MISsOURIANs AFTER OFFICE.
Senator Warner Unhappy Because His
Recommendation Are Unlleeded.

WAsHlNGT Jan. l2.-1here Is a large
delegation Of Missouri Republicans in Wash
ington, and privately they are willing to bet
that the State will go Democratic in the next
Congress elections. The Missouri Repub-
licans were patted on the back when the
polls were closed last November, and Repuh-
lican party leaders all over the country gave
an eyultant shout when they were told that
that rock ribbed Democratic strong ghold
had cast off from its ancient political moor
ings. Then it was that n thousand or more
Mssourians went Office seeking.
Senator Warner, the first Republican to
come to the upper house of Congress from
Missouri since reconstruction days, Is an
unhappy man. He has gone up against the
rule Of the Admnis rat ion hat postmas,ers
shall be appointed on basis of merit and
not because of political influence or pull
In the case of the post mastership at Coum-
bia. Mo-, Senator Warner made a gallant
fight. Nearly every Republican polit lcian
Senator's candidate. who was Edward A.
Remley. Rut Remley was turned down
and Samuel H Elkins, brother of Senator
Ekins of West Virginia, was named for the
third time.
Senator Warner is holding the bag mos,
Of the criticism for the outcome in the
Columbia postmastership contest being lev
elled at him. To add to the new Senator's
misery he has been informed hat his recon-
mcndations in a half dozen other cases
will not be followed. Al Marysvllc, Ottawa
county, the people are up in arms. The
majority of the citizens In that city and
county threaten that il certain man is not
made postmaster Ottawa county will secedN
from the Union.
1t was at Marysville that boycott on the
Federal Government was successful few
years ago. The people there wanted new
pension examining board, but the Commis,
soner Of Pensions refused to oust the old
board. A boycott on the incumbeuts was
begun and finally the Commissioner Of PEN
sions had to give in. Senator Warner is
planning to remain away from Missouri for
an indefinite period.
