TO SUCCEED SELF.
AS FIRE MARSHAL.
OTTAWA MAN, 1T is RUMORED
AT SPRINGFIELD, WILL BE RE.
TANNED BY GOVERNOR SMALL
--APPoINTED BY LOWDEN FOUR
YEARS AGO.

Reports seeping out of Springfield
and reaching Ottawa indicate that
La Sale county, through John G.
Gambler, will receive at least one rich
poMtical plum to be dispensed as
part of Governor Small's patronage.
Gambler, according to grapevine"
telegraph maintained at the capital
through political gossip, is slated to
succeed himself as state fire mar
shal at an increase of $1,000 per an
nun in pay
Gambler received his appointment
from Ex-Governor Frank o. Lowden.
He filed the office for four years
and during that time is said to have
won lots of friends among insurance
people, among them being Senator
Sam Ettleson.
Chicago corporation counsel, and a
prominent insurance attorney. Be-
sides Ettleson, Governor Small's lead
er in the senate, Speaker Dahlberg,
of the house of representatives, IS
said to be stanch friend of Mr.
Gambler. and several weeks ago, it is
reported, he forecast the Ottawa
mans reappointment to his old post.
Ettleson. it is said, has been ac-
tive in Mr.. Gamblers behalf and as
a result he is said to stand a good
chance to be one of the few sur
vivors Of the old administration to
hold over. Mr.. Gambler, a lieuten-
ant Of former attorney general, w.
II. Stead, has not the endorsement
of the Smith-Small forces in La Sale
county. it is said but has the back
ing of the Lowden group, though that
organization four years ago, 1t is
claimed, was not for him at the time
LoWden elevated him to the job he
now holds.
Political gossip today centered
about the report that Gambler was
scheduled as plum getter, and a
hurried call of Smith and Small
henchmen brought many prominent
workers from different sections of the
county to talk over the situation.
