MANY ARE AFTER THE JOBS
TACOMA PUTS FORTH MANY AP-
PLiCANTS FOR FEDERAL
POSITIONS.
Politicians Looking Forward to Good
Berths If the Foster Bill
Is Passed.

Candidates for federal judge and for
United States marshal in the proposed
new district provided for by the Fos-
ter bill have not been slow in an
nouncing themselves. Tacoma being
Senator Fosters home town it is ap
parently taken for granted by the can
didates and their friends that Ia
comans will capture both plums. The
fact that the senatorial fight is just
ahead and that the attempted ped
ding of federal patronage in a bid for
support will probably be one of the
means adopted by the Foster people
to gather in legislative recruits is
arousing tn ekeenest interest there in
the disposal of the offices the creation
of the new district will make room for.
Chief among the candidates for fed
eral Judge providing the district is
made, are Superior Judge w. O. Chap
man. United States Commissioner w.
A. Worden and Attorney r. G. Hud-
son. Judge Chapman being the som
in-law of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon,
his friends believe he will have some
help from outside the state when he
goes into the fight. Attorney Hudson
is said to have the Pierce County Bar
Association behind him. He is also
strong with the business element of
the city, and has a standing in politi-
cal circles. The friends of Commits
sioner Worden assert he will have
loyal supporters among politicians of
national reputation in the east.
In the matter of the marshalship
candidates talked of are Senator Lin
coin Davis, F. L. Crosby. chief deputy
marshal under Marshal Hopkins;
Thomas Morris, deputy marshal, and
Sheriff A. J. Denholm. 1t is conceded
that Senator Davis can get the ap-
pointment if he wants it. There is
runor that he will go back to Alaska
Immediately following the adjourn
ment of the legislature, and would not
accept the office. His position as SEN
ator is admittedly strongly in his
favor, however, providing he desires
to exert pull Sheriff Denholm de-
nies that he is entering the fight SER
iously. Nevertheless he is looked upon
as a receptive candidate, and it is not
unlikely that if the present district is
segregated as proposed, he will make
a hard fight. Crosby and Morris each
have their particular pulls. Morris is
stronger with the political element of
the county, but Crosby will rank first
of the two. if it comes to a showdown
of strength between them in depart
ment circles.
