Democrats will oppose his confirmation.
Nominations OF other canal officials.
such As = Judge and the various civil
officials by the President, will also call

A number OF Democratic Senators
take the position that these matters
should be left to President Wilson, that
there Is no need for the officials as yet
and that President Tafts proposed ap.
pointments will be premature. The op-
position Is not to the elevation OF
Colonel Goethals but to the idea OF
President Taft in the last weeks Of his
term naming officials who are to hold
Office for four years.
Chairman Adamson. Of the House
