the nation's tribute will be paid In
that brief space. I

man occupied such an Important
role during eight historic years. Pres

the man, will be held at the hotel.

CHARLOTTE ' N. C June 2. (A.

today a hitherto unpublished letter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

has expired, and Garland to suc

Through an ngreement entered Into

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

anxious to have the Job. Senator!

Garland will assume the duties of
commissioner as soon as he returns

He said he had not requested the
