THE CHAMBERS OVERLOOKED,
Bob Goes 20 Albany am, Puts in Their
Claim FOR Patronage.

albany, Dec. 2ss-Down in Duchess
county il IN taken as an accepted fact that
when one of the lers starts out for
anything he il going to get it. Now, in
distributing the plums in the State Offices
which will have Democratic heads, some
of the newly elected officials had over
looked the existence of the Chsnlers OF
Duchess. But IL they overlooked the
CHAMBERS, the CHAMBERS didn't overlook
them. Bob" known in polite society as
Robert W.. Chanler, has been straining
his eyes Of late reading the papers TO dis
cover whether any one of the new Demo-
cratic State officers had taken o~ognizance
of the fact that Duchess county was on
the map. Fearing he might go blind if he
continued that pursuit he decided to go to
the fountainhead of patronage. Patronage
is as dear to his heart as to any OF poll
ticisu, and any strong, rock ribbed Re
publican county that elects a Democratic
Sheriff (which is Bob, end gives a plurality
TO a Democratic candidate for Lleutenant-
Governor and elects a Democratic Assem-
blyman he believes shouldn't be overlooked.
sheriff elect and former Assemblyman
Bob" Chanler arrived here last n ight with
his appetite 0or patronage thor ouRhly
aroused. He was not gong back to
Duchess county until he had secured what

who had TO be placed and he was going to
find out why they hadn't been taken care
of. He return ed 10 Poughkeepsie this
afternoon with his face wreathed in smiles.
Sheriff elect and former Assemblyman
Bob" went direct TO the home of Comp
troller-elect Glynn, and there he a
known his demands. just what he said to
Mr.. Glynn neither will repeat, but he said
that the county Of Duchess is going 10 be
we'll taken care of In the State Comptroller's
Office. Discussing the appointments OF
Mr.. Glynn he made this observation
Il am not critcising his selections, and l
suppose it is but just that he has given TO
'Packy' McCabe six Offices, for McCabe
has been existing on lean plokmgs here
for some time past, but l don't think IT
was wise for him TO recognize McCarren.
You know McCarren isn't in good standing
now, and Glynn's taking notice Of him will
have a bad effect"
Bob's methods OF winning the affections
of the rural voters are most versatile. Four
years ago Il was a prize bull, a baseball
elect him to the State Assembly. This past
wear he had a baseball nine, the prize bull,
the band, but he added TO il a pacing
stallion, Tennessee Pointer, n then gave
a great clambske that will be the talk OF the
natives until the next one comes on. But
he " going TO add q move feature to the pro-
Rramme TO provide amusement for the
farmers and others in Duchess county.
Next spring he ia going to build a half mile
track to let the farmers try out the colts
they are going TO get by Tennessee Pointer.
Butt he got the patronage he was after n
that il something he is proud of. AS the
leader OF an Assemblyman he proposes do
ing something in the interests OF mankind.
I'm going TO have my Assemblyman in
troduce a bill limiting the hours hat the
towermen along railroads shall work. Vow
the damned railroads compel them 10 work
ten hours a night and that's too long for a
man to work at night, They go to sleep on
railroad accidents. I'm going to nave the
damned railroads divide their men up into
three shifts. But first I'm going to submit
the bill to the labor unions TO pre- IL they like
il. Railroads shouldn't work their men
how they'll yell il they get soaked that
way"
