II do not believe that Senator King

had been offered, through the instru-
mentality of Mr.. Flood. an appointment
as special assistant attorney and
would be detailed upon certain work

or. as the article says, that Senator
Martin had another man that would be-
urged for this place, or. as the Senator
further says. for appointment as as
sistant Attorney-General'

assumes that should the organization
secure two appointments for Virginians

serve as n bar to my appointment
There arc six or seven assistant Attor-
neys-General. all presidential appoint
Inents. made, however. upon the recon-
mendation of the Acknowledgement
senator King has not been rendered
such an appointment unless by the
organization. and I doubt seriously
that they can deliver the goods In this
particular instance
L had not expected that my candl-
oacy would be favored by Senator Mar
tin and Congressman Flood, though I
have never talked with them upon tho
subject. l had not assumed that thev
would make any particular fight when
an antiorganization man was being con-
sidered for place outside of Virginia.
as such an appointment could hardly
be considered as depriving them of n
plum with which they might reward
some faithful servitor. Messrs. Jones.
Glass and Montague have Endorsed me
TOT the appointment, and many men of
influence from New HAMPSHIRE and
massachusetts, with whom / campaign
ed last TALL, have advised the President
and Attorney-General that they would
be gratiied should 1 receive the ap-
pointment
Should the organization make de-

IS UNION STATION
GOOD FOR city,.
Mayor of St. Louis Writes That
1t Is Not Good for
That CITY.

In answer to n letter written by w.
d. Duke. assistant to the president of
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad, Mayor KEEL, of ST.
Louis, has written that although St
Louis is the largest city in the United
States having a union station. he does
not believe that n union station is
beneficial to the people of the city of
st. Louis although it is beneficial to
the outside travelling public.
Mr.. Dukes letter follows:
Richmond, Va, July II, 1913.
Hon. Henry w. kiel, Mayor, st. Louis,
Mo-:
Dear Sir,-I write to ask, II you have
no objection. that you advise me whe-
Their in your opinion a union station Is
desirable from the standpoint Of the
citizens OF large city. L believe that
there are some advantages and soma
disadvantages. What L would like to
know is whether the people of st.
Louis generally think that several In
dependent stations would be better
than having all the railroads enter
ing one station.
Any information that you feel at
liberty TO give me in this matter will
be appreciated
Yours very truly,

Assistant to President.
