IFrom n stan Correspondent.I


WASHINGTON. May 12.--It is get
ting to be recognized regulation now
when a postoffice or other appoint
ment is announced as made, or about
TO be made, that the friends of the
disappointed candidate send down a
protest To the effect that the
only simon pure Woodrow Wilson
Democrat is left out in the cold, inti-
mating at the same time that the
other chap who got the job or Is
booked 10 get it, is a Democratic
maverick
The latest instance on record is that
Of James J. Gowley. who has been
named by Senator Hughes for the
postmastership of Paseaic. Thomas
A. Hopkins wanted that Office and his
friends are now asserting and declar-
ing that Hopkins was and is the only
genuine 1S-kt. -pure-W. w.
Democrat Of Passaic. They have sent
protests down to the postoffice depart
ment against the appointment Of
Cowley, and promise that if his nam
is sent IN to the Senate for confrma-
| ton they will file a protest with Sen
ator James Z. MARITIME, who is beccm-
| ing recognized as the great national
| hold-up artist. According to the IN
written laws Of the Senate. when one
senator from a State objects to the
appointment made by or through an
| other senator or Congressman from
| that State, said appointment is held
| up indefinitely.
! o'HanIon appointment Held Up.
In this way and manner the con-
| firmation Of John J. O'Hanlon. who
! has been named postmaster for South
Orange, is being held up. Senator
MARITIME declared that he would in
| terpose no objection to the confirna-
ton of Mr.. O'Hanlon for postmaster.
But when his name was sent in
| on the day following this deeIara-
ton ne had it held up. The senator
! explained his action by saying that
| on that very day he had received
| some very strong protests from
number of members of the Wood ow
! Wilson League of Essex County
against Mr.. O'Hanlon.
! To an Evening Star correspondent
| he said:
THE protests came in about the
! same time the name was sent in
| to the Senate. There was no OPP
! portunity of having the name held
back, so l was compelled, as a mat
| ter of courtesy to my friends and
constituents. to hold up the confr-
nation. They gave me to under
stand that a delegation would be
sent here from South Orange to sub
| stantiate certain allegations. I will
wait to hear what they have TO say
before anything further is done with
| this postoffice appointment"
! The Situation in Passaic.
| In the matter of the Passaic post
office appointment, Senator Hughes
declares that his man was and is an
ardent supporter of the President.
| He said that he had heard that
one of the first men to come forward
| and congratulate Mr.. Cowley when he
| was named for the place was Mr.
| Hopkins, who had been his opponent
It is known that the New Jersey
| element in and around the White
| House is DESTROYS of healing the po-
litical sores in the Presidents home
State. For that reason the members
of the Woodrow Wilson League have
been privately given to understand
that it is time for them TO forget party
differences and align themselves I'M
der one banner. because the party will
need all the votes II can get by the
time the Panama tolls question and
the antitrust bills are disposed o. in
