Eckstein Named as Possible Appointee Not Candidate
The article notes Andrew J. Eckstein is frequently urged as a fit choice for either the state board of control or the state tax commission presidency, but he is not a candidate and would rely on friends to help if chosen. Other names discussed for the tax vacancy include Samuel G. Iverson, Einar Holdale, Wilbur Booth, and Lester Wood, with McVey’s post reportedly offered to Lester Wood but refused for business reasons. New Ulm civic ties would welcome any of the favored “plums.”
