He is working on both his cabinet

He will recommend many radicall

abolition Of number of boards and
the consolidation Of number OF de-
paTtments. He Will recommend rad
ical changes in the handling of the
State School Land Department, and
the elimination of many jobs. office
seekers are discouraged. In former
times volumes Of endorsements were
the thing. and regular campaigns
were made for appointments. This
system doesn't avail anything with
Williams and encouragement is an
article that he deals in sparingly.
