Wm. 2. Luck Appointed Appraiser.


The vacancy in the Office OF APP
praiser of customs for the port OF New
Orleans resulting from the death of
Gen. A. S. Badger was filed on June
II by the appointment of VIM. F.
Luck, a prominent New Orleans Re-
publican and well-known business
man. President Roosevelt is said to
have expressed a disinclination to
nominat Louis P. Bryant, whose
recommend alton by the Republican
executive committee for the vacant APP
praisership was mentioned and COM
mended in these columns several
weeks ago, the presumed ground OF
the presidents objection being the OPP
position which MIR. Bryant's name
would be almost certain to encounter
in the senate because OF language used
by him in public utterances rejecting
severely upon several of the members
of that august body, both Democrats
and Republicans. Having visited the
president and received a candid state
ment Of the reasons why his appoint-
ment was deemed injudicious, Mr..
Bryant promptly Withdrew his candi-
dacy, whereupon Chairman B. B. Will
liams and National Committeeman
Pearl Wight sent in the name Of Mr..
Luck, who was promptly appointed.
The new appraiser, who took the
oath and assumed the duties of his Of
fee last week, is a native Of Canada,
where he was born in 1853. He came
south in 1875 and engaged in the lum-
Der business, filling the position OF
distributing agent for q number Of
mills in Texas. He settled in New
Orleans in 1883, continuing the lum-
Der business for two years and then
going into the machinery line, first
with the G. S. Burt Co., then for three
years as manager OF the machinery
department of A. Baldwin & Co., and
latterIy as southern representative of
the Erie City Iron Works of Erie, Pa,
the e. K. Porter Company OF Pitts
burg and the George L. Squier Com
pany of Buffalo. AS a consulting
engineer and distributing agent for
sugar factory and sawmill machinery,
ne is well-known throughout the sugar
and lumber producing regions of the
south, and enjoys the esteem and con-
fdence of all with whom he has had
dealings.
In politics MIR. Luck is and always
has been a Republican, never having
voted other than a Republican ticket.
Though taking an active part in poll
tics, he was never before an applicant
for public Office, and only became SO
ia this instance under the express con-
dition that his name was not to be
used in opposition to that Of his
friend, Mr.. Bryant. Mr.. Luck was a
delegate to the last national Repub-
lican convention as Chicago, was
chairman Of the convention that NOM
mated the Republican city ticket IN
New Orleans last year and was the
candidate for city engineer on that
ticket. He is a member of the govern
ing board OF the Louisiana Repub-
lican Club, member of the Chess,
Checkers and Whist Club, the Board
Of Trade and the Progressive Union.
Capable, courteous and genial, APP
praiser Luck is sure to prove an eff
eient and popular officer, and his
appointment is acceptable TO the gen.
eral public and creditable alike to
President Roosevelt and the Repub-
lican party.
