Oil Jobs to Go to the Republicans.

Those sixty oil inspection jobs, whidh 'democratic senators in the recent legislature refuesd to abolish because the jobs were held by demo= crats, will be occupied before the week end, according to report, by republicans. Instead of saving the jobs for democrats, the democratic senators, it develops, saved them for the republicans. Governor Goodrich is preparing to displace the present jobholders with men of his own party. The governor was anxious to abolian jobs, but since a recalcitrant legislature—'the democratic part of it—declined to heed the recommendation, he is preparing to distribute the places among republicans. The number of applications for the oil inspection jobs has increased in such numbers that the governor has called for help. He has designated Will H. Hays, republican state chairman, and John W. McCardle, as a reception committee “for applicants. ——- - —■ ■ ■■■ 11 -
