DEADLOCK WILL Be AVERTEN

Washington. D. c., Aug 1s-President
Roosevelt has decided 10 make a depar-
ture from his usual policy and to allow
Col C. NJ. Leitch. OF Wilmington. Del,

ton Council. though ne is a stamp deputy
collector in the Internal Revenue Bureau.
The Presidents decision viii insure Re-
publican control OF Wilmington Council,
and VIII incidentally, allow the negro
Councilman. postles. to retain the ball
ance of power.
Leitch was elected last June. Should he
have been required to resign from the City
Council the action would leave that body
evenly diyided politically with six Re
publlcans and six Democrats. Under the
terms Of the city's charter no general
election for Councilmen can be held fol
two years. but provision IS made for elec.
tions by the Council itself to nh vacan.
cles
That body being evenly divided, IL il
regarded as highly probable that nc
choice could be made with the result that
the Council would be in a deadlock on this
and other important matters for two
years especially since Councilman Posties
colored. recently bolted the Republican
caucus and made q deal with the Demo.
Gratis, whereby he was able TO dictate O
number OF city appointments.
In the case Of Collector McCoach. Of
Philadelphia. that official was Obliged 4,

appointed 10 his Federal position But IT
the Mccoach case there was no danger OF
the Republicans losing control of the Cit,
Council. This distinction was impressed OF
Secretary Shaw and the President by Sen
ator Alice and other Delaware Republi
can leaders.
