Governor Pinkham is not satisfied
with the Territorial Food Commission.
although he himself appointed the
members, with the exception of Doctor
Dean, the executive officer of the or.
ganization. .....
Furthermore, if certain statements
that are being made in circles of the
Capitol Official family can be taken AZ

from resting dissatisfied, intends to
deal the commission a wallop that will

This Is the little scheme which Mr.
Pinkham is said to have in mind for
gingering up the commission and in.

with such acad emic calm over the head

OF course, says the report, every one
knows that the Governor and Link are
not rs thick as ordinary Democratic
leaders might be supposed to be, but
the Territory's chief executive is said

wish to got a man who answers the re-
quirements he has in mind, which, so
say other unkind persons, are more or
less diametrically opposite to those
which are possessed by the men already
members of the commission.
There is a story that is running
about on all tours in the halls of the
Capitol TO the effect that the Governor
was disappointed at some of the an.
pointments made BY the commission AZ.

gladly see changes made, but the law
under which the food body works does
not permit his enforcing his will as he
would. Also there are, SO far as any

when he was new to his present Office,
and one which has not worked as sat

the metaphor a bit, the particular club
which His Excellency is now holding
over the head of the commission, Is
said to be withholding of the appoint,

other islands, and the intimation that
comes from many quarters, that when
the appointments are made they will
not be to the liking of those already
members of the body. 6t.s.,9.
Just a little thing to show. the way
the gubernatorial wind is setting hap
pened the other day when the Governor
made his sole. visit to the Headquarters
of the commission. He was accom-
panied by his stenographer and he was
loaded for bear. Unfortunately there
was no one upon whom he could expend
the ampunition he carried, so he con,
tented himself with having his stenog
rapher copy the minutes of the commits.
