On Pardon Board By Governor ‘ . For J. J. Gillette’s Place. Governor Marshall says Harry B. Darling, of Laporte, chairman in 1908. of 1 the Democratic press bureau, will be appointed to the state board-of parddns to succeed John J.. Gillette, of Lagrange. whose term lias expired. With parting. the board will, for the first time in years, have a Democrat as a member. Darling was appointed by Governor Marshall fifteen months ago to ‘succeed Thomas A. Daily, of Indianapolis, who was * commissioned by former Governor Hanly, on the eve of that executive’s leaving office, to fill an unexpired term. The entry •on the official record in the Governor’s office shows Daily to have been appointed for the unexpired term, but the commission issued by Governor mission issued by Gov. Hanly 'was for four years. Daily declined to surrender the place on the date shown by the official record in the Governor’s office, and retains the place, although it has been given him to understand that the Governor believes he is at least morally, not entitled tc bis seat. It is probable that the appointment of Darling will be made soon after the work of the present session of the board has been completed. I
