ALA, APPOINTMENTS HAVE BEEN LIBERAL MT. Roosevelt Has Honored
 Three Democrats TWO NEGROES APPOINTED  Both of These Were First Named By President Mckinley and Reap pointed By Roosevelt-some-
 thing of Ills Policy.
TWO NEGROES APPOINTED

says that the President sees no reason for the south's animosity towards his ad- ministration if such feelings are guided by his appointments in this section.
 With this statement in view a list of Mir. Roosevelt's appointments in Ala bama has been secured and leading dem ocrats are free to admit that a spirit of liberallty has prevailed In this immediate section.
 In Alabama MT. Roosevelt has appoint ed three democrats to offices of dignity and importance He has also appointed two negroes to offices of less importance. These negroes were formerly appointed by President Mckinley and re-appointed by Roosevelt
 The democrats appointed are Thomas G. Jones' judge of the United States dis trict court; Thomas R. Roulhac, district attorney for the northern district of Ala bama, and osceola Kyle, United States | judge of the Panama canal zone. Judge Kyle is the only United States judge in Panama. Hunter Johnson, young law yer of Tuskegee and democrat, has l Judge Kyle and J. Taylor Scott has been selected as clerk of the court but as yet has not accepted the position.
 Mckinley appointed No Democrats.
 During Mir. McKinleys administration not a democrat was appointed to high office in the state of Alabama.
 The negroes appointed by MT Mckinley and later reappointed by MT Roosevelt are Nathan Alexander, receiver of public moneys at Montgomery, and H. V. Cashin, receiver of public moneys at Huntsville.
 Another interesting fact brought out by MT. Roosevelts supporters in Ala bama and corroborated by glance through the list of appointments, is that he has at all times sought to appoint southern men to southern offices. In this respect no other republican president has cut as close to the mark as has MT Roosevelt.
 In all of his Alabama appointments MT. Roosevelt has appointed but three north ern men. They are Robert Barker, reg ister of the land office at Montgomery; C.. w. Buckley, postmaster at Montgom- cry, and D. N. Cooper, United States marshal at Birmingham.

 Nearly All southerners.
 Nearly all of the above appointees are either Confederate veterans or sons of Confederate veterans. and Alabama re- publicans claim that in his appointments MT. Roosevelt has carried out his policy of appointing southern men to southern | offices.
 Both MT. Thompson and Mir Scott, the referees, are Alabamians and sons of Confederate veterans. The president has relied on their judgment absolutely, espe- clally in minor appointments. In the ap- pointment of postmasters they have ap- parently endeavored to get the wishes of a majority of the citizens of town before making a recommendation. Postoffice Changes.
