"ro discovered that the political
PUN tree" of 1913 bore little fruit.
naying suffered from the blight Of
extended civil service rules and the
added requisite Of familiarity with
The conditions existing in govern
ment departments. Consequently
scores OF disappointed Job hunters
are cooling their heels in the hotels
&; the capital and bemoaping their
fate To these unfortunates who ex-
pocted to profit personally through
ne incoming administration. Presi-
dent Wilson's statement OF Wednes-
day came az a further shock. The
presidents determination not to see
ofiice seekers unless he sends for
them. virtually closed the main ave-
nue. to the goal Of official position A
further complication Is found In the
fact that the heads of the various
departments, being new in their po-
sitions, are evincing no haste in
making changes In the STATS over
