TO DlsPLAcE GUNsHANAN. Thcuuht That He Will Not Be Reap pointed to Tuberculosis Commission by Gov. Baldwin.

Connecticut is the best organized territory on the face of the earth in the fight to stamp out tuberculosis where it's effect is the deadliest, and John F. Gunshanan is the man who began tn work of organization and pushed to day and night with such splendid results for suffering human ity, says the New Haven Times Leader.
 Now it is understood that Governor Baldwin proposes to name either pr. Henry Stoll or Dr. Walker Steiner Of the Hartford hospital to succeed the late Dr. Knight on the tuberculosis commission.
 Friends of MT. Gunshanan feel con fdent that if Governor Baldwin is re- elected he will not reappolnt Alr Gun shanan, and one reason for that con clusion if that the governor would noi be likely to name two commissioners from one city.
