Santa Fe Officials Looking About
For a Man.
HE MAY BE SIMPSON.
Advertising Manager Is In Line

Said That OEertures Have Been
Made to Geo. De Haven.

Chicago, July 16.-Santa F'e officials
are casting about for man TO fill the
vacancy in the office of assistant gen
eraI passenger and ticket agent made
vacant by the death of C A Higgins
They realize that it viii be hard TO ind
a successor to a man 50 well qualified
for his work as was Mr. Higgins He
was a splendid advertising man, with a
good knowledge OF passenger business. a
combination as rare as it is valuable In
all probability the choice will fall upon
w H. Simpson. who acted as assistant
to Mr. Higgins for several years and
who is now temporarily in charge OF ad-
vertising He IS familiar with the work
Mr. Higgins had mapped out before his
fatal illness. and he knows the policy
of the Santa Fe better than any man
now in view.
It has been suggested in this connec-
ton that overtures have been made to
George De Haven. who perhaps stands
at the head of good railway advertising
in America. Mr.. De Haven is at present
engaged in newspaper work, and if he
can be induced to abandon it he may
become an assistant general passenger
agent of the Santa F'e.

Bridgeport, Conn, July 16.-Melbert
E Carey of RidgefeId, chairman of
the Democratic state central committee
and leader of the gold Democratic forces
Of this state, is out for Bryan and
Stevenson He said:
The gold standard law passed by
Republican congress with the assistance
of the gold Democrats has settled that
question for at least six years and
probably forever. Imperialism was the
paramount issue of the campaign before
the Democratic convention so declared,
and It will remain the chief issue in
spite OF all the attempts of party man
ayers or interested statesmen to befog
the situation with buga bOos, dead issues
or personal attacks.
Mr. Bryan is the leading exponent
of the issue and if he is elected there
will be no Porto Rican somersault to
disgrace his administration, no attempt
to subvert the constitution and estab-
lish an empire"
Mr.. Carey, who is a member of the
Reform club of New York, is a close
friend of E C Benedict and Grover

FOR HEATH'S PLACE.
Joseph Bristow Has Been Mentioned
as a Probability.

Washington, July 16.-It IS possible
the contest over the postoffice at Indian
apolis will find solution in the APP
pointment of the successor to the first
assistant postmaster general. Mr..
Heath
The contest arose from the fact that
Senator Fairbanks wants his candidate,
Maginnis, appointed postmaster while
Senator Beveridge opposes the appoint
ment on the ground that he was not
consulted until after the selection had
been made. 1t happens that Mr..
Beveridge is a strong friend Of George
Allen, chief clerk of the first assistant
postmaster general, and it is believed
that if Allen were given Mr. Heath's
place, Mr.. Beverage would not object
to Mr. Fairbanks candidate being given
the Indianapolis place. Mr.. Allen is
now abroad on his vacation, but he will
soon return He came from Indiana to
take the place he now holds in the post
