JOB SEEKERS
STILL ANNOY
SALISBURY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., April TO-
Notwithstanding United States Sena-
tor Willard Saulsbury's protest
against being besioged by job-hunters.
they continue to make life as unpleas-
ant as possible for him, and not day
has passed since he came 10 Washing
ton for the extra session OF Congress
that he has not had half dozen or
more applications for places. In some
cases persons from Delaware have Wis
tied his Office and letters and tele-
grams have played a prominent part in
the siege
Representative Franklin Brockson
has also had his share of attention.
but not so much as Senator Salisbury.
Office seekers in Delaware have learn
ed that all appointments must be con-
Armed by the United States Senate and
many of them have taken for granted
that consequently they must be made
by Senator Salisbury. But although
the Senate does confirm the appoint
ments, Representative Brockson is he
ing consulted, especially where the APP
polntments pertain to the two lower
counties of the state.
Because Of the crowded condition OF
the House Office building. Mr. Brock
son has been given quarters in the old
Maltby building, now called the Sem
ate annex. az b street and New Jersey
avenue, northwog' Just opposite the
capitol grounds and only one square
away from the Senate Office building.
In which Mr. Salisbury has his Office.
And that one square Is being kept hot
by Office seekers going from Senator
Saulsburys Office TO that of Mr.. Brock
son.
IL was stated today at both Senator
Saulsbury's and Representative
Brockson's Office that since coming
to Washington. the two new Demo-
cratic members of Congress from
Delaware have had one or two con-
ferences on the question of appoint
ments Just what. n anything. has
been decided they are not at this time
ready 20 say, but 10 was intimahed
that probably some names would be
sent TO the President In a week or
ten days President Wilson is not in
any hurry to take mp the question OF
appointments, and he has let that be
pretty generally known among the
Democratic members.
Though no statement TO that effect
has been made to either Senator
Salisbury or Representative Brock
son, it Is probable that the first APP
pointments TO be made will be for
those postmastcrships in Delaware
that have expired, and for which APP
p, intments made by the republican
Of Congress failed of con-
nrmatlon at the last session. These
offices are New Castle. Smyrna, Mid
dletown. Seaford. Milford. Laurel and
Milton.
Senator Saulsburys office was yes
terday moved from 40. 225 Senate
Office building No. 407, and Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts now occupies
No. 225. That is the Office occupied
for six years by Former Senator
Richardson. and Mr. Salisbury oc-
cupied IL when he first came to Wash
ington.

Speaker Bewails
Lack of Influence
In Getting Jobs

ALTON, ILL, Nov. 26.-Speaker
Champ Clark, in a letter to w. A.
Bode, of Alton, personal friend, en-
tered disclaimer of any forgetting
influence outside of his Congressional
District. In the course of his letter
Speaker Clark said:
Il have no more to do with post
offices in Illinois than the man in the
moon. Presidents here for years are
to the effect that Congressman and
Senators control local matters in their
States-that is, the President looks to
them to make suggestions.
so far, outside of postoffices, l
have been able to get three small Of
fees for my district, two of them
hardly worth having, and the other
Minister to Bolivia. Why anybody
would want that office l have never
been able to understand. So you see
how much influence / would have in
getting Illinois Offices"

a comparison of the genuine sigma

clined to go further into the matter.
The vindication part Of it is all

there are some features that didn't
hit her so favorably.
They talked about a quiet settle

quiet features of it. II they were
going to raise all this fuss about it,
they might as well have gone into
