held 1t open for him in the event he
should change his mind after he had
said no. To the everlasting shame
of Ohio. be 1t said that William @.
Sharpe OF Elyria, who didn't say no
even the first time, is down on the
list of niggardly 500, thereby OBJ
tanning the small financial rating &C.
corded Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
Secretary of Commerce Redfield and
Attorney-General McReynolds, now
on the Supreme Court bench. The
post of minister to Uruguay, to which
Sam Carey of Cincinnati and other
Ohio patriots aspired, was perhaps a.
little out of their class, for it went to
John L. DeSaulles of New York. q
$4,000 contributor. The japanese en-
bassy went to George w. Guthrie Of
Pittsburgh, who contributed only
$1,000 in cash but an inestimabIe
amount in the matter in political
service. Jos. E. Willard of Virginia,
selected for the post in Spain, put up
double that amount, and drew a less
important position. w. E. Gonzales
of South Carolina, minister to Cuba
isn't even in the William G.. Sharpe
class, for the 800 he contributed is,
in part the donation of his brother.
VIM. Bayard Hale, who holds no
regularly salaried office, but who, a.
President Wilson's personal represen-
tative of special agent in Mexico, gets
his allowances out of the State de-
partment's secret fund was a mere
500 contributor. Meredith Nichoi-
son, who was nominated to be min
lister to Portugal, but whose nomina-
tion is withdrawn, is down for 5000.
H. M. Pindell of Illinois, who was to
have been ambassador to Russia for
a year or so. in order that he might
get the social prestige which the
post inevitably carries. but who re-
signed after the first of his nomina-
ton had brought embarrassment to
the President and humiliation to his
sponsor. Senator James Hamilton
Lewis, of Illinois, who donated $1O0.
Charles J. vopicka of Illinois, now
minister to Rumania, altho his free
and easy mannerisms. displayed en-
route to his post. nearly brought
about his recall. is on the list for
s400.
Another one of the heavy contrib
utors who failed to get recognition
as deserving Democrat" was Mr..
Thomas D. Jones of Chicago. He
contributed magnificent total of
$20,500. President Wilson named
him for membership on the Federal
Reserve Board. but this one-time con-
nection with the Harvester Trust
made him shining mark for the on
slaughts of the Progressives in Mr..
Wilson's party. To spare Mr.. Wilson
further annoyance, Mr.. Jones with
drew and paved the way for corr
promise selections, which included.
among others, Friedrich A. Delano.
of Chicago, who is on the list for on
ly 500; C.S. Hamlin. of Boston, an
other 500 man, and John Shelton
Williams of Virginia, comptroller Of
the currency. a millionaire. who sep
arated himself from total of 5000.

Burleson gave $575.
Among the postmasters. A. H. Boy
den, of Salisbury. N. C. is the king
pin. He contributed $4,000. precisely
one years pay under the position
which he is now holding. Charles S
now postmaster at Gettys-
burg. came along with $2l4.60.
most of the postmasters on
The list are down for not more than
500. Even Bob Gordon. of Ohio, sub
elected serseant-at-arms of
the House of Representatives of Con-
gress. contributed 800. Josh T.
