POLITICAL AXE
THEATENS TO
FALL TUESDAY
Craftsmanship of the
County Board and
Job of Attorney
Feature. ~

The keen edged political axe may
fall lightly but effectively on the
necks of several county employees
when the reorganization meeting of
the board of county commissioners
is held Tuesday morning.
Just what the exact status is no.
body seems to know. No pre- -organiza- :
tion caucus seems to be in prospect.
The craftsmanship of the board is
another matter that is clouded with
uncertainty and doubt when observed
from the outside. Only two are men
toned to WELD the gavel, Commits
sioners Harrington and Candy.
. It is understood that Tom Went
worth, one of the three hOldover
members. would not have the job on a
Christmas tree. Frank J. Riera, who
defeated Gus Soderlind in District No.
l in easy fashion, was reported sew
eral weeks ago to have his eye on
it, but later reports from another
quarter supercede the first.
Simmered down, the race seems to
be between Candy and Harrington.
And with only few days until the
reorganization session and no caucus
rumored, neither apparently has any
advantage over the other. Only the
meeting will tell.
!, The position of county attorney IS
another doubtful issue. Whispers at
one corner have it that r. Pope Reese
will step aside for a new face. while
the next minute another unofflcial
leak is just the reverse.
At any rate the craftsmanship of
the board and who will be appointed
county attorney lead the field in thu
guessing and wondering.
There also seems to be someth1
unsettled about the position of cou
physician. DIR. j. II. .Bickerstaff. !
present Incumbent is said to. h
others camping on his tran, SO tn.
lob may also furnish something pleas
ing to the palate of county political
analysts.
All present incumbents are out for
reappointment, it is understood.
Several are out also for Probation
Officer Sam Pinney'S job, it is re-
ported. Retiring Commissioner Sod
Grind is mentioned in that connec-
ton. Janitors are to be appointed for
both the county court house and jail,
and superintendent Of the poor farm
is to be named.
These questions are forced paftlaliy
into the background.
The new board will be composed OF
Gilmore, Candy, Harrington, Went
worth and Riera. While Harrington
is now serving the unexpired term OF
]. r. NJ. Gates, resigned, he will be-
gin his regular term as a new mem
Der. He and Riera were the only new
members elected in November, the
others being returned by their con-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-
Senate warfare over the
Borah proposal for a world
economic conference reached
dramatic turning point to-
day when President Harding
threw the full force of the
administration against Sena-
tor Borah's plan as contained
in an amendment to the naval
appropriation bill and, in a
letter read in the senate, vir-
tually asked for it's defeat.
Another days general debate fol-
lowed, but action went over. Plans
we're made for a vote tomorrow but
SO many senators desired to speak
that, with forces favoring the Borah
rider reported sparring for time in
an effort at recruiting, delay over
the New Years holiday appeared pos
sib.e. Defeat of the amendment was
predicted positively by administra-
ton leaders and conceded, upon the
present status Of the battle by its
champions.

his 50 street home, that the sue
cess OF their movement was assured.
At the same time. the senate adopt
ed a resolution offered by Senator
Harris, democrat, Georgia, expressing
pleasure and joy at his recovery to-

through quickly with a chorus Of ayes
from the democratic side of the cham
Der, many of the republican senators,
cngrossed in other matters, apparent
ly paying no attention to it's purport.
The former president spent his
birthday quietly. For an hour or more
group Of men and women stood in
the rain in front Of his home hoping
that he might appear to greet them,
but all they saw of the wartime pres
isent was glimpse of him as he
drove off in his limousine late in the
day for his daily ride.

tation came to Mr.. Wilson from all
parts Oh the WIOlu. y 1t" CLOSS II lSluS

CATION representing the Woodrow Will
son foundation arriving at 3 O'Clock,
for 40 minute visit.
The delegation told Mr.. Wilson that
contributions to the fund already had
passed $500, 900, probably now approx
imated $500, 900, and would in the near
future undoubtedly reach the $1,000
900 goal. The former president was
reported to have expressed -satisfac-
ton over the success Of the movement
and of it's purpose.
An egrossed copy Of the resolution
adopted by the senate was sent to
Mr.. Wilson by President Cool
idge with the following letter for
felicitation:
