REPUBLICAN FACTIONS IN
STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY.
Continued From Page One.

tary Hitchcock, who Is not in sympathy
with the Missouri Republican organization,
has no knowledge Of political affairs there
and is prompted only by jealousy. When
first appointed he appointed 7. ]. Atkins ref
cree for the Interior Department for all ap-
pointments there. The Pension Board IN
Missouri were appointed by Commissioner
Evans. under Secretary Bliss. and these ap-
pointees were all right. But Atkins removed
these men. appointed by Bliss. and put in
men without regard to fitness.
Hitchcock never attended a Republican
State Convention in his life, and is abso-
lutely a stranger to 95 per cent of the Re-
publicans in Missouri.
I'VE feel that IL Missouri is to be repre-
sented In the Cabinet a man of broad
and liberal ideas should be selected to I'LL
the position. one who is familiar with the
political situation in Missouri and big
enough to fill the requirements. Hitchcock's
conduct has been such as to arouse the re-
sentiment OF the national leaders, and the
Republicans In Missouri feel he has no
right to represent them in the distribution
OF patronage.
'Kerens and his friends are not seeking
the appointment Of any one. They hold that
where a man has been efficient he should
lie retained They are standing on the rec
ords that have been made by their ap-
pointees. They are not asking for the ap-
pcfntment of inefficient men,
THE chairman Of the State Committee
has sought to establish an Office brokerage
business, and levied tribute on the party
under the guise OF sustaining committee
headquarters, the tribute beirg used to pay
the expenses of the crusade that he had
inaugurated against Mr.. Kerens. Mr.. Ker-
ems is universally respected by the Repub-
hcans.

to organize an opposition to his reelection

working drawings OF the Mines and Metal
lurgy building. of which Van Brunt & Howe
of Kansas City, are the architects. To
Van Brunt & Howe belong the credit OF
having distanced their brother architects
of the commission In getting their drawing
into the hands of the Director Of Works
ahead of all other members of the Archi-
tectural Board. The drawings which have
just been received are four in number.
They include the first floor plan of the
structure. the ground plan on a large scale
of the 4l6-foot high tower which forms a
feature of this edifice. the gallery floor plan
and a section of the building embodying
suggestions for roof trusses, and setting
forth the lighting arrangements. Elevations
of the structure showing the decorative
features are expected from the architects
within a short time.
MONSTER DRAWINGS
OF BUILDING PLANS.
These drawings enable Chief Building
Engineer Markmann to begin his work of
calculating weights and stresses and of de-
vising methods of taking care Of them The
drawings are monsters-seven feet by five
feet. The scale is sixteen feet to the inch
They are blue print reproductions of trac-
ings. II Is proposed in the later drawings
TO substitute for the blueprint method of
reproducing Exposition buildings a hecto-
graph process which is independent of the
action of the light. This method requires
the use of special ink, which has been
given to the architects by the Department
OF Works.
The suggestions OF Van Brunt & Howe
for taking UP the roof contemplates three
gigantic series of arched trussess, two OF
seventy-ive feet spans and one OF los feet
span. These spans may be built of timber
even though the lower chord Is curved or
arched, says Director of Works Taylor, the
practice in these cases being to build up
