ments among Democrats Who hoped
the election OF a Democratic Hoase

them some. OF the positions now held
here by Republicans.
Congressman now here who VIII
serve in the coming House are az
most overwhelmed with letters from
constituents asking for places. one
good DemocFat-at least he wrote
that he was asked for 4 Mace for
himself, one for his wife and anothe ~

paid well. And this is only 4 sims
plesof what the mail is bringing 10
congressman Of the majority party
in the next House.
There are only about 600 places
under the control OF Congress. Many
of these require technical experiences
OF various kinds. Under an old GUS
tom the minority party is allowed
some OF the patronage. There are
S9l members OF Congress and when
the experts and minority men e4n-
ployes are counted out there there
will hardly be an average of one APP
pointment to the congressman. Then
the old members will expect little
more in the way Of consideration
than the new ones. SO there win be
small chance of more than few,
persons obtaining positions.
