Gossip About Patronage.
In previous dispatches from Wash
ington the subject Of the removal by
executive order OF $4,000 postmasters
from minor offices from the patronage
list was discussed. The Democrats be
lieve that Woodrow Wilson when he
becomes president will revoke the or
der and will restore the postmaster
ships to their previous status. This
question of patronage. although il in
wolves $4,000 small offices. is not con
corning the party which soon will be
completely dominant so much as do
other and greater patronage matters.
Mr.. Wilson can change the status of
the postmasters by stroke of the
pen, and If he does IL the Offices af-
fected will be in way under the con.
troll of the Democratic leaders in the
districts in which they are located.
Other appointments which it will be
within the power OF the president to
make are those to greater Offices and

Judge Henry, who himself has

an impressive statement IN which
be reviewed the pressure that had
been brought to bear upon him to
let Smith off with only fine or
small Jail sentence, and that if he
followed the dictates of his own

be light, but that the duties of a
