ty. He said after reaching the office

Fear Clean Sweep.
The failure of State Fire Marshal
Zuber, and State Printer e. A. Craw-
ford to secure reappointment, togeth-
er with the reports that State High
way Commissioner James r. Marker
and State Librarian John H. Newman
would also lose out, has filled the Har-
mon holdover officials and employees
with increased apprehension lest the
new administration will make pretty
nearly a clean sweep in appointments.
The politicians have been fighting
Marker hard, and if he is displaced it
will be largely because of this oppo-
sition. He has not needed their re-
quests enough in the appointment of
men for his office. Instead he has put
on his force men who have gone
through college with high honors. Lii
brarian Newman says that he has re-
ceived no intimation that he is to be
displaced. 1t is said that Frank N.
Swetzer of Canton, member of the
state library board of commissioners,
is sure to get the job.
Secretary Graves Ruling.
Every election board in the state

tary of State Graves has given to the
| Cuyahoga county election board. The
new constitution provides that muni-
cipalities having population of 1000
shall nominate by primary election.
The question of how to ascertain the
population is bothering the election
boards. Graves says that in determin-
ing this question the federal census
| shall be taken in the absence of other
evidence. Many municipalities have
become villages since the census was
taken and they are eager to be recog-
presented establishing the population
to be larger than shown by the last
federal census, it should be clear, GER

state license for which a fee of $40
is charged. This money is paid to the
state nursery and orchard inspector

state treasury. In another opinion II
is held that sheriffs who are railroad

over steam and electric lines, cannot
charge up their transportation to the
county when travelling on passes.
Gen. Wood viii Investigate.
Capt. John M. Field of the regular
