 is handled by the secretary of state.
 Tt is generally known said MT. Julian that the secretary of state is an unusual

 ance department full justice. The retiring secretary and the present secretary are
 hopeful that the insurance department
 will be made department separate and
 distinct If such Is done, insurance will net the state a large sum of money eacl

 of fact, the most profitable department ir the state government And it will mean the protection or the people rom the insurance shark-and there Is such an in dividual.'
