MAY Be DISTRICT HEAD
TWeedaIe Said to Be Slated on
RedfieId'S Advice for
Commissionership.

AionZO Tweedale, auditor for the Dis
Columbia Commissioners. if President
Wilson accepts the advice of one of his
cabinet officers in making the selection.
This fact was learned last night from
an authoritative source.
As matter of fact, the person who
made known the selection declared that
'if Mr.. Tweedale is not appointed, then
Secretary Redfield has absolutely no in
f1uence with President WILSON, Mr..
TWeedale has had several conferences
with Secretary Redfield in the latter
private Office recently.
There are some reasons why weight
should be attached to the report that
Mr.. Tweedale will get one Of the appoint
ments, friends of the auditor declared
last night. For instance, Mr.. Redfield
is what might be called an efficiency
man.
He believes in efficiency and is always
looking out for places where money may
be saved by some change which will re-
suit in better conditions. In practically
all of the speeches which he has made
cheney has been the basis. and figures
and facts are cited in large numbers to
bear out his statements.
The District auditor has made changes
in the accounting methods of the District
which nave resulted in savings, and it is
that Mr.. Redfield has been OBJ
serving these very closely, and has come
to the conclusion that he is the man to
recommend to the President.
