WASHINGTON. D. c.. Jan. l2-The
Michigan patronage fight Is on again
today and both the machine candi-
dates and the wilson pr0gressiyes
are well represented here 30 the re-
newal OF the struggle which has been
going on between the two factions OF
the states Democracy for many
months.
Ed. o. Wood arrived In Washing
ton this morning and announced that
he was here for two weeks stay for
the purpose OF transacting any and
all business which he could look after
in behalf OF machine men now seek
ing Jobs. Committeeman Wood Is in
q jovial mood, and while he intimates
he hopes for grand clean up in the
Job hunting business, he says that he
Is man of peace and he wants to
get what the machine wants without
being bitter and saying mean things
about anyone. He adds that he has
come TO point In his life when he
has decided that IL Is things OF the
next world which really count and
there Is no use In taking too serious
ly the fight for temporal power In
the life of the present. AT the same
time, however, Wood started his sti
hunt for jobs around the departments
bright and arly this morning.
Arriving on the same train with
Wood today was Representative
Beakes. Woods best joke today In
his talks with men around the capt
tai was that he and the progressive
congressman from the second district
came to Washington on the same car

delegations OF Wilson men generally
agreed was some joke"

amazoo, and w. J. Bill. OF Bay City
Other progressives will perhaps be
in Washington before the end OF the
week. and 1t Is also probable that
Wood will call down some OF the
machine men to help him out In the
work which is before him.
The postofflces which are now
vacant include Port Huron. Bay City,
Escanaba. Mt. Pleasant, Benton Har-
Dor, Schoolcraft and smaller places.
It II expected that the candidates OF
both Democratic factions win be con-
sidered by department officials during

FRANK FARRELL REMAINS
Ban johnson, Head of American League,
Says President Will Lead New
Workers

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-"The Amer
lean League will have absolutely moth
ing to do with the Federal League, the
so-called war or plans for peace, and
will never take back under any condi-
tions players who have jumped from
any of its clubs" declared President
Ban johnson yesterday. President John
son talked with President Shibe and
Manager Connie Mack, of the Athlet-
les, and left last night for Chicago.
johnson declined to divulge the ma
ture of the business which brought him
here from New York, where, it is be-
lieved, he had talk with Frank Far
rell and other stockholders of the New
York Americans regarding change of
ownership in that club. He said there
was nothing new in this matter, but de-
clared that Frank Farrell would remain
at the head of the club. He said no
action had been taken regarding Will
liam s, Devery, who, it was reported,
was to be ousted from the club, but
said that Devery was not anxious to
go much further in baseball after the
PAST season S experience. He stated
that there were several men anxious to
become financially interested in the
New York club. but nothing had been
done toward making a change.
1.-THE Federal League question is not
bothering the American League the
least Bit declared President johnson.
They are head over heels in debt and
| cannot see how they can carry on
their fight. We do not want anything
to do with either the league or the
players in it.
we are Informed that every club
in the Federal League lost money last
season. How much | am unable to say,
but | should think on an average of
from $4,000 to 100000 each. Their
grounds are not paid for and | am told
one club is so heavily in debt that
there is no possible chance of it's clear
ing itself. 1t cost one of the principal
hackers of the league half million
dollars last year, and don't believe
he wants any more of it,.
johnson also stated that it was re-
ported in Chicago that Weeghman was
unable to raise the money to carry out
his part of the merger between the
Federals and the owners of the Cubs
and that this was the reason the deal
did not go through.
