w.su,SoroS. Oct 3.-The President has
made radical change In the matter OF Fed
eral APPOINTMENTS. He PROPOSES hereafter to
accent the recon inc ndations made by the
heads OF departments to which tho appoint
ments relate. instead OF undertaking to pass
personally on the merits OF the applicants.
In this he adopts the policy OF President Har-
rison and nearly all OF his predecessors In
the White House.
Senators and Representatives IN congress
and politicians generally have been informed
OF the new order OF things. and now. instead
OF making personal appeals to the President.
they direct their best energies TO securing tho
endorsement Of the members OF the Cabinet.

and gives the President more time to devote
