TOBE AND TOM IN SADDLE?
Charged Former Commissioners Are
Debating Appointments of the
Incumbent

ATLANTA.-The Atlanta Journal
prints this interesting political story,
which has set the tongues of politi-
clans to wagging:
1T was passed down the line
among the politicians Tuesday that
in making appointments OF oil and
/ fertilizer inspectors ]. ]. Conner, the
commissioner of agriculture, would
lay due heed to advice AID sugges-
tons from o. B. Stevens and Thos.
| G. Hudson, both of whom are for
mer heads of the agricultural depart
ment.
LAS a result of this suggestion it
| is said that Mr.. Hudson and Mr..
Stevens are being besought for their
| influence, and the opportunities of
the horde of applicants for the 200
odd jobs are making life merry for
Commissioner Conner.
TT is quite probable that the re-
Eports of the very powerful influence
which Messrs. Stevens and Hudson
are alleged to have with Commission
| err Conner grew out of the fact that
Monday afternoon the trio held Sc
cret conference at the home of Mr..
Stevens on East Linden street, at
which prospective appointments were
| the subjects discussed.
Some criticism is being leveled at
Commissioner Conner for having
consulted Mr.. Hudson relative to oil
and fertilizer appointments. This
criticism is based on the fact that
! Mr.. Hudson is now the representa-
tive of of a big eastern fertilizer COM
pany and that although the sugges-
tons he would make to the commits
sioner concerning appointments
might be perfectly all right and alto
gether unrelated to the interests
which he represents nevertheless on
the face of things such cooperation
would be open to criticism.
Recognizing the rather embar-
RAISING situation in which Commits
sioner Conner is placed by the pub
| licity given to the conference on East
Linden street a warm friend and
supporter of the commissioner states
that while it is true Mr.. Conner and
Mr.. Stevens arranged for a private
meeting at the latter's residence this
action was taken for the purpose of
temporarily lodging the job hunters
and their friends.
This friend of the commissioner
is authority for the staement that
Mr.. Hudson was not invited to the
conference, but that learning that
one was being held he fastened out
and participated as far as he was
permitted"

WATER WAGONS IN PARADE.
Louisville Catholics Try an Innova
ton Which Works Well.

An innovation in parades was
started at Louisville, KY, when "a
water wagons were scattered at inter
walls in the pageant of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies. The
wagons were provided with distilled
water and individual drinking cups,
in which water boys carried drafts
to participants and spectators. On
account of the intense heat many of
the marchers took advantage of the
water supply to keep wet handker-
chiefs on their forehads. Even these
precautions did not prevent several
heat prostrations among marchers
and participants.
