Chiffon Exhibits A
Change of ront
NOW FAVORS VANCE FOR
POSTMASTER AT
CLARkSBU RG.
No One Can Explain Remarkable
Attitude-Marshalships Up
in the Air.
(ey Charles Brooks smith,

WASHINGTON. ID. C. Jan. IS
something has happened to change
the attitude OF Senator Chiffon to-
ward the appointment OF J. Carl
Vance as postmaster at Clarksburg.
Ihls, Is evident by the fact that Chill
ton has been trying 20 get vance's
nomination which is before the Sen
ate taken up and confirmed II will
De remembered that Vance was nom-
mated by President Wilson. upon
TIE recommendation of John W.
Davis. last August. but the special
session OF congress ended without
him being confirmed. When the reg
ular session convened his name was
sent back. and Il has been hanging
nre ever since. The nomination OF
Vance was not particularly pleasing
10 Chiffon, and he did nothing par
ticularly 70 get Il confirmed Now.
however. he has begun TO show an
interest. and those who are interest
cd IN the case. but not on the inside
OF IL. are wondering what has occur
red TO cause Chiffon 10 switch and
10 show desire 10 have the nomi-
nation OF Vance taken up and con-
nrmed. But that IN the situation
now. AS late as last Friday Chiffon
made an unsuccessful attempt to
have the nomination OF Davis friend
taken M. considered and confirmed,
hHA NNHAN s7fNtlhT 1oU was success
tul In having action deferred How
long confirmation can he held up.
now that Chiffon has been brought
around to an interest In the matter.
remains to be seen
Is Puzzle.
What manner Of pressure has been
brought TO bear on him to change
his attitude Is also a phase OF the
case that interested observers would
have rrh
guess Is that he does not care 10 re-
main in the position OF opposing the
wishes OF President Wilson. who
made the appointment of Vance upon
the recommendation of his friend.
John W. Davis. and sent Il back
promptly when It failed of confirr,a-
tion at the special session, for Chill
ton has some appointments which he
wants made this month. and which
are due to be made. the same being
TWO marshalships. That he doesn't
care To continue in the position OF
opposing the Presidents wishes is
accepted as a matter OF course.
Hence, Vance has acquired a support
from a source that has up till now
been REGARDED az decidedly hostile to
his fortunes. The confirmation OF
vance Is likely TO be made at any
time, and just as likely not 10 be
made Tor some time TO come II ts
