It was considered almost certain
here today thai Governor Patterson
will within the next week or two
removti William S. Loveiis, utato
prohibit Ion commissioner and ap
point in his place George Alexan
der, former sheriff of Va.shiu'ton
con niy. The governor, however,
would not confirm this freshest ul
ptdltical indications, ami was non
committal tin tho subject.
The change apparently will ho
purely on the basis of the doctrine.
j thai pullllcal spoils belong to tho
political party Homing tne upper
hand, for Leveus is conceded to
h.TVtt made a success of his tleparl-
I niont. stralglitening out many of
!tho difficulties In which the office
f had becomo Involved prior to his
taking office. Levens, a democrat,
(was appointed prohibition commis
; sioiier by former Governor Pierce
I early In lfTt after the legislature
'of that year hail made a special in
vestigation of the department as
conducted by George L. Cleaver.
Levens has. steadfastly worked In
cooperation with the sheriffs, po
lice departments and other local
authorities', which has done much
Iti make him a popular official. His
home Is at Itaker where he was for
many years prosecuting attorney.
Alexander In Line
Since Governor Patterson tu

! talioli as to whether a change would

imenl. anil numerous men have been
mentioned as possible successors to
Levens. Hut it now aipears that

I If Levens Is succeeded by an
other man It Is believed many
'.changes will be made in tho per
sonnel of the deparimeut.
