
G. w. Palmer, better known as "Pus'
Palmer of Maniste, will take charge of
the insurance department. Mr.. Palm
er is an able man, well versed in in
surance matters, and is well qualified
to maintain the insurance department
of Michigan on the high level estab-
lished by Former Commissioner James
Y. Barry.
Gilbert Dame of Northport succeeds
Colon c. Lille of Coopersville as dairy
and food inspector. Mr. Dane has had
considerable training along this line
of work For a number of years he
served as inspector in the department
of which he now becomes the head.
The executive committee of the
State Automobile association, at a
meeting held at Grand Rapids recent
ly, voted to ask Governor Osborn to
appoint Horatio Earle state highway
commissioner. Governor Osborn can.
not do this II he continues to feel that
one term will do him. The commits
sioner's term is four years, and Mr..
Ely, the present commissioner, was ap.
pointed by Governor, Warner and his
appointment was confirmed by the SEN
ate for full term Of four years, which
means until 1913.
