took place when the appointments were

President Bruce tried to have Land
| Commissioners Laird also confirmed, but
Senator Talbot, Of Montgomery, ohiec-
| ted strenuOusly Mr. Bruce attention
was called TO the statement that be had
SAID he would not vote for any Inde-
pendent democrat who had voted the re-
publican ticket to get an Office. 1t was
| mtimated that Mr.. Laird had been gull
| ty OF such an 0ffense. Mr.. Bruce denied
that he had said such a thing, but sever
al democratic Senators said that they
heard HIM say so in their conference.
Mr.. Talbot gained his point, being
sustained in his motion to refer Mr..
| Laird Is nomination by almost the whole
| Senate. Mr.. Bruce's action WAS regard
| ed as very indiscreet, and hurt Mr.. Laird
more than it helped him. There Is dan
ger now of his being turned down. as
several republican Senators think that
they have good enough men in their own
party for the place. A democratic Sen

with Laird is to confirm him. Let him
go over to the republicans if he wishes. "
