LEADERS OF HIS PARTY
Governor-EleCt Hammond Is To
Visit ST. Paul Later
Part of Week

St Paul, November 11.-Governor-
elect Hammond is expected in st.
Paul Friday or Saturday to confer
with democratic leaders. Since the
celebration at his home town OF 81.
James Saturday night he has been
resting and trying to catch up win
his correspondence. He Is still sui
fering from the cold that attacked
him at the close of the campaign.
Nothing in the way of appoint
ments will be considered by him, IL
is said, until after his conference
with state committee leaders. Mr..
Hammond has been in Washington
SO long and is not as familiar as
he might be with local political con-
ditions. He will defer action for a
month at least, Il Is believed.
Mr.. Hammond will not brook being
pestered by Office seekers, IL is as
serted. AS a result those who want
jobs are endeavoring to reach him
through the state committee leaders.
Even these leaders, 1t is said, may
discover before the appointments are
announced that the covernor-elect has
not deferred to them entirely. be-
cause during the cam9s Ign they found
that he was bound to have his own
way I'm many things despite all ad'
, vice to the contrary.

NORMAL BOARD MADE
PLANS FOR THE WORK
Passed Budgets; 1t Asked For
$50, 900 LESS Than Two
Years Ago

Minnesota's state normal school
board met yesterday in st. Paul and
laid plans for the next two years,
Among the things the board did
are these:
Passed budgets for five schools.
Asked for $4,000 less than two
years ago.
Put chatting dishes in dormitories
under ban.
Received reports on rural school
branches of the normal schools.
Decided not to ask for additional
normal school buildings.
The board will ask the legislature
for S752,650 as the total OF the bud
gets for the five schools. Two years
ago the legislature granted the
board SS44,415 for support of the
normal schools.
In addition to this the Legislature
granted the board 100000 each for
new buildings at the Winona and
Moorhead normal schools. This ap-
preparation was made without re-
quest from the normal school board.
The board decided that appropria-
tons would be requested only to
support the present normal schools.
New buildings will not be asked. so
that the total request for appropri.
atoms can be reduced from that of
two years ago.
The increases asked for the five
schools for support over two years
ago were: Mankato, $1,000; Duluth
$4,000; Winona, $4,000; Moorhead
$4,000; and st. Cloud. $4,000.
The recommendations of George
Nettleton, inspector of the state in
surance department, that chafine
dishes be eliminated from the normal
school dormitories was passed by
the board. No combustible materials
will be allowed in the dormitories.
