he would not reappoint Mr.. Elliott, the
present district attorney. and there the
matter rests. Whether A. c. Bernstzki of
Salem, who is the choice of Hittredge, will
be appointed is a moot question. but until
| an appointment Is made. Mr.. Elliott. who
is CANDLES choice for reappointment, will
continue in Office unless he should be sum-
marily dismissed. and there Is no reason TO
expect that.
1t is asserted by Senator Gamble and his
friends tonight that the conference be-
tween the president. Senator Kittredge and
himself today relative to federal patronage
in South Dakota was wholly satisfactory
to Senator Gamble. AS to the division OF
patronage, on account OF differences in the
delegation, there seemed to be no other
| course to pursue than to follow the ordi-
nary rule that prevails in other states, TO
allow the congressman to decide postoffice
| matters and the general patronage coming
to the state to be decided by the senators.
From a source absolutely reliable it is
| learned that all federal appointments out
side of postoffices will he held up by the
president until there is agreement be-
| tween the two senator's. This means that
Elliott will hold his position for inden-
mite period.
! Wider and wider grows the breach be-
\ tween these two factions and II will not be
| settled until June when the state conven-
| ton will decide who shall succeed Senator
| Gamble, whether himself or Congressman I
