The Charlotte Observer printed today a hitherto unpublished letter from Thomas R. Marshall written in March 1924, in reply to the paper's editorial -suggestion that opposing factions of the democratic party might well compromise upon him as the nominee of the party for presi dent. "I am not a candidate, nor have I ever been,' Mr. Marshall wrote the editor of the Observer. "I be long to that school which believes that .he presidency is too exalted an office to be put up through the prl-i mary, for sale to the biggest money, hag or the most inflated gas bag.' Mine eyes have lived to see the time when. Instead of the people hiring servants, servants are now trying to hire the people. Be not deceived In human nature. What a man buys he owns and will use for himself. I am quite content and happy in the faith that od citizens are as neces sary as officials.

Eddy of Rose burg ftnd George Joseph of Portland, the two latter members of the state senate from Douglas and Multnomah counties respectively.' Through an ngreement entered Into during the legislative session last winter, Senators ( Beats, Eddy and Garland were to have the appoint ing of a member of the commission upon the expiration of Kendall's term Garland to name the man In case the three could not agree. It developed that they could not agree for the reason mainly that certain southern Oregon names proposed by Senator j Kddy were neither satisfactory to the governor or the to other sena tors. This resulted in the appoint ment f a 1 1 1 n g upon Beals, who was anxious to have the Job. Senator! Eddy Is very friendly to Garland, and' out of consideration for Eddy the governor appointed Garland to sue-, ceed Veatch, Senator Joseph's feel-, ings In the mntter also were con sidered In the Garland appointment.' Garland will assume the duties of commissioner as soon as he returns from California, where he will go on a pleasure trip of several weeks.

Jefferson Myers, former state treasurer, was with the governor much of the time yesterday and is believed to have advined-him relative to -the appointments. Myers was looked upon in a probable appointee ft the time the governor removed Ross, NORWAY STARTS SEARCH BY AIR . j':; :; Decides to f Send Seaplanes Into ""Arctic Ship Is Sent to Spitzenbergen General Opinion Explorer's Planes Wrecked.
