been selected by the President to organize
the civil government in the Panama
Canal Zone. The announcement was made
to-day following conference Of the
President and Secretaries Bryan. Garri-
son and Daniels.
Bryan got his man. was all that Mr..
Garrison would say.
Inasmuch as the post is one OF the
choicest bits Of political patronage within
the gift of President Wilson, carrying a
salary Of $1,000 a year, there is sus-
picion that Mr.. Bryan outdid the Secre-
tary Of War. who would logically have
the disposal Of the plum. II is an open
secret that the best Of feeling does not
prevail in the Presidents official family
as a result Of the appointment.
Mr. Metcalfe was associate editor on an
Omaha newspaper when Mr.. Bryan was
editor, and in 1895 became editor-in-chief.
