Landis Will Probably Be Governor of Porto Rico.

Delphi Herald: According to dispatches from Washington, President Taft will recommend Hon. C. B. Landis for the Porto Rico governorship. Mr. Landis is at home in Delphi now but is evidently not saying much about it. It is said by his close friends here that he is not officially aware of anything of the kind. Mr. Landis has been flirting with the lecture bureaus of the country for some time and it is possible that he has tied himself up with a contract for the platform. He is recognized as a very able speaker. There is no doubt that he would made a good governor if he should accept the place. The position we understand pays SB,OOO a year and furnishes him a palace wherein to reside.
