Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh's
return to the State Capitol, which is
expected within a week, is being eag-
erly awaited on Capitol Hill because
of reports that he will take up the
questions surrounding appointments
of manager of the State Insurance
Fund and a member of the State In
dustrial Board before leaving on Sep
tember II on the first of the three
tours of the farming regions of the
State. The Governor will likely motor
home from Maine. He plans to close
his summer home. in a few days and
VIII make an easy trip to Harrisburg.

by mail, making one visit here since
July 2 and late August matters have
been allowed to await his return. One
OF the matters to occupy his attention
will be meeting of the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings.
Governor Brumbaugh will also
make a number of appointments of
trustees and justices of the peace on
which letters and other data have
been accumulating pending his re-
turn. He will also have talk with
members of the State Commission of
Agriculture and meet heads of de-
partments before going out on his
farm tour. Vacancies will be dis
cussed.
In all probability the Governor will
make most of the speeches for which
he is scheduled during October. He
will spent parts of three weeks on
farm tours this month.
