TEN CANDIDATES OUT
iiite, BeldiBg, Farmer and Lower Are Among Those Men-

Hot Springs, Nov. 23.-Hot Springs the same as the other part of the United States, is not without it's oi- flee seekers. This city also has three fine jobs to offer, that of superintend- cnt of the United States Reservation. Postmaster and keeper of the Govern ment Park located on the reserva- ton.
 Ever since the news was flashed tC the world that Wilson was elected president the political wise acres ol this town have been discussing the various positions that will be filled and who would l.a the most competen, men to fill them.
 While no caucus has been held a.
 ct by the men st the head of the 3aAee"attc organization in Hot J .fin ss, SO far as can be learned. i s prderstood that fully ten men have iome forward and made known theil intention of landing one of the three positions that will be opened when William H. Taft turns over the reins of the government to Wilson.
 Pate Hite, an old time Democrat and one who it is claimed has beer one of the champions of the party through thick and thin, and who ha always been ready to do and die fo, it, is prominently mentioned in con, nection with the postmastership ant some of the wise heads when asked about the appointment, will not sa, |a word for publication, but euietl,
 say that it looks like Hite will SC
 cure the job.
 J. L. Wadley, ex-secretary of thu State Fair Association, is supposed tt re candidate for the office of either postmaster Or superintendent Of tho reservations A we'll known Democrat
 md one who stands high in the coun. eils of the party in this city is thes sfe+ cord of MT. Wadley for years past | Judge Thurston P. Farmer, whl 1 headed the Democratic organizat on as chairman of the Wilson Club, ii l also being spoken of as a possible
 candidate for either of the above DO s1tions and they are many of the poll
 ticians who say that Judge Farme l has better chance than any of tht
 others to gather in one Of the plums. 1 George Lower, of the Daily News, is 1 also being mentioned quite freely as | being in the field for either the super. ntendency of the reservation or thai of keeper of the park and while very little of his plans have been learned i 1t was said today that he would be l found among those who would seel
 one or the other of the jobs. | These four above mentioned mer Iseem to have the call for the posi- 1 tions that have been numerated and there will be a lively fight amongs them for the three jobs. Of course 1 there are others after the plums but 1 from present outlooks they do not stand "a ghost of a chance, as some 1 people would say in summing up tho
 situation.
 The position of United States Con-
 mission is an appointive one and the federal judge looks after it and while I hoc hot
 sure will be brought to bear to land
 this for a Democrat very little can
 ae said of the matter.
 1 For several years the postmaster
 has been acting as deputy United States Marshal for this town, and
 whether or not there will be chance l in the new admin stration and an-
 other man, besides the postmaster i appointed to the place remains to be seen.
 There will be a great deal oi squabbliIg over the offices to he giv-
 en out as prominent politician said
 in talking of the matter. "Of course 1 evryone cannot be pleased and every
 one cannot get job. We will how
 ever. do the best that we can and eX- pect to see competent and efficient men in everyone of the places. Oi
 course I am not at liberty to state
 who may get the offices, but l will
 say that they will be sSaunch and true Democrats"
