Those who have taken their vaca- tions were happy, at least more so than these who have not, for they have had their rest, but those' who had planned Vacations and had waited, are now counting their loose change and wondering if life will be worth the living after the notice comes, and are beginning to understand that a political job has some drawbacks and 1s not all the time a continual round of pleasure. It is ‘going to' be pretty hard on some of them, for, on account of state institutions beihg put on a non- partisan basis, no assessments can be made on the employes of these in- stitutions, and consequently the state house bunch will have to dig down deeper.
