to have the nerve to tackle him.
Governor Eberhart's managerial
force has been strengthened by the
addition of Albert Terrettin of Sank
Rapids. This does not mean that
George F. Author, the governors
private secretary and his acknowl-
edged campaign manager, has been
sent to the discard, but it does mean
that Mr.. Terrettin will be pretty
much it from now on. He will work
with Mr. Author and endeavor to
straighten out some of the tangles now
confronting the administration. Mr.
Terrettin, you probably know, was re-

While there is nothing to show
that everything is not harmonious in
the administration camp still there are
numerous rumors to the effect that

the other day how the substitution
could be brought about he replied,
