Washington, but when it comes to putting
the Democratic policy of retrenchment into
operation. the true Radical idea sticks out
conspicuously. Only those employees who
have influence are retained. An exchange
says that the average age of of forty-six per-
sons selected for dismissal is sixty-two years.
One of them has been in continuous service
of the government since 1919, and has held
many places of trust within the department.
Another has held equally responsible posi-
tions since 1892

The constant reader of the reports of Rad

have noticed IA great similarity in the Ian

been received by telegraph and Others by mail.

of Il meeting at Mitchell and it was marked

account of the day meeting at Mitchell and
also of the night meeting. A letter or

whole report must have been written in the
