oeehb W TiedSe SenaUOTS.
Washington, Nov. 15.-Readers of
The News and Courier may have noted
that its Washington correspondent
has never undertaken t. explain the
course of the contest for the district
attOrneyship and the marshalship in
terms of the presidents conjectured
attitude towards the candidacy of
Gov. Blease for the senate. Such ex-
PLANTATION seems gratuitous and far
fetched.
All of the evidence which has
come within the ken of the News and
Courier's correspondent has led him
to regard the disagreement of the
district attorneyship as the cause of
the administrations worry, and not
the probable effect of this or thai APP
pointment on the Blease candidacy.
There is no reason to conclude that
Attorney General McReynolds recon-
mendcd Weston and Sims because he
did not think them the best material
presented for the places. AS to the
president, he has taken no action
whatever, and wants the senators to
agree before he does SO. BY the same
reasoning that explains the attorney
generals recommendations on the the
DRY Of a desire to injure Blease, the
presidents failure to act on the at
| "a n,.,,p
would be interpreted as indicating a
desire to help Blease.
The plain fact is that the admins
~tration has failed to reach finality
ship and the marshalship because of
the presidents wish to accord each
senator his due, and particularly be-
cause OF his wish to retain the cor
ator, who has been regular" in
backing up the Wilson policies. The
president does not intend to give of
fence to either Senator Tillman or
Senator Smith if he can help it; and
he really cannot afford to take
chances of alternating or chilling sup
port in the senate in view of the i'm
%portance of keeping a Macedonian
phalauX Of majority votes in readi-
ness for use.
There have been similar disagree
'mcnts between senior and junior
Democratic senators in other States
than South Carolina over patronage
questions. The present deadlock
would in all probability have existed
lust the same if there had been no
Blease. The whole trouble came
about from a disagreement between
the w senator's, and the additional
district bill represents an effort to
solve the tie-up by providing a dis
trict in which each senator shall have
the say as to the Offices, as is the
situation in North Carolina, where
Senator Simmons has just recon-
mended a district attorney and a
marshal for the eastern district and
Senator Overman has done the same
for the western district.

MAHAN REPLIES.
TO A. M'NEIL JR.
Tells What His Highway Con-
tracts Have Been
NEVER WON EXCEPT
IN OPEN COMPETITION
And Never Got Advice AS to
Amount of His Bids

Replying to the editorial attack up
on him in Senator A McNeil's news
paper, the Bridgeport Telegram, Con-,
gressrnan- elect Bryan f. Nathan has
the following in the Hartford Coux-
ant which will be of local interest:
To the Editor of The Courant:
In reference to the statement APP
pearing in the Bridgeport Telegram
concerning contracts the writer has
held for State highway work, do
not propose to wait for an investi-
cation OF the State highway depart
ment, but I do propose 20 make g.
plain, STRAIGHTFORWARD statement Of
lust what the relations have been be-
tween the State highway department
and myself.
work in which I was interested was
that I was one of three men who
built piece of road subcontractors
of a firm in Boston. the Gill Company,
who were the lowest bidders. This
contract was In the town of East
Lyme, near New London Before we
had finished that piece Of work, the
hie,hway commissioner advertised for
bids for about three and one-half miles
of road in the towns OF Old Lyme
and East Lyme, 1T being practically
then doing. We had all of our tools.
I'M elements, teams and men on the
ground and we submitted a bid In
open competition for the work; There
-~S
but we were the lowest, our figure
, being $1.49 per linear foot, while the
next lowest bidder submitted a price
of $1.56 per linear foot.
At this time 1 think it is only fair
to myself to say that any fair minded
man who will go over that road and
see the amount of work that was done
for the State ait the price submitted,
$1.49 per foot, will believe me when
I say 1 sunk a considerable sum of
money for the privilege of building
that particular piece of road for the
State.
The next contract I received from
the State of Connecticut was. in the
town of Stratford. 1 thad previously
received a contract from the COnnec-
ticut Company, being the lowest bid
der to build two miles of trolley track
and a macadam road on each side
| of the tracks This was on Barnun
avenue, a part of which was in the
| town of Stradford, near :the other con-
! tract When the State advertised

him for many years I have admired
his ability, persistency and devotion

systems of the State.
| My position in TINS matter is not to
hinder the Governor Of the State of
Connecticut. but rather to help him
and keep him from making what in
my optnion would be serious blum
der, for which the State of Connechi-
cut would have to pay.

cheering News Of January 8, 1915 as
reporting what Colonel William D.
Sohier, chairman OF the Massach usetts
Highway Commission, said at the
American road congress in Atlantic
City last October:
"The State of Maine is about to ex-
pend two millions OF dollars in high
way construction, and the State Board
of Trade has secured advice from an
expert in the federal office Of public
roads as to the proper organization to
control the expenditure. The expert
advised that the highway system OF
Maine be placed in the hands of q
highway commission to be composed
of three members appointed by the
Governor and council; the original ap-
pofntees to serve three, two and one
years respectively, and thereafter each
commissioner to serve three years
