personal inconvenience and sacrifice great deal Of his
time from the start placing the organization sound

on OF the various heads Of bureaus Ii is asserted that
no outside commission could know requirements Of
an Office and ability OF the candidates well as the
superor officer of division. One high bureau officer
who has eli much annoyed by the persistent efforts Of
the class Of gentlemen he speaks Of after expressing his
approval or the bill said humorOusy: - am going to
ha We section OF the floor hung hinges, anu the hrst
Senator Member who comes here place-huntng will
be landed suddenly IN the street.
A memDer OF the Cabinet said he did not understand
why COngressmen, directly responsible to their
constituents for their actions, ana VINO SHOULD from
heir rosition be well qualified to judge must bc de
pryed OF the power to recommend candidates Tor APP
pOntmeDt to. Office. Perhaps That power had bcen
abused instances but their commitments pOssesbed the
