BENNETT MUST GO AS COMMISSIONER
 IN HIGHWAY DEPT.
Macdonald and Ford Are Men toned As Possible Choices of Republican Leaders.
Especial to The Farmer)

Hartford, Nov. 7-Hfghway Com missioner Charles J. Bennett will be removed by the incoming Republican General Assembly, according to a generally accepted report current here during the past few days. Among those mentioned as his successor are former H1ghway Commissi oner James H. Macdonald and City Engineer E. l.. Ford of New Haven.
 Comnissi oner Bennett's removal will be purely on account of political reasons The commissfonership is one of the coveted plums at the dis posal of the state administra alton. and the Republican leaders intend to use it in rewarding the faithful. Not the slightest criticism can be made of MT. Bennetts administration, but he is slated to be a victim of politics
 New Haven hears a report that former Comn1issi oner Macdonald wants his old job back again and that he has considerable backing for the place. MT. MacDonaId's removal was one of the Democratic platform issues two years ago.
 City Engineer Ford, of New Haven, who also has been mentioned for the place, has not been. consulted in the plan to give him MT. Benn ett's post, it is said. On previous occasions MT. Ford has declined to allow his name to be used in connection with the of flee, preferring to continue work he has mapped out for the City of New Haven.
