There has been marked discomfort
among some Southern Republicans over
the Presidents decision to divide the cen
sus patronage in the solid South"
Colonel Cecil Lyon, Republican national
committeeman, came all the way from
Texas to tell the President that he would
rather have the state put in charge Of
one superyisOr-a good Republican, of
cOurse-than 10 have divided the congress
siOnal districts with the Democrats
Colonel Lyon said the declaration of this
policy on his part held good for all the
states
The states where the supervisors are
divided equally between the Democrats
and Republicans are Virginia, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.
No Political Patronage.
Director Durand said he hoped to have
the supervisors actively at work by the
middle Of October. He said many of the
supervisors APPOINTED by the President
IN the communities in which they live, and
nave been selected more for their Capa-
bllties as officials than for any active
part they have played in politics. In
fact, President Taft, it is said, laid down
the rule that supervisors shall not be
active partisans and that no attempts
should be made to build up political ma
chimes out of the census patronage. Di-
rector Durand has personally inquired
into the standing of every candidate
recommended.
Colonel Lyon does not think President
Taft is going to see enough of Texas on
his coming trip. according to the Presi-
dents itinerary, which takes him to FL
PasO, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, HOus-
ton and Dallas. Furthermore, the Presi-
dents trip. as planned, carries him
through three congressional districts
where cattle raising is the chief industry
and free hides are not popular, and
through two districts devoted TO lumber,
which was reduced to S1.25 in the tariff
list.
Overlook Is Marshel.
President Taft appointed Charles A.
Overlook of Douglas, Ariz., as United
States marshal for that territory. Mr.
Overlook succeeds Ben T. Daniels,
trough rider, appointed by President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Daniels has been appoint

forthcoming trip. The invitation was
