out that the Democratic Senators would

Tammany dislikes John Mitchell. He
had chance TO be nominated for the
Vice-Presidency OF the United States on
the ticket with William J. Bryan in 1908.
and his actions at the time did not please
the Democrats. Bryan asked Mitchell 10
consent TO run with him. but he would
give no definite answer. Mr.. Mitchell had
been on such close terms with Theodore
Roosevelt since the coal strike of 1902
that he did not feel ut liberty To accept
Bryan's offer. IL was said. until after he
had talked with the President. Again in
1910. Mitchell wounded Democratic feel
inGs by publishing statements that re-

PATRONAGE is TARIFF CLUB

Washington. April 2f.-Demoeratic mem
bers of Congress who have been expect
ing. and IN many instances promising. IN
pass out patronage 10 their constituents
in the near future are doomed 10 have
their hopes blasted by the President, who
politely informed several delegations to-
day that he intended first TO take up
number OF big problems before Turn
ing his attention TO replacing Republican
ofiiceholders with Democrats.
This edict is regarded by many Demo-
Gratis as another manifestation OK the
masters rod. the impression being that
President Wilson wishes 10 observe the
performances of the Representatives an"
Senator'S in the consideration OF his tar VI
bill before listening too long and atten-
lively to their peadines in behalf OF
lifelong Democrats" and original WI
son men" who crave Jobs. or course
there is no such open charge. but among
themselves the Democratic members are
commenting acridly on the apparent pur-
pose OF President Wilson to use patron
age to push the tariff measure through.
The first delegation to- be told pointedly
about the proposed delay In doing out
patronage consisted Of Representatives
Bartlett. Adamson. Hughes, Ed"ards'
Walker. Lee, Roddenbery and Tribblc' An
of Georgia The Georcians frankly n
ouircd when they might expect to deposs
the Republicans from the federal berths
i'm their state. and President Wilson told
them not until several other problems hsd
been got out Of the way.
Senators Bankhcad and Johnston an"

of Alabama received similar information
as did Senator Ransdell, of Loulslana'
who called az the White House to urge
the appointment of John 5. Y. Fatnti'-
ROY. of Monroe La. for Collector or III
tcrnal Revenue.
There is suspicion among the pelno-
cratic members OF Congress that Pfesi-
dent Wilson will he in no particular hurry
about Louisiana patronage. a. present
prospects are that Senators Ransden an"
Thornton will he fractions regarding free
sugar. Similar situations exist III other
states. so that whether or not President
Wilson is trying TO intimidate rebellou7
members he is doing so unconscously.
