I no opposition in any quarter among
The Kansas regulars IN congress TO
dcnv senator Bristow the privilege of
naminn n postmaster of his liking for
his home office. The only question
is among them. viii the president so
oyer the head Of Mr. Hitchcock and
satisfy Mr., Bristow : wishes IN the
matter. and at the same ms disre-
gard the policy OF the department. In
retaining efficient officials.
senator Bristow has requested the
senate committed on judiciary TO hold
Iup the nomination OF Harry j. Bono,
who has been reappointed United
states district attorney for Kansas. on
the recommendation OF senator Curtis,
When asked the reason Tor his ac-
ltion. Mr.. Bristow SAID There are
some matters concerning MI. Bone
which | wish TO look into before final
consideration of his confirmation is
taken up by the senate" Further
than this the Junior Kansas enato
declined to explain. 1t Is reliably stat
ed. however, that Mr.. Bristow has
been advised that Bone wrote some
letters severely criticising him, and he
is now endeavoring to have the mat
ter investigated by his friends in KAN
sas.
IEllSlOW nlllll ItAl AhNAiNNA w IN MS
protest. should he decide to do so,
against n favorable recommendation
for Zones confirmation. II is likely
however. that if Mr.. Bristow requests
the appointment TO be held up for an
other week the committee will readily
aceede to his wishes.
In the meanwhile Senator Curtis
feels no concern whatever that the
senate will confirm Bone. All the
charges made by Bristow, White and
others in Kansas against Bone have
been thoroughly investigated ana
thrashed out and the nominee given
n clean bill Of health by both the de-
partment of justice and internal eve
nue. bureau officials. Furthermore.
President Taft approved OF the find
ings in the various investigations made
and also publicly expressed his high
opinion of the services Of Mr.. Bone.
In view Of this situation the senate
committee, nor the senate as a body.
would agree to having the charges re-
opened.
The only question now is. what will
Senator Bristow dig up against Bone
which may defer his confirmation. 1t
Is generally conceded that Senator
Bristow could not round up sufficient
support in the senate to defeat the
confirmation should he make a fight
IN executive session to thta end.
just when the president will sec
fit TO announce the appointments Of
a pension agent at Topeka and coll
of internal revenues for Kansas
at his time be forecasted.
Is good a given for the
they are not already settled upon. As
has been stated exclusively in the
Journal from time 70 time, A. w.
Smith of Mcpherson VIII be appoint
c1 pension agent, and State Senator
Leidy OF Butler county will be the
next collector Of revenues to succeed
Mr. Simpson. Both Smith and Leidy
are Curtis men.
Colonel Wilder S. Actealf. lhe pres
agent ut Topeka. was in Washing
q short time ago on official busl-
ness. He has been in no way a can
iidate FOR reappointment. in view OF
he fact that he has held the oillce
two terms. While here he called
IN many members of the Kansas dele
cation. including the two senators. but
10 reference or indication was made
ov him ms he was even q comDro-
mise candidate. He merely called on
.nch to pay his respects.
