California's Governor Seeks County Supervisor
Sacramento, Cal. The worm has turned and the job really seeks the man.
Gov. Friend W. Richardson is in the unusual position of having a political plum which apparently nobody wants. It is in Alpine county, where the reluctance of the inhabitants to hold office has caused the governor to have posted in the courthouse at Markleeville a notice calling for applicants for appointment as supervisor.
Supervisor George H. Luhrs of Alpine county created the vacancy by resigning. Patiently the governor waited for the army of deserving aspirants. None came. When he decided to advertise, he found there was no newspaper published in the county.
