Entered In the Postoffice at Bomid)l, Minnesots, 2s secon class matter, 5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE SUBSCRIPTIO The “News and Comment” man of the Duluth News Tribune pro- fesses to believe that Governor Eberhart “lost out” in the appoint- ment of A. F. Woodsas dean of the State College of Agriculture, and says: “In selecting A. F. Woods, head of the department of plantology in the department of agriculture at Washington, for dean of the Minne- sota college of agriculture, the board of regents seems to have hit upon an expert in agriculture, and Governor Eberhart appears to have lost his first -real fight, he having favored the selection of Andrew M. Soule of Georgia.” FULLERTON A’ND THE GAME AND FISH COM- MISSION. Sidelights on the ‘‘inner work- ings” of the State Game and Fish commission are cropping out since Sam Fullerton was summarily dis- missed as superintendent of fisheries, and as northern Minnesota people are especially interested in anything that might happen to Sam, the fol- lowing, taken from the political column of the Minneapolis Tribune, will be read with interest in this section: “The placing of the rollers under Sam F. Fullerton, superintendent of fish hatcheries, by the fish and game commission yesterday has placed it within the power of Governor Eber- hart to name the executive agent of the fish and game commission. This means that Governor Eberhart will designate the man who will succeed Carlos Avery in a position whose importancc has been growing every year, and has increased greatly under the administration of Mr. Avery. “Mr. Fuilerton is made the execu- tive agent of the fish and game commission fight. He is removed ‘for the good of the .service,’ and the board will ot submit to his nomina- tion as executive agent. “This was the substanceof the message which the members of the fish and game commission conveyed to Governor Eberhart yesterday. The governor said it was in the province of the board to name the successor to Mr. Fullerton, and the name of J. J. Green of Duluth was suggested for the position. “There will be no fight between the Republican administration and the Democratic officeholders over this position or the executive agency. Governor Eberhart took the position that the courtesy of naming the ex- ecutive agent of the fish and game commission had always been ex- tended the governor and intimated that to refuse him the privilege would be regarded asa discourtesy which he would submit to, the com- mission having an undoubted right to elect the executive agent out of its own membership. ““The point was a broad one and was ose which the Democratic or- ganization could not well ignore. They gave up the idea of naming the executive agent, but decided that Sam Fullerton should go, and that he should be debarred from the privilége of succeeding Carlos Avery as executive agent, a position to which he was understood to aspire.” Sam Fullerton has been known before this torise in his wrath and smite’ his enemies; and it is not at all likely that the doughty Scot will meekly accept his dismissal without hitting back at the men with whom he has been so actively engaged until,a recent estrangement, and just thow that estrangement. came about is one of the kaleidoscopic gymnastic acts for which Sam is noted, and which his friends cannot understand.
