at an early date. Mr. Barron was
consulted by Attorney-general Nc.
Reynolds and his assistant. Mr..
Graham. A list is being arranged.
The name of Palmer Woods as
United States marshal was held up
because OF the tremendous influence
brought to bear in behalf OF Cyrus T.
Green. a Texan who seems to be en-.
dOrsed by nearly everybody OF con.
sequence Mr.. Wood continues in the
lead but his name was suspended
when ready for recommendation to
the president.
An emphatic protest was filed by
Mr. Barron against the retention in
office Of Harry H. Holt, who took the
oath as marshal, following the death
of Mr. Hendry. The protest was
based alone on the fact that Mr. Holt
is a Republican and there are not
sufficient offices to supply all the
hungry Democrats.
The president and Secretary Nc
AdoO have determined that Collector
Stackable must go. An early request
will be made for his resignation. His
successor will be chosen from the
large waiting list.
The same is true OF Collector Cot.
trell. His shoes will be occupied by
a Democrat when one can be found.
Porter Boyd heads the column of
those considered likely to be named
for the place.
Postoffice Inspector Knight will be
sent to Honolulu to succeed Mr.. Hare.
Postmaster-ge Burleson called
William F. Young, the new postmast-
er of Honolulu, and Mr.. Barron into
! his private office. He expressed ar
earnest desire that they work togeth-
er in perfect harmony and accord. He
said it was desirable that all minor
positions be filled upon the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Barron and the
county committee.
This recognition was extended be-
cause of the fact that when his
chances of becoming postmaster en-
tirely disappeared, Mr.. Barron &C
: cepted the inevitable with good grace
, and approved the selection of Inspec.
tor Young. He took that course after
the postmaster.general explained to
him the necessity for. having an ex-
pert as postmaster at Honolulu.

by Mr.. Barron to Postmaster-general
Burleson follows:
