THE LATEST rs THE FIJI
The merry ways of the mad
cap clown are pleasantly called to
mind by the distinctly novel fea-
ture of this handsome full-length
Prot coat. They are the huge
sealskin buttons which are used,
not only as fastenings, but for
trimming on the sleeves and back
of the coat.
Contrary to supposition, these
big, furry balls are not in any way
grotesque, but lend themselves
readily to the clever scheme of
contrast which is carried out in
the model !
The material of this dress-up
wrap is a lightweight chinchilla,
and the color a delicate baby blue,
which the deep sealskin collar sets
off capitally. AS usual the touch
of fur adds greatly to the costly
appearance of the coat without Sc
riously increasing its expense.
This outdoor apparel may be
worn equally well in the after
noon or evening and has the>dou-
Bile advantage of being warm and |
looking well.

DEMOCRATIC
WRANCLE OVER
POSTMASTER
Aspirations Of Several May
Have Effect Upon Sena-
tOrlaI Fight
MONAGHAN, FAIRY, TRUAX
AND ENGLISH URGED

From all indications the Democrats
are getting into a pretty snarl over
the appointment of a postmaster for
Wilmington to succeed Postmaster NJ.
Howard Jester whose term expires
the latter part of the coming year.
Several well-known Democrats are
mentioned in connection with the ap-
pointment. which may have some eff
feet upon the Senatorial election be-
cause friends of some aspirants for
the postmastership are trying to ex-
act a pledge that they will be named.
There is a rumor that National Com
mitteeman Willard Salisbury, who is
looked upon by many Democrats as
the official patronage dispenser in
Delaware for the President Wilson ad-
ministration, has promised the post
mastership to Thomas NJ Monaghan,
who was defeated for Governor, as a
sort of consolation prizes, and also to
try to placate a big host Of Senator
Monaghan's friends who have not for
gotten, and will not forget for a long
time, some phases of the last cam
paign that ended in the defeat of Mr..
Monaghan for Governor.
But there has come a disturbing
turn to the situation, according 10
the report in Democratic circles, IL
being to the effect that Martin r.
Fairy. former member of the De-
partment of Elections, has a yearn-
I ing to be postmaster and has his
I eyes on that job Mr. FAIRY has long
/ been a faithful follower Of Salisbury
and was one Of the few Democrats
who had a memorable conference
I with Mr.. Salisbury over the Guber-
natorial nomination in a Delaware
avenue residence just before the las,
Democratic State Convention. Ac-
cording to the report Mr. Farry's de-
4 sire to be postmaster has compicat-
ed the situation. but there is a fur
iher mix-up over the aspiration o.

NEUTRAL ON SENATORSHIP
viii Not Interfere in Choice by the Delaware Legis-
Iafre---WhiIe He Desires Democrat Chosen,

like that and he told his questIoner
to say So
No doubt Governor Wilson appre-
ciates the support Salisbury gave to
him during the campaign. He also
knows Handy personally and appre-
ciates his fitness and claims for tho
senatorship He does not think that
It is in anywise up TO him to choose
between Salisbury and Handy as TO
which should be Senator for Delaware.
That is a purely State thing and he
has trouble enough OF his own In
choosing cabinet and filing other
Federal offices just now. He will not
bother about the Delaware senatorial
contest He wants Democrat
elected and a competent and worthy
one, but he holds that it is not his
his place or duty to indicate any
choice between rival candidates for
the Senate when they are worthy and
competent
The President-elect's determination
to take no hand at all in the contest
between Salisbury and Handy for the
Senate has no bearing on his possible
willingness to appoint Salisbury 70
high official or diplomatic post.

ticians think that in the end Handy
will be in the Senate aud Salisbury,

will not interfere in the choice Of

He has said that much very emphati-
cally and polntedly to friends Of for
mer Congressman Handy. who ap-
preached him personally on the sub
ject
Willard saulsbury's supporters have
been expecting and declaring that
the President-elect will in good time
give an intlmauon that he would like
to see Salisbury in the Senate and,
thereby swing Assemblymen into the
Salisbury column. Handy's friends
could not see any good reason why
the New Jersey Governor should take
that course. Handy declared for
Wilson's nomination months ahead Of
Salisbury He has always belonged
TO the same type Of democracy to
which President-elect Wilson belongs.
There is no doubt that in the Senate
Handy would support Wilson's Admin
istration and advocate his policies
and Handys friends claim that his
support would have more real elo-
