Several months before Mr.. Wiltse's

notified him he was under charge of

move was evidently made to remove
him, but someone apparently took
cold feet and the matter was dropped
'"The friends of Hawkins, former

of large majority of the county COM
lmittee. SAINT Kirkpatrick, Democrat
ic candidate for congress in this dis
trict, long ago announced he was
for Mortland and at that time endea-
vored to have the appointment made.
The contest became a firm one We
are not in position to know how
the state chairman and national COM
mitteeman stood. Old SAINT was sue.
cessful in having his way. At this writ
ing it is not known when the senate
will take up some recent presidential
appointments, including Mr.. Mortland's
for confirmation. or when Mr.. Wiltse
will be asked to step out.

about by an intelligent cooperation be

Can you not set aside some particu.

school opens, to make sure everything

Employers might make special i'm
quiry of their employees as to their
children, and If necessary give them
