PATRONAGE POWER
Filling Of $1,000 Offices by
President Has Nearly De.
stroyed Congress, He Says.

Declaring the present system whereby
the President has the selection Of over
1900 appointees 10 absurd. and favor
ing the filling Of all offices by popular
election. former Senator Jonathan
Bourne. jr, Of Oregon. has issued a
statement which Ia Of peculiar interest
In view Of the present patronage fight
between the White House and Senate.
Senator Bourne would take all patron
age power from the President, and
would have the public fill tho offices.
He holds tho present conflict indicates
. grave evil In our form Of Govern
ment. He says:
To-day over 10000 appointments are
made by the President by and with the
advice and consent Of the Senate over
1000 appOinements are made by the
President without confirmation by the
Senate.
Must Choose From 100000.
"There may be q dozen candidates for
each position. It 10 absurd to imagine
that any President can intelligently
select the most desirable mon for over
1000 offices out Of probably 100000
applicants.
"The result has been that the Presi-

differ and have courage to exercise
the inherent right and sworn duty OF

Would Take Away Patronage.
"The remedy. 1t seems to me, 10 the
adoption Of a constitutional amend
ment divesting the President Of his

ice Commission. which would have the
power Of Reinstatement or removal.
"Thus only can We destroy the evil
power Of patronage. free Congress
from subservienc to the White House.
and make Congress a coordinate
