WASHINGTON, April 20.-Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks says that he never had
thought of going to Europe this summer as
has been reported. Said ne: Z have too
much to occupy my time at home. This is
formative period of the Democratic party
restored to power. 1t is very important to
get things in good running order. The adj
ministration will have plenty to do when
congress reaSSembleS without looking after
the appointment of persons to offices. We
must present measures for public approval
and support. The experience of the past
six weeks shows the sagacity of the preSi-
dent in urging his friends III the late con-
gresS to avert an extra session at all hazards.
This now gives him ample time TO organize
the personnel Of his administration with
CARE AND DELIBERATION.
''There seems to be some difference of
opinion as to the course being pursued"
That is natural. l have been in politics
many years and l never knew time when
everybody could be satisfied. The presi
dent has taken position which some per-
sons choose TO regard as novel in the way OF
selecting men for office, but the president

Ure in all the old-time doctrines Of the
Democratic administration, and that the
people are with Us. 1t is a delicate subject
for me to talk about the administration, as

you will find this declaration correct when
we come TO an election. That is always
the best test"
When reference was made to the Indian
apolis pOstmastership, the president lit
up his fnely-cut features with one of his
most diplomatic and suggestive smiles and
