Toledo. FEB. 1S-TOledo politicians are dis
gruntIed because of dispatch received here to-

Roosevelt's contemplated appointment of
Negro to n federal position in Ohio will come TO
the Toledo district, and that the appointee Will
be a new collector of internal revenue in the
Toledo office.

Corder's office Every effort Will be used by
