ments but the administration is pick
ing out the best men for the jobs and
will continue to do so from start to
finish.
The senate cut out $4,000 worth Of
patronage that the republicans had
been giving to their helpers and
which the democrats will have to do
without. At least they will have 10.
for awhile because nearly all of the
positions with the exception Cf a few
policemen who were cut out by the
house year ago, have been put back
into position and there are as many
now drawing money from the hcase
as there were under the republican
administration. The chances are that
the 10000 post offices will be put
back and filled by democrats, thus
giving the congressman something 70
do: otherwise, they will have nothing
at all but their patronage in TIE
hclse.
Tie policy Of Mr. Wilson in chop
ping down has been a democratic pol
icy for many years and will continue
under all democratic presidents, and
YOU can bet when Wilson chops ae
ueans to chop down-he does not
mean 70 put back the next year.
Il remains to be seen yet whether
or not he will put back the 10000
postmastars who were installed under
the civil service by President Taft.
There are lots of places in the sem
ate that have not yet been filled,
but which will be filled shortly after
that body convenes on the 7th Of
April
The democrats need not look for
many appointments before the next
session of congress on April 9TH
/ There will only be appointed those
people who are absolutely necessary
to carry on the business of the couu-
try, but Wholesale appointments will
not be made until congress meets and
the senate can take action on them in
either Withholding its consent or not
TO the appointment made.
The president is every day study
ing who is the best man for the po-
sition and the people of the country
may be satisfied that the president
has made up his mind after deliber-
ate and mature consideration, but
with that kind OF a president in the
white house you may be sure that
that he will not IN any way try to
overstcp the laws or try to do any
thing that is not in consonance with
the habitual course of the democratic
party The democratic party is in
safe hands so long as Woodrow VII
son is president of the United States.
do not know what is going to hap
pen as far rs Bryan and Wilson are
concerned. / sincerely hope that
thcv will 50 along for the four years
in the same manner that they have
commenced this administration, but
there is no telling what Bryan will
do, provided he is not consulted oa
every consideration by the president,
not only in making his appointments
nut in doing other things that Nj.
Bryan thinks ought to be done.
Whatever MIR. Bryan may do It
may be put down in black and white
that the president is going to do just
as he pleases or what is democrats
duty to do under the circumstances
and ne is not going to have anything
to do with Mr. Bryan's say-so in the
matter That is the kind of man
that President Wilson is and you can
put it in your pipe and smoke it that
It is going to be his administration
