DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS
EX-SENATOR ]. Il. JONES SAYS
OUTLOOK IS PROMISING.
No Disaffection in the Ranks-Beheves
Bryan and Hearst Are Both
Loyalty Supporting Parker.

Ex-senator James X. loses. former chair
man of the democratic naaonal committee,
was in town little while today. Mr.. Jones
is taking an active interest in the demo-
cratic campaign and returns tonight to New
York city.
'The outlook for democratic success is
highly promising" said Mr.. Jones to a Star
reporter today, "and constantly improving.
1 have recently been in correspondence with
democrats in many sections of the country
with whom I have had political relations
in the past and have addressed my letters
principally to men affiliated with what is
commonly called the Bryan interest. The
object of the correspondence was to deter
mine the truth of the statement SO often
repeated that there is disaffection among
democrats with the national ticket.
No Disaffection Among Democrats.
Answers to my letters have been coming
in and 1 am prepared to say that there are
no evidences whatever of disaffectiOn
among democrats, but on the contrary, the
most enthusiastic and harmonious support
of the ticket.
Il am personally sure that Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Hearst are Loyalty supporting Judge
Parker and urging their friends to do
likewise. The opposition can not count
upon democratic disanection in these
sources.
II am sure the democrats will carry New
York on the state ticket and believe Judge
Parker will have New Yorks electoral vote
The reports from Indiana are more en-
couragng than l expected earlier in the
campaign and are very favorable. The
same may be said of Connecticut, and on

w1scoNs1N's VOTE.
The Republican National Ticket Was
Never Imperiled.

Mr.. Florence E. Sullivan, correspondent
Of the Chicago Chronicle, has returned to
town after a trip through Wisconsin, in
the course of which he Thoroughly in
vestigated the political situation in that
state. To a Star reporter this afternoon
Mr.. Sullivan said:
''The result in Wisconsin, so far as the
republican national ticket is concerned,
was never imperiled by the feud between
the republican factions. While the re-
fusal of the supreme court to take juris-
diction in the ballot controversy, thereby
giving La Toilette first place on the Off
cial ballot, greatly sinnplifies the situa-
tion from the standpoint of the managers
of the national campaign. any other de-
cision would have been equally satisfac-
tory.
"The President simply could not lose
the state. Aside from the consideration
that the farmer and by*n ness man Of Wis
consin are enjoying era of unprece-
dented prosperity, WYNN always operates
to the advantage of the party in power,
the people regard the President with feel
ings akin to affection for his course in
the anthracite coal strike two years ago.
They were threatened by a great ca
lamity through the continuance of that
strike, and they will not forget that the
President, by his firnaness and decision,
averted consequences which they do not
like to contemplate even now. One of the
remarkable aspects OF the campaign is
the complete loyalty Of all classes of vot-
ers to Roosevelt.
1T Is not improbable that he will carry
the state by. a larger majority than Nc
Kinley received four years ago. Parker
Is hardly known to theT peopIe. and the
democratic committee has taken few
steps to familiarize them with the demo-
cratic candidate for President. The truth

ment informed the President several days
ago that the section of the law referring to
temporary appointments being for thirty
days only applied during a session of the
Senate and not while the Senate was IN
recess. in this case The law. the Presi-
dent was told. contemplated the necessity
of permanent appointment within thirty
days while the Senate was in session. S3na-
tor Knox of Pennsylvania, until recently
Attorney General, so informed the Pre<i-
dent, along with others. Therefore. the
vacancy in the department could have re-
manned untitled for whatever time the
President desired and Mr.. Wynne could
have continued as acting head of the de-
partment, although holding the office of
first assistant postmaster general.
The probability is that the PresidenI VIII
not make an appointment of a first assist
ant postmaster general and will leave the
duties of the office to be looked after by
Mr.. Wynne, who will again fill the office
upon the entrance of Mr.. Cortei1 GA as head
of the department.
Mr. Wynne will take the oath of office
so as to enter upon the duties OF the ofhce
without delay. He will attend tine inst
cabinet meeting at the White House to-
morrow.
BY appointment Mr.. Wynne called at the
White House at 30 pm. He then received
from the President himself formal notitica-
ton of his appointment as Postmaster Cen
eral. He was guest of the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt at luncheon.
Suggested by Senator Platt.
Mr. Wynne was appointed first assistant
postmaster general on April H. 1902. For
nearly a quarter of a century he had been
a Washington newspaper correspondent,
serving at various times some of the most
important newspapers in the country. At
the time of his appointment he was the
Washington correspondent of the New York
Press. His appointment as first assistant
was suggested and practically decided upon
at a dinner given by the late Senator Mar
Gus A Hanna to the members of the Grid
iron Club. Postmaster General Payne and
Senator Orville II. Platt of Connecticut
were discussing the matter OF the appoint
ment during the dinner. Mr.. Payne asked
Senator Platt whether he had any sugges-
tions to make on the subject.
'I think" the senator replied, that you
ought to select some first-class newspaper
man for that position-a man who Is thor
oughly honest and trustworthy, who will
give an efficient administration to the Of
fee"
They cast about the banquet room for
such a man. Senator Platt said finally:
whats the matter with the man sitting
at the right of Hanna?''
The man was Mr.. Wynne who at that
time was president of the Gridiron Club
His appointment was suggested to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He approved heartily of
the suggestion, sent for Mr.. Wynne and
rendered to him the Office.
Started the Investigation.

Mr., WYNNE APPOIN TED
Named as Postmaster General
by President.
CONFIDENCE IN HIM
HIS RECORD AS FIRST ASSIST
ANT SATISFACTORY.
Fourth Newspaper Man to Head the
Department - Sketch of His Ca
reer-Many Congratulations.

Formal announcement was made early
this morning at the White House of the ap-
pontment by the President of Robert. j.
Wynne as Postmaster General to succeed
the late Henry c. Payne.
The announcement was not unexpected,
as 1t was known to have been under con-
sideration by the President since Friday.
Mr.. Wynne himself has probably been
aware for several days of the honor to be
conferred upon him.
Although the appointment is temporary
in its nature, Mr. Wynne will serve as Post
master General for two or three months,
and possibly six months or more. 1t is well
understood that George B. Cortelyou is to
be Postmaster General in the event of the
election of President Roosevelt AS the
election Is not doubted by any one con-
nected with the administration, all arrange
mems have been made with view to Mr.
Cortelyou entering the cabinet within rea-
sonably short time, and remaining there as
Postmaster General for an indefinite period.
1t is believed however, that he will not
care to begin the duties of the office before
the 1st of January, as he will desire rest
after the November election. 1t is not i'm
probable that the President will urge him
to go to Europe for long rest, and that
he will not be prepared to take up the du-
ties of the office until the new administra-
ton comes in, March 4 next Should this
prove probable Mr.. Wynne may be Post
master General for the next five or six
months.
Confidence in Mr.. Wynne.
The President has made the appointment
of Mr.. Wynne for numerous reasons. The
first one was that he desired a competent
head to the department to keep watch over
the immense business. The next was that

Wynne and his ability to run the depart
ment with complete satisfaction. The third
was that he wished to compliment Mr..
Wynne upon his able administration Of the
office of first assistant postmaster general
and knew no better way to do SO.
So far as the law was concerned there
was no necessity to make appointment
at this time. Legal officials of the govern
