It may be of interest to Johnson office
seekers to learn that the President has in
trusted to his private Secretary, Mr.. Cooper
the dirty work of renewing from office men
who did not support "my policy" and the
appointment to the vacancies of those who
do. An ex-army officer, personal friend
of the private Secretary, called at the
White House today to pay him friendly
visit. After an houi s conversation on gen
eral subjects, Mr.. Cooper asked his friend
what brought him to Washington-if he
wanted an Office; saying that if he did he
could have one. He furthermore informed
his military friend that the President had
placed the whole management of the sub
ordinate offices throughout the country in
his hands, and that he was going to make
clean sweep of the Radicals.
