Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office, Marshall, Michigan. Under Act) of Congress, March 8,1879. A GOOD INFLUENCE. Who is the power behind the throne in the Fitzgerald administration Beyond any question there is an entirely different atmosphere at Lansing than there was in the first Fitzgerald Administration. The retention of key men in the Murphy Administration indicates th'at Gov.

Fitzgerald is taking advice from different people than he did when he became governor in 1535. The theory of The Evening Chronicle is that two'men are directly responsible. They are, Murl H. DeFoe, editor of the Charlotte Republican-Tribune and Duke Shilson, former Associated Press reporter at the state capitol. Both of them are tfeen men whose influence would be in the public interest and both of them are men who unyder- stand government and particularly state government.

DeFoe is something of a practical idealist. He is a dry and is serving on the state liquor commission. We doubt if that is the proper place for a dry but at least so far as DeFoe can manage it the dealings of the liquor commission will be on the level. Shilson is to be a member of the new Public Service Commission. He is on the level and his appointment is a good one.

If these two men predominate in the governor's councils, Michigan will have a good state government. If the McKay, Barnard and McKeighan gang get the upper hand, then the state's interests will suffer in favor of special interests. To date we think the DeFoe-Shilson 'combination is in the ascendency and it should be the hope of all good citizens that it will continue. Shilson, probably better than anyone in Michigan, knows the abuses that existed in Lansing for-years and years or until the Murphy Administration, and he will freely admit to anyone that Frank Murphy not only was honest but that he knows government used not only his brains but all his energies in the public interest. We I happen to know-Shilson fairly well and know his views on government and while, like most experienced news' paper men, he is a bit cynical, no one will be able to slip and fast ones across the plate while Shilson is batting.

Both these men accompanied Gov. Fitzgerald to Florida last fall immediately after the election and if they are not the men behind the gun now, they certainly were then and we hope they still are. It would be difficult to account for the retention of such men as Parole Commissioner Gellein, Insurance Commissioner Gauss, Banking Commissioner McAuley, Agricultural Commissioner and Health Commissioner Gudakunst on any other basis. The handicap which Gov. Fitzgerald suffers today is not in his appointees but in the men elected to office with The weakness of the State Legislature arid of the men "holding the major elective offices at Lansing is so marked that despite anything Gov.

Fitzgerald can do, they wreck his administration. The sole exception is Au- 1 ditor-General Vernon Brown. Brown is an outstanding man. i TROUBLE IN THE DIPLOMATIC TWO RESIGN FROM THE, PUBLIC UTILITY BOARD (Concluded from Pafe 1) resignation were Howell Van Au- Ken and Charles 8. Porritt, newly- elected chairman of the Democrat 'state central committee.

-'Frank G. Schemanske has never had his appointment confirmed by the Senate, enabling the governor to fire htm without a hearing. Can Name Three "I can appoint three members to the present commission and remove Paul H. Todd as chairman even if the act abolishing the commission is illegal by the courts." Fitzgerald said. (Todd would remain as a under that arrangement, however.

Three commissioners, a majority, could select their own chairman.) "I don't think it is Illegal. There may be a few days' delay, but I'm sure the courts will uphold us," the Governor said. Todd and Commr. Donnelly have obtained a temporary order' restraining the five members of the new public service commission from taking office. A hearing on their petition to make the order j.

permanent will be held at 0:00 a. W-m. tomorrow in Ingham clrcutf court before Judge Leland Curr. Fitzgerald said Van- Auken, Porritt and Schemanske went off the payroll Feb. 16.

The governor also made ten appointments, including live to the board of managers ol tlie state fair. that excessive tire prices cost It at $351.158. "The justice department said the government repeatedly had en- coujitered identical bidding from supposedly competing sellers of many products. CO-ED'S VOICE RANGE Critics say she probably has the most unusual musical voice in the tate and one of the few of its kind the country.

She ias had only a few formal lessons. Gov't Starts New Anti-Trust Action WASHINGTON, D. C.
