OF the whole thing. but all the facts have
not been made pubic. Mr.. Saunders has
Deen collector for nearly ten years. and

ever before.

CATION Of that state for the appointmen,
of United States attorney. Timothv
Burke has been the attorney for A number
OF years, but his conduct of his office was
not satisfactory to the Interior Depart
ment The delegation recently named r.
NJ. Ausherman for the attorneyship. but

delegation, and he will probably be APP
pointed.
Internal Revenue Commissionership.
Senator Elkins told the President TODAY
that three West Virginia men-Mason.
Miller and Scott-had made good commits
sloners of internal revenue in past years
ana that he had a first-class man from
the state whom he would like to have
named TO I'LL the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Commissioner Yerkes The
PRESIDENT did not give the senator much
encouragement, although Senator Elkins
did not understand from his talk that the
President has positively decided to apnoint
Pearl Wight, republican national commit
tecman Of Louisiana.
For Roosevelt if He Wants It.
When pressed for statement as to the
presidential preferences of his own state
Senator Elkins first said that the selection
OF delegates was a mighty long time off
and that he did not care to talk about if.
Later he said: IF Roosevelt wants the dele
CATION from the state he could have it. al
though It is understood that he does NOT
want 1t. Secretary Taft has some friends
but there are any number Of good men
who would suit us and would make good
Presidents
Representative Hull of Iowa said prac-
ticaliy >thc same thing Senator Elkins as
TO Iowa. IF the President would indicat q
that he would take another nomination
Iowa would be for him. said Mr. Hull, but
if he is not in the race it would he anv.
body's fight. with the delegation divided.
Vice President Fairbanks has many strong
friends in the state especially among the
country editors. He has travelled in the
state and is well known.
Secretary Taft has many friends because
the President is understood to be for him.
AS to eX-Secretary Shaw. he has many
friends. although it is taken for granted
that since he has entered business In New
York he will not be in the race next year"
How about Gov. Cummins?'
We'll, L think he could have the deIega-
ton of the state for Vice President II he
wanted 1t: He couldn't get the delegates
for the presidential nomination if President
Roosevelt desired them. The factional diff
ferenceS in state make it almost i'm
possible for any man outside of the Presi-
dent to get the entire delegation. The prob
ability is that the delegation will be divided
if the President is to be out of the fight
Mr. Hull and Gov. Cummins are bitter
political enemies.
