TAFT DISCUSSES
OHIO PATRONAGE
Wade H. Ellis Takes Up State Jobs
With the Presi-
dent.

Wade II. Ellis. the leading tailor en-
gagged for the job of repairing the crazy
quilt of Ohio patronage, had a long
conference with the President this
morning before the Cabinet met. There
are many postmasterships, collector
ships, and surveyorshIps in Ohio in
which the incumbents are having
trouble.
There seems to be always somebody
standing around in Ohio to put the roll
ers under Federal offcehOlder.
Charges are filed against persons. and
then are denied. All OF which is eX-
trem ely annoying to the man who has
TO award the patronage.
Mr. Ellis, UPON leaving the White
House, seemed to think he had put a
few good stitches into the crazy quilt,
but he was not proud enough of them
TO boast.
