represented in the cabinet of tn
governor of Tennessee. Their
have been good many office
filled by West Tennesseans, bu
none of them were from Mem
phis.
The race for comptroller ha'
not taken on any interesting fea
lures. Alex Barthell, formel
trustee of Davidson, would likt
to be a candidate, and Claude
Williams, now in the state treas
urer's office, wants to run. The
opinion seems to be that Porter
Dunlap, who guided the party to
victory in the late campaign,
might want it. if he does, it will
take a mighty hard fight to beat
him. He is youngs energetic and
popular.
Penitentiary jobs have always
been eagerly sought for proba-
bly, because they are easy, and
probably, too, because of late
years the penitentiary has had a
sort of way of, running itself.
The three prison commissioners
are appointed for six years. one
every two years. The death of
Capt. Matt Marshall of Dyers-
burg enabled Hooper to Republi-
canize the prison board before it
should have been Republicanized.
There are some Offices connect
ed with the State Board of Edu-
cation which will be filled. Of
the eight members of the board
three are Democrats, Bynum,
Todd and Hanson, and the gov
ernor and superintendent are ex
officio members.
With the State Board of Health
it is different. That's thorough
ly Republican, and with the ex-
ception of DR.. Rufus Fort of
Nashville. president of the board,
who is a fusionist, all members
are Republicans. The commits
sioner of agriculture is ex ohicio
a member of this board.
