an earnest advocate OF the nomination OF woodrow
Wilson by the Baltimore convention and of his election
in the campaign that followed It. Mr. Salisbury saw
TO it, however that this asprant for the United states
senatorship which he coveted was kept in the back

personal and political friend Of Secretary of state
Bryan and that presumably t was Mr. Bryan VINO
through Assistant Secretary OF State Osborn onered
to Mr. Handy the $500 position that Senator Sauls-
hurry has prevented him obtaining The question
that now presents itself is whether Mr. Bryan will per-
init senator Salisbury to crafty his faotonal hatred
of a defeated Senatorial adversary by blocking a
state Department appointment which the Secretary Of
state and his assistant wish to make.
Il has been said many times that one Of the fail

opponent and that IL makes little difference TO him
whether that opponent be a Republican or Demo-

that accusation II also viii give enewed interest

to take his orders from Mr.. Raughey Another cir
