1t is Personal Appointment.
The protest Of Senators Platt and Depew
against the appointment of Col. William c.
Sanger as assistant secretary of war will
probably not be needed by the President If
Secretary Root insists on the place for Col
sanger. The opinion is growing among
cabinet officers that the appointments of
assistant secretaries, or part of them at
least, are largely personal with the heads
of the departments, just as cabinet appoint
ments are recognized as the personal ap-
pointments of the President. No senator
would attempt to interfere with the Presf-
dents choice of a cabinet officer, and the
President has come to sympathize to some
extent Win MS CABINET officers in their con-
tentfons regarding their assistants Espe-
cially Is this true in the matter of an as
sistant who is regarded as the closest to
the cabinet officer in the transaction Of his
work. Where there three or four as
sistants the cabinet officer could probably
name one or two without question from
the President, while the other places would
go to the politicians.
There are signs that the friction which
has been engendered between Secretary
Root and Senator Platt over the announced
determination Of the former to secure the
appointment Of Col. Sanger, regardless of
Mr.. Platt's objection, may soon be remov-
ed. Mr.. Platt, who is now in New York
has made an appointment for a talk with
the President on the subject as soon as the
former returns to Washington, and mean
while. 1t is understood that Mr. Root will
withhold his action in the premises, the in
timation being thrown out that the mis-
understanding can be speedily composed
upon free exchange of views.
