Frequent inquiries are made for the reasons why
the President does not accept the resignation Of
Collector James F. Casey, of New Orleans as the
fact ia known that it called for and made at the
instance of the President and Is still In his hands.
While the President really intended to appoint
successor to Collector Casey, he found the Congress
sional delegation unwilling, collectively or ind
vidually to recommend anybody for the position.
senator Kellogg said he could not select from one
wing of the republican party without mourning the
displeasure Of the other The same excuse was
made by Representatives Sheldon and Sypher, and
the President was advised II he assumed the re-
sponsbility 1t would certainly disrupt the party.
Besides, nothing was alleged against the present
incumbent in the State that made it desirable to
have change. Mr.. Casey, therefore, has hold on
the ONCE until after the Presidential election.
