Speculate Over ZiegIer'S
Successor.

Speculation is rife at the State
house as to the possible successor
to Charles w. ziegler, chairman of
the State Highway Commission,
whose term expires April IT.
Farmer elements are asking that
a farmer be appointed to the board
in view of the Importance Of high
ways to that group. They have
advanced as their candidate w. w.
Rose of Rossville, a prominent
stockman.
Jess Murden Of Peru, Eleventh
district Republican chairman, is re-
ported to be advocating the APP
pointment of Arthur Thompson Of
Wabash, but declarations are that
Murden would not be adverse to
receiving the appointment himself,
Through all of this discussion,
Governor Jackson has kept silence,
and although visited by Murden
this week, has refused to comment.
No moves to direct the trend of
the appointment have been evil
denced by John d. Williams, direc-
to- of the commission, who is
watching the appointment atten-
lively, for if the appointee is I'M
favorable to the present director, a
move would probably be made by
Williams opponents to GUST him.
