Show Mr. Maxfield was given the ap j pointment as long-term member of the engineering commission, prize plum in a long list of gubernatorial guber-natorial appointments, only after the state senate had failed Tues-: day afternoon to confirm the ap-j pointment of J. Ed Wilson, of; Milford, Union Pacific conductor former county Democratic corn-! mitteeman and county commis-l sioner, and one of the very first! Maw supporters in the entire ' state. Mr. Wilson's appointment, an-j nounced Saturday night and re-i fused confirmation by the state, senate in executive session Tuesday Tues-day afternoon, was largely due. ' we are informed, to activities of the organized truckers of the state. In this, it is thought, they were quietly aided and abetted; by some of the officers and mem-! bers of the Associated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah, who, immediately immedi-ately following the senate's action, came out into the open by strenuously stren-uously pressing the appointment of L. A. Wynaught, also of Milford, Mil-ford, in place of Mr. Wilson. But Mr. Wynaught, according to reliably re-liably information from upstate, never had a ghost of a chance of getting the appointment from Governor Maw, and Milford thus loses th single chance in perhaps per-haps a hundred years of landing an appointment of such importance import-ance to the community.
