Via the Sunday news from Washington
it is learned that Congressman Loudeuslager
is q candidate for the position Of Commits
siener Of Pensions, 70 succeed II. Clay
Evans This position would give Mr..
Loudenslager's undoubted talent as a pro-
nloser richer field for activity than his
present position of Chairman Of the Con-
gressional Committee on Persio1s S, hence it
ID not at all unlikely that he is afteri If
MIR. Mckinley is fully informed as to
NJ LoadensIager's ability in certain direc-
tons, Harry's candidacy would rest on a
pretty substantial basis. In justice to the
ability of the new applicant, the appro-
1riations for pensions should be held until
Mr.. Evans successor is slated, because il
would be gross injustice to our district to
expect our Congressman to maintain his
reputation as q successful promoter on the
measIey appropriation Of sll5, 100000 now
proposed for pensions.
