MR.. BYAN'S INFLUENCE
New York Sun Finds Fault With the
Diplomatic Selections-Wilson
However, Is Playing
Lone Hand
MR.. BYAN'S INFLUENCE
by C. E. STEWART

Washington, November 21.-(Speeia1l
Those who seek to criticise President Will
son and his administration, unable to find
anything material to lay a hold upon in
his policies and pubic acts since Presi-
dent, now are attacking him upon his po-
litical appointments. They claim to have
at last found the weakness of the Pres
ident-and they charge that this weak
ness is that he is no judge of men. Ad-
mitting that he is a judge of measures.
and that his policies are popular with the
people, they are pointing out that great
dissatisfaction is following many of his
appointments.
In this regard the New York Sun
usually supporting the administration, but
whose dislike of long standing for the
Secretary of State probably prompted an
attack they could not resist, severely crit
icises Bryan for the list of diplomats he
has been instrumental in putting into the
government service. They declare that
the diplomatic list has been "given to
spoils," and point out that the President
reserved a certain part of the list for
himself and turned the remainder over to
Bryan" They are pleased with the ap-
pointments that the President has made,

ADJUSTMENTS
Gertrude Hoffman,

Gertrude Hoffman, and her vaude-
| vile company appeared at the jefferson
theatre yesterday afternoon and last
night, presenting Miss Hoffmann's
"revue" and some vaudeville entertain
ment of excellent quality. 1t is a far
cry from chorus girl to a dancer and
mimic of international fame but Miss
Hoffman, has risen to her present posi-
tion of prominence in the theatrical
world from an obscure part in the
Bijou Musical Comedy company in
something less than a decade. She now
occupies unique place and Is emf
nently successful in her dancing spec
tacles and her mimicry.
Although much discussed in advance
as probably shocking and risque, there
was nothing particularly Objectionable
in Miss Hoffmann's performance, with
the possible exception of her imitation
of Anna Held, which had to be naughty
to be lifelil<e. Miss Hoffman, is a
mimic of rare skill. Her impersonations
of various stage celebrities received the
applause they richly deserved, while
the revue" was staged with sufficient
elaborateness to make it pictorially
very pleasing. A chorus of remarkably
pretty girls lent beauty and charm to
several dance scenes, notably "Zobeide's
Dream" and graceful imitation of
Isadora Duncans classical dancing.
Miss Hoffman, is reputed to draw a
large salary. She certainly earns it,
and her performance merits the Roose
veltian term, strenuous" She does all
the hardest work in her part of the
performance and does 1t extremely well.
Her limitations of Bessie Mccoy Anna
Held, Eddie Foy and Harry Lauder
We're divertingly true to the originals,
while her dancing is quite ambitious.
A violnist of the freak" variety
opened the performance with some imi-
tations of various sounds that were
mildly entertaining Ching Ling Foo
and his Chinese troupe proved to be
equipped with great variety of talent,
Ching Ling Foo himself performing
number of mystifying tricks. A troupe
of Arabs were much applauded for their
wirlwind leaping and tumbling.

Several other questions were an

Move in Alabama Expected

1t has been learned upon good authority
that some move in the Alabama situation
will take place soon. The President will
make an appointment at an early date
for the district attorneyship for the middle
district. No one knows who the appointee
will be-and 1t is said that possibly that
neither of the leading candidates-Tylcr
Goodwin and T. d. Samford-will be ap-
pointed. Goodwin Is urged by Senator
Bankhead, and Sanford has been backed
by Frank p. Glass, who was recently ap-
pointed as senator in waiting for Ala
bama. The ruhnor is that the President is
disposed to turn another trick to help out
Henry ID. Clayton, since he has been
charged with meddling with Alabama pol
itics he will step in and settle the con-
test in Clayton's district By appointing
Stesall, Mr.. Clayton's opponent, who is
also an applicant for the district attorney
ship-as district attorney to succeed War
ren Reese. Whether there is any real
ground for such a rumor cannot be as
certained.
There is one thing sure, the President
will figure the matter out to his own sat
lsfaction and then act, and it makes lit
tie difference who agrees with him upon
the subject after he has made up his
mind He may be playing politics, as is
charged, but ii is quite certain If he is
that he is playing a lone hand"

new Jersey appointment
But while the Sun is lenient with the
President, others are not. There is con-
siderable complaint, especially over the
appointment of Whittpen of New Jersey
as naval officer for the port of New Yorf.
This job has always been given to a New
Yorker and that the President should go
to his own state and appoint a man for
this plum in another state has aroused
considerable feeling.
The President has shown, however, that
he is not going to let political consider
ations influence him in making appoint
ments. This may not be good politics,
and it may-upon that question there is
a great difference of opinion. Some be-
lieve that the President is sowing the
seeds of discomfort in his own party. that
may spring up and rob him of the nomi-
nation in 1916, while others believe that in
this course he is making a hit with the
people, and that it will insure him a Sec
ond term in the White House
