against Insurance Commissioners A. S.
Basford that he has disposed OF the
patronage of his office to political W.
orites. a Osdel says in part:
II do not protest against any man
using the prestige OF his office in poll
tics, as an individual, but I do however
protest against the propriety OF Bas-
ford's shrewdly aimed circular letter to
the press of the state in benalf OF an
opposing candidate for governor, mailed
IN the insurance department envelopes
prior to his sending out insurance
statements; using the prestige of his
office and the states stationery for po-
litical purposes. I have no desire to
cause Basford's dismissal, as you init
mate he is Indispensable; however, I
am frank to say that If I was chief
executive of the state, he would not be
a member Of my official family"
