1t is said the state canvassing board
will be in no hurry to certify re-
turns, especially the civil service
amendment which carried by some.
thing like 1000 majority. 1t is said
an agreement has been reached be-
tween Governor Shafroth and Govern
cr-elect Ammons that means the re-
tention of the Shafroth favorites in
office and at the same time the ap-
pointment by Ammons of certain ia
vorites. BY the agreement Ammons
is to appoint Shafroth's private sec
retary to the vacancy on the court of
appeals which means the elimination
of Leslie Hubbard of Pagosa Springs.
No question but that the civil serv-
ice law will be so manipulated as to
satisfy the demands of the powers
that be. Thus the spirit will be
evaded the same as ii will be when
ever the politicians decree change.
Civil service is somewhat of farce,
especially the order recently issued
by President Taft relative to fourth
class postmasters.
