Rodgers 10 Gets Fire Marshalship
Spexal Dispatch to Commercial Tribune Columbus Ohio May 26 Harris will name W S Rodgers Cleveland tomorrow morning to the notice of State Fire Marshal succeeding D S Creamer Democrat whose term expires next Sunday For several days it has been apparent that H D Davis Cleveland who served one term in the office under Governor Herrick would not be named owing to cursory objections filed by local insurance agents Notwithstanding it was publicly declared by those interests that the objections would be withdrawn and the insurance men claimed they were back of no candidacy they have during the past few days urged the appointment of Harland Hollenbeck of Chardon whose father preceded Davis in the office In view of the fact that Rodgers is an insurance agent this attitude has been most unusual Rodgers had the backing of his Grand Army friends in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County Organization Behind Davis The entire Republican organization of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County was behind Davis and repeatedly and carefully urged his appointment Owing to the fact that the Governor has made several appointments recently without naming a veteran it has been generally conceded for months that an old soldier would be named for this office.
