ston, well known insurance man of

proffered him, but whether he will make
fight for 1t is not known. The candi-
dacy of Mr.. Boydston has been kept
under the hat pretty effectually so far
and but little is known as TO his inten-
tons. II is a pretty well known fact that
Governor Morehead intends to try to
mako the coming two years of his adj

pretty well conducted, and he may not
care to make any changes where he is

politics will dominate the selection is
hard to tell Two democrats, the gov
ernor and attorney general, and one re-
publican, the land commissioner, will
have the selection of a successor to Mr.
Price II he does not succeed himself
Strange as 1t may seem, It is reported on
good authority that the republican mem
Der Of the board is opposed TO the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Price while a democratic
member is said to be pretty well salts
fled that Price is the man needed for
the position because OF his knowledge of
conditions regarding the power sites in
the state which in the next two years
are liable TO become very prominent sub
tects of discussion and for action.
The state could lose a great deal by
having new man in the position nov
held by Mr.. Price who was un-
acquainted with the ropes. and for thI.
reason 1t is said that because the state
might lose from having new man al
the important post this democratic mem
