State Auditor Says He Knows No

RICHMOND. We. March y. 1914.
Appointments made by President Will
son appear to have been emiucntly sat
isfactory to every one now in the state
with the exception of the defeated as
pirantS. There is q bit of soreness and
will be for some time on that score. but
within a short time it is expected to wear
away. Strange as it may seem. every
man named for office is recognized as
part of the organization. There was OPP
position to the appointment of State
Senator John NJ. Hart to the position of
collector Of internal revenue for the
western district of Virginia. hut that was
not due 10 the fact that Mr.. Hart is not
regular in every way. hut to tho belief
that the naming of Gen. Rufus \. Ayers
Of Big Stone Gap would have been a
wise political move. Gen. Ayers lives IN
the ninth congressional district. the only
republican district in the state, and II
was said that his appointment would
mean much in the way of achieving
victory for the democrats in the coming
congressional election. 1t was for this
reason that Gen. Ayers had the support
of Senators Martin and Swanson.
Report from Washington WAS to the
effect that a stormy interview had taken
place between = representative of the
President and the two senators. and the
declaration was reported to have been
made that when the nominations came up
tney would he opposed on the floor of the
Senate. This is not believed to be cor
rect. how ever. for while the senators may
feel disappointed over the result in that
pGe instance, they have every reason to
feel encouraged at the general result,
having Won five of the six appointments

Of the best known bankers of the city a
protest against making public the in

has declared that the records in his office
are open to the public. that the news
papers are free to print what they like.
and that he SHOWS of no way 10 stop

that in many of the counties and cities

the grand juries added many millions of

ranges from so to 90 per cent. Plain
