out a policy for his administration to follow
respecting civil service reform and in asldi-
ton to what he had to say on the subject in
his inaugural address the following points
from an interview had with him by a party
of congressman who called upon him are sig
nificant and Interesting. The visitors had
presented the claims of certain individuals of
their choice for appointments: ~
II have said The president, determined
TO live up to the plank relating thereto in the
Republican national platform and shall select
men to fl the offices from among the Repub-
hcans of the territories themselves, where fit
persons may be found In Alaska there are
no party organizations and no public press,
which makes it necessary that the governor
Of that territory should be man of such high
character as not to need such supervision as
officials in other territories are subjected to
because of the existence OF political parties
and the printing of newspapers. / shall en-
deavor for this particular office to find man
who viii not need any such spur to do his
duty. -
