committee on the District Of Columbia, has

not likely to return to this city for some

the ambition of several prominent citizens

senatorial honors. The Legislature that will
elect hts successor will not be chosen until

Those who labor under the belief that Senator For
aker won out against President Roosevelt in the
recent Cincinnati appointments are evidently not
familiar with the situation Roosevelts son-in-law
is congressman from of the Cincinnati districts
and is by no anxious to retire from politics,
fate which would surely have overtaken him had the
president failed to name the men dictated by the
Cog Dick Foraker machine. Longworth is bene-
fciary of the machine and interceded for the ma
chine candidates. just he persuaded the president
not to appoint negro to Cincinnati Office and the
appointments therefore cannot be regarded in the
| light of concessions to Foraker.
The real test as to the presidents attitude toward
Foraker and Dick is furnished by the Gpostofce
pointments at Wapakoneta, in the fourth congress
sional district, Moser the senatorial candidate be-
ing fatty turned down and the old postmaster reap
pointed There is real political history back of this
appointment. Last year when the delegates to the
Republican state convention poured into Dayton it
found that the fourth district was in bad mud
die. The senators had to have the committeeman
from that district. Moser controlled the Argaize
county delegates and through them held the key to
the situation He refused to support the senatorial
candidate for committeeman until both the senators
promised and furnished him their Endorsement for
the Wapakoneta postofice and not until these were
forthcoming did he deliver the goods Later the
presidents attention called to the unholy COM
pact and Notwithstanding the Endorsements of both
senators, besides those Of the Republican committees
and many prominent leaders in the party Moser was
turned down by the president. Many similar deals
entered into by the senators to gain control
of the Dayton convention, but the offices lc-
Gated in districts represented by Republican con-
gressmen the president did not interfere The
Wapakoneta incident is certainly sufficient to show
that TIE breach separating the two Ohio senators
from the president is just wide

Now For Another Negro Bait.

The appointment of Amor Smith as surveyor OF
customs at Cincinnati, so far that city is con-
cerned, removes all possibility for the recognition
by the president of that valuable adjunct of the Re-
publican party, the negro VOTE and as result nun
dreds of hungry and expectant asprants who mad

just as they were reaching for sce jerk it away
and give it to white man. However, Amor may

MANY CHANGES
IN CABINET.

Beginning with today, Ohio will
have two members of the presi.
dents cabinet, William II. Taft,
secretary of war, and James r.
Garfield, secretary Of the interior,
the latter, who is three years
younger than Secretary Cortelyou,
being the youngest cabinet min
lister, In the reorganized cabinet
New York state has three mem
bers, and Maryland, Massachu-
setts, Iowa and California one
each. Only two members who
served in the cabinet under Presi-
dent Mckinley remain, Secretaries
Root and Wilson, but Secretary
Root has been transferred from
the war to the state department
since that time. Thus the vener-
able secretary of agriculture is
not only the dean of the cabinet,
but he is the only member hold
ing the same portfolio he held in
President McKinley's official FAM
lily.
Secretary Hitchcock, who re-
tires from the interior department.
and is succeeded by Mr.. Garfield,
was next to Secretary Wilson in
point of continuous service, hav-
ing entered the cabinet under Nc
Kinley in 1899. Secretary Shaw,
who also retired yesterday, be
came the head of the treasury de-
partment in 1909. OF the two
new memb bers Mr.. Garfield is the
first son of former president to
become a cabinet officer since the
retirement of Robert Lincoln in
1888. He was member of the
Ohio state senate, and under Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been a civil
service commissioner and COM
missioner of the bureau of corpora
tions. Mr.. Meyer, the other new
member, was a member of the
Massachusetts legislature, United
States ambassador to Italy until
1905 and later ambassador to Rus
