It may be that some of the men appointed were supporters of John Steen or S. J. Doyle for govern- or, or they may have voted for Gov- ernor Frazier. I do not know how they stood and I do not care how they voted. In the general election I voted for Frazier but I do not require an applicant for appointment as tax su- pervisor to have voted that way.
