Census Appointments.

Madison. Wis, Feb. 1S.-That in

with shifty variations-to actually
withhold patronage from those who do
not bend the knee. Senator La Fol-
lette points out that in three Wiscon-
sin districts progressive congressman
were disciplined in the appointments
of supervisors of census because they
had voted against the tariff bill" He
does not mention. however, the sew

titled to know that republicans who
are faithfully representing public in

president and his advisers are entitled
to know that this will not make the
slightest difference in the action of
progressive senators and representa-
tives upon the presidents policies or
any of his measures.
I'm other words. they will neither
be coerced into support of bills, irri-
tated into opposing anything in the
public interest. or silenced in the free
expression of their opinions of the
measures, the policies or the acts of
the administration by any course
which the president may pursue re-
garding patronage"
