Governor Wilson assured the Demo-

there Is much foreboding in the ranks
OF those who, because of the patronage
dangled before them, allied themselves
with the Governor and obeyod his
mandate even reluctantly.
A comparison of notes has disclosed
that fact that more than n section of
the State has been promised the same
office and that IN other cases offices
which will not become vacant during
Gov. Wilson's term, even should he
fill 1t out, have been promised to sew
