POSTMASTERS NOT CONFIRMED
An Explanation of What Happened in Taft Administration
Vermont Interests in Washington

IN the membership. This as will be
seen, made Il small Republican major
ity but, while the Senate was nom
inally Republican i'm majority, Senator
Lafollette and some of his Republican
followers who were not in sympathy
with the Taft administration, could
join hands with the Democrats at any
time and prevent the Republicans from
securing a majority. This is Just
exactly what was done and it is very
apparent that with few Republicans
not in sympathy with the administra-
tion voting with the Democrats, the
Republicans as a body were i'm hope
less situation as to getting an eXecu-
tive session where the nominations
could he discussed and the confrma-
tions secured. Day after day the Re
pubicans attempted to go into execu-
tive session and were voted down.
Only during the very last days of the
session was it possible to secure an
executive session at all and then only
army appointments, and the like, such
as the Democrats had no objection TO
were entertained for confirmation with
the exception of q few post offices in

We're allowed only out of courtesy to

! So it was that the last Congress
came to a close on the 18th of March
with none of President Taft 5 post
master nominations confirmed. At the

and all nominations made which have
not been confirmed are dead. The

to make places for Democratic employ

by majority. The names of Democrats
to fill these positions which by prece
