If Senator Plat has as much
trouble with President Roosevelt
as some Of the leaders Of the Rspub.
lican party 10 Delaware have had,
then there will be plenty Of trouble
ahead for the President. Presi.
dent Roosevelt has thus tar made
but one appointment and he is ex.
pected to make the second one any
time this week. The manner in
which the President Intends to
make his appointments in this
State is beginning tostlr up things.
politically speaking, to white
heat. There is one thing certain
only one mau can be appointed, aud
no matter who that one man may
be there will he some harsh ,hings
sand about the appointment. Still
one man will be made happy and
draw the salary attached to the OF.
flee and what need he care. Par.
ties are made up Of men. the many
do the voting. the few hold all OF
the otfites. 1t has always been
thus and will always continue I'M
til the end of time. Have you ever
stopped and looked back at the men
who have been identified with po-
lidcal matters in this city for the
past thirty wears! How few Of
these men are prominently before
the people today. They have one

passed out OF notice and new men
have taken their places in the or

Of these old timers retired IRON pol.

more than cheap nctoriety Tor the
time being. Some OF these men
even owned newspapers to help
them aloog politically. John O'Byrne
