Cincinnati, Feb. 27.-More than one.

departments of surrounding towns
were constantly turning dozens of
streams on the blaze. There are q
score or more of streams still pour

The election is regarded here as an

of the Regular Republicans to agree

President Roosevelt says that his
appointments speak for themselves
and that he does not need to apologize
for any Of them, but rather should
feel that he has the right to claim the
support of all good citizens who desire
high standard of federal service and
fair dealing, with the South. He has
sought to consider the feelings of the
people in each locality in making ap-
pointments as long as that feeling did
not conflict with principle, and he has
often gone to the opposition party in
the South when not satisfied with
what his own party offered. In re-
gard to appointments Of negroes, the
president said:
II could not treat mere color as a
permanent bar to holding office, any
more than could 80 treat creed or
birthplace, always provided that In
other respects the applicant or incum-
