That the Man Who Aspires Would DO
Well to Paste in His Hat.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The following has
been issued by the president for pubica-
tion, dated Executive Mansion, May s."
at has become apparent after two months
experience that the rules heretofore pro-
mulgated regulating interviews with the
president have wholly failed in their opera
ton. The time which under those rules
was set apart for the reception of senators
and representatives has been almost en-
tirely spent in listening to applications for
office which have been bewildering in vol
ume, perpIexing and eXhausting in their
iteration, and impossible of remembrance.
Too Much for Human Endurance.
"A due regard for public duty-whick
must be neglected if present conditions
continue-and an observance of the limita-
tions placed upon human endurance oblige
m to decline from and after this date all
personal interviews with those seeking APP
pointment TO office except as ], on my
own motion, may especially invite them.
The same considerations make it impossi-
bic for me to receive those who merely de-
sire to pay Their respects, except on the
days and during the hours especially de-
signed for that purpose.
Request to Statesmen
81 earnestly request senators and repre-
sentatives to aid me in securing for them
uninterrupted interviews by declining to
introduce their constituents and friends
when visiting the executive mansion dur
ing the hours designated for their recep-
ton. Applicants for office will only pre-
judice their prospects by repeated impor-
tunity and by remaining at Washington 10

vor of putting new men and young men in
these party places and thus bringing
young blood to the front and new elements
into the party. We are going to have a
strong and sDlendid convention at Louis
