It's Chmn. Neff in the Picture

It's Chmn. Neff in the picture-now. He Is the
Successor OF the late Clarence z. Gilmore. His cleo
ton was unanimous. Commr. g. ". Terrell, senior
member Of the commission. who was entitled to the
place. is said TO have graciously yielded his claim
Of seniority. Commr. Lon Smith and Commr. Terrell
voted to place the former governor in the place.
Terrell is from West Texas.
Smith Is from East Texas.
Neff Is from Central Texas.
Neff had a long official record behind him.. He
had been prosecuting attorney Of McLennan; he had
served as a representative: he had been speaker Of
the house: he had been governor four years or two
terms; he had been appointed a member Of the fed
craI mediation board by Calvin Coolidge. He had
been reappointed by Pres. Hoover as the Coolidge ap-
pointment had not been confirmed BY the senate.
Earle q. Mayfeld. then a senator, had blocked con-
firmation under two presidents. Neff stepped out
OF the federal picture. Oscar B. Colquitt stepped in.
Gilmore died. Moody named his friend TO- the
vacancy. Now he is chairman OF the board. He
must make the race next year. First for a primary
nomination and then for election in November
There are many names in the open places on the
official primary ballot.
Mayfield's name will be on the ballot a candidate
for governor. Neffs name as a candidate for rail-
road commissioner. AS for Oscar B. he has five
years ahead or him as mediation commissioner ri
a salary of $4,000 a year and expenses. To date
Neff has a clear field. II may be different later

 Others being considered for tn, rost included George Woodruff, of Chicago: and Ralph Williams of Oregon, now a vice chairman of the national committee, but political such an extent that some observers feel the president virtually has de termined upon him.
