What has attracted particular atten-
ton is the presidents announcement
that he will appoint E. X. Campbell
of Birmingham. who was the Under
wood congressional campaign man
ager, to be Judge of the court of
claims, to succeed Judge Charles B.
Howry, who is to become chief justice
of this court. Mr.. Campbell's son
married daughter of Mr.. Underwood.
The two men have been as close in
friendship as in politics. The compli-
ment to Underwood becomes the more
apparent in the light of the fact that
Underwood did not ask for the ap-
pointment. The president sounded the
Alabama senator's as to their pleasure,
and finding the nomination would be
welcome, decided to make it.
This action by the president is re-
garded not only as an appreciation of
Underwood, but as an evidence of a
desire, whenever satisfactory ap-
pointment at the same time can be
made, to recognize all the elements
OF the democratic party which sup
ported candidates other than Wilson
at the Baltimore nominating conven.
ton. The Clark element already has
been recognized by the appointment
OF former Governor A. M. Dockery as |
third assistant postmaster general. |
The line is drawn only on democrats
who are reactionary all down the line.
or who were abusive of Mr.. Wilson in |
the primary campaign.
