THEY'RE WORRIED
Members Congress Concerned
Over Federal Patronage.
Their Nominations Held Up by
President.

STORM BREWING IN CAPITOL
SunfIOwer Delegation Went to
Mat With Thompson.
Kansans Don't Like Way He's
Handling Job Question.

Washington, May members of
congress are beginning to be concerned
about federal patronage. In fact,
they are frothing at the mouth over
count for. Thus far few names have
been sent to the senate. President
Wilson's list of callers from the two
legislative branches is growing daily,
and but few come away from the
White House with any assurance that
result, rumblings of war are quietly
heard at both ends of the capitol as a
result of this condition.
Those at the pie counter are won
handed out. 1t is explained at the
White House that all appointments
are given full consideration, and that
both sides will be heard. Where
there are two factions in a state, every
effort will be made to distribute the
patronage on an equitable basis.
Thus far it has been openly charged
that the delay is due to the tariff leg
islation and its present uncertain
stage. How many names Will be sent
to the senate in the near future, and
what the nature of the nominations
will be, is a matter fraught with deep
meaning just now. The practical pol
itician is less interested in ambassa-
dorships than he is in postmaster
ships, district attorneyships and col
1t is confidently expected that
President Wilson will nominate a
goodly bunch of Kansas politicians for
postoffice jobs some time this week.
This expectation may or may not
prove true. No one knows from day
to day what President Wilson will do.
No one has any inside information as
to what move the president will make
from day to day. He is tight cor
poration on all matters of state. Sen
ators and representatives wait upon
him like messenger boys. eager and
impatient to know what he will do
with their patronage. They will know
nothing about their particular pie cut
ting until nominations are sent to the
senate. The president is proving him
self wonder for reticence when it
comes to handing out jobs.
Kansas Democracy is growing very
impatient over the delay of postmaster
appointments. A bunch of the faith
full blew into Washington and waited
upon Senator Thompson and the Dem
ocratic members of the house from
Kansas and asked for an explanation
over the apparent delay Of handing out
plunls. While it is understood there
was some turbulous times enacted DUR
ing the visit of the Sunf1ower delega-
ton, the Democratic statesmen declare
