Gov Mount Approves National Guard Staff with Holdout
Governor Mount endorses the staff appointed by Col. Harry B. Smith of the second Indiana National Guard, except one man dismissed for past conduct. Commissions await issuance and names of others are withheld pending formal steps. Mount asserts final approval and potential veto rights, while Adjutant General Gore cites lack of issued commissions. The partisan nature of guard appointments is debated, with two Democrats among recent regimental officers. Isaac L. Strauss of Rockville is slated for promotion to major, with question whether an examination is required.
