According TO a dispatch from Washing
ton, some members of the House Of Repre-
sontatives are obiccting strenuously to the
course being followed by President Roose-
welt of bestowing Federal patronage OK
clusivoly upon the Senators. The Rep
resentatives hold chat they have interests
Of stake and that their influence should
not be entirely ignored.
The issue is said to have eliminated in
an open protest by Representative Over
street Of Indiana one of the leading Re
publican members of the House and sec
Rotary Of the Congressional Campaign
Committee. lnIndianapolisit has always
been understood that the Senator should
appoint the postmaster, and that in return
for this the Representative should name
the surveyor Of the port. When Mr.. Over
street, in accordance with this ancient
modus vivondi. recommended Frank 3.
stanlhcker for the place, he was told that
Mr. Bovcndgc had recommended man
named Rothschilds, and that the Presi-
dent had promised 70 appoint him. This
deprived Diversified Of the only patron
age he had, and added Il to Bevoridge's
already long string He Issued q public
statement on the subject recounting the
mcis without comment, except to mention
that the appointment was the "only one
remaining to him, and that Beveridge
chad been treated generously in Federal
appointments

Detroit, also has a grievance. He had a
iavonte for tho Detroit postofiice, but

been accorded TO the Representative, and
