The article notes Governor Scott aims to widen the distribution of appointive offices and shows less inclination to reappoint past officials. He created vacancies in the General Assembly by rewarding supporters with top ranks, naming W. I. Halstead, W. T. Hatch, Frank Huskins, and A. C. Edwards among others. New appointments also shifted payrolls between departments, increasing new personnel in state government. The piece contrasts this with the previous administrations and highlights a trend toward fresh staffing.
