AN OHIO MAN WANTS JESSE E. WILSON’S JOB.

Reported From Washington That Assistant Secretary of the Interior Wilson is to Retire.

A dispatch from Washington to the Indianapolis News of Tuesday says that the republican members of the Ohio delegation in congress understand that Car mi A. Thompson, who will soon retire as secretary of state in Ohio, is to be appointed assistant secretary of the interior to succeed Jesse E. Wilson, of Rensselaer, Ind., who has held his place for nearly six years. Mr. Wilson was appointed on the recommedation of Senator Beveridge, and the fact that he has held the assistant secretaryship under two secretaries of the interior is the best evidence that he has been an efficient public servant.

For some time the republican politicians in Ohio have been complaining because President Taft did not shake the plum tree in the neighborhood of that state. Recently they have been urging him to take care of several prominent Ohio politicians, and unless they misunderstand him, he intends to do this. While no official announcement has yet been,, made with reference to Thompson’s appointment, the Ohio people are certain that it is to be made. Horace DeHart, of Lafayette, has been secretary to Assistant Secretary Wilson ever since Mr. Wilson came to Washington. Mr. Wilson’s relatives here have heard no intimation from him to the effect that he is about to tender his resignation and there may be nothing in the report. Mr. Wilson has made a highly satisfactory record while filling this office and his retirement would be a mistake. Mr. Wilson’s family is now with him in Washington.
