congratulating themselves that the
threatened German sea blockade had
been a failure. The admiralty state

does not intend to attempt any play on
the inside: to bring outside pressure
to bear on those who have been chosen
BY the people for specified duties.
The Presidents clash with the Senate
over patronage is the warmer for the
belief in some quarters that he IL set
ting senator's aside for outsiders; that
the men who are In commission partly
for the purpose Of advising him are
subordinated by him to men who are
not in commission at all.
Those outsiders are not following
Mr.. Tanners course. They are getting
behind" applicants for Office. and land
ing some of their friends in important
places. Senators are not consulted. and
when they protest they are ignored.
If current gossip-current in all politi-
cal circles-may be accepted, the most
potent influence at the White House
in patronage matters is that of a man
not in office, nor seeking Office. AL
though highly qualified, he could not
be induced to accept Office. either from
the President or the people.
Politics without pull is. of course,
impossible. But 'pull'' should be con-

"Pull' and Politics.

Frederick c. Tanner conducted Gov.
Whitman's campaign. AS result, he
is very much in the picture in New
York. He is supposed to have a pull"
at Albany, and many applications are
reaching him to exercise it. At a din
ner eaten by republican club the
other night Mr.. Tanner said:
''It has become quite evident to me
the last few weeks that a large num-
ber of people still think that the state
chairman should exert the power OF
his position to compel or prevent leg
islation. l have on my desk more than
schemes, most of them presented to
me by persons interested in reform and
civic movements, with the request to
get behind this or that measure"

his chairmanship and services. Mr.. Tan
ner put his foot down on 1t. He pro-
nounced il a mistaken conception, and
announced he would do no such thing,
As citizen he would. he said, take
an interest in public questions and ex-
press opinions about them, but would
not undertake to capitalize his posi-
tion in behalf of or In opposition to
anything or anybody.
A most wise and judicious stand.
Mr.. Tanner holds no commission from
the voters of New York. He is neither
an executive nor a legislator. He was
picked for the chairmanship of the re-
publican campaign committee by the
republican candidate for governor. and
answered to him for the work he did.
He is a very worthy and able man and
