protection, but this, of course, was not
based on anything that Shively said.
In fact, Shively has been for Kruger
ever since the fight started. 1t has
been known that this appointment
would not be satisfactory to Senator
Kern. but from present indications it
appears that his makes little difference
to Shivaly.
The only question that is agitating
the Taggart machine men now is
whether Wilson would appoint kruger
even If he were recommended by
Shively. Wilson, it is pointed out. is
not much of a lover of machine politics
and politicians. In fact he has fought
| them at all times He broke up po-
ntical machine in New Jersey that was
SO strong in that state as the Taggart
machine is in Indiana Jim Smith, the
head of the New Jersey machine, has
long been a representative of the same
| interests in politics that Taggart, of
Indiana, Sullivan of Illinois and Muir
ply of New York represent. Wilson is
opposed to these things. w. ]. Bryan,
the premier of his cabinet also has long
fought machine politics. and there are

appointment the recommendation viii

lministration.
| 1t seems now that Vice President
Marshall has dipped his oar into the
trouble water of federal patronage
also and 1t is thought that this will
not be well for the Taggart crowd
HE has succeeded in putting crimI
in the machine on one appointment al
ready. Congressman Korbly, of this
city, an out and out Taggart man
wanted William F. Moore, another Tag
CART man appointed postmaster in this
city. And yet the opposition has de-
cided to take that away from him
Robert Springsteen, who has not beer
unduly prominent in local politics. bu
who has been a follower of Marshall
has been introduced by the vice presi-
dent for the postmastership. according
to reports from Washington, and in
dications are that the administration
will listen to this recommendation ano
turn down Moore. This fact is thai
lMoore's friends are of the opinion thai
The has been somewhat double crossed
by. someone connected with the Tag
CART outfit, thought they do not know
as yet who it was that did it.
They feel that Taggart should have
put it over for Moore if he had tried
hard enough.
| 1t is understood that Marshall would
not recommend kruger for the collect
orship. and if the vice presidents in
f1uence was sufficient to handle the
postmastership it is the belief of some
that it might be sufficient to contro
the collectorship also. If the vice pres
ident takes a notion to dip into thi:
appointment there is no telling wha
the result may be.
| There has been lot of talk lately
to the effect that Governor RalStor

terms expire, and this has caused SOM
uneasiness among the Marshall men a

retire from office as state accountant ii
June. when his term expires. and tina
he will be supplanted by Gilbert H

office. Hendren is an ardent Ralstoi
man and has long been identified will
