PAYNE Has pREPAREp TIE WAY,

Wherever the President goes next
fall, when he Swings around the, cir
cle,' he Will meet friends. Not sim,
ply fellow citizens who are glad to
meet the President and shake hands
With him, but the kind of friends a
Candidate for a political nomination
likes to meet. 1t was said, when Mr..
Payne was appointed Postmaster Cen
eral, that he would devote good deal
of his time to paving the way for Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination for President.
A glance at the appointments made
by him during the recent session of
Congress shows that this statement
was about right He appointed 2,611
postmasters of the presidential class.
OF this number 2,573 were confirmed.
This is pretty nearly half of the en-
tire number of presidential postmas-
tiers.
Those who are in doubt whether Mr..
Roosevelt is working to succeed him
self will have their doubts removed
by observing few facts like the fore
going. 1t is well known that Mr..
ticians of the country. 1t is a safe
statement that every one of the post
masters he has appointed is a local
political leader of more or less influ~
ence. OF course Mr.. Payne did not say
to these appointees that they were ex-
pected to whoop up delegations for
Mr.. Roosevelt, but he has made them
understand that evidence of their work
must be seen in the next Republican
national convention.
1t is probable also that Mr.. Payne
is doing a good deal of work of a po-
litical nature among fourth class post
masters. OF course postmasters of this
class have comparatively little infu-
ence, but they have some, and doubt
less they have been notified in a round
about way that they are expected to
use it to bring about the nomination
of the man in the White House. If
public offices were not political jobs
how very much better the public SER
vice would be.
