To Change the Board.
"W T hile I have nothing one way or
the other to say at present," said Gov,
McUride on Thursday, "concerning the
heads of the different departments, I
am free to admit that a change in tho
political complexion of the board of
control is necessary in order that 1 act
without embarrassmant. While tin
law makes it necessary that the board
bo non-partisan, with at least one dem
ocrat on it, the present political makeup
of two democrats would seriously im
barrass me. The governor of the state
is held responsible by hi - pa ty for the
manner in which he conducts the suite
institutions. To conduct them to my
party's best interests with a board of
tlie present political complexion would
be absurd."
