MOORE TOPASSON
.LAMBERTON'SA|DE
New Sheriff to Submit Names
to Mayor-elect Before Max
ing Appointments
WITHH0LDS ACTION NOW

Sheriff elect Robert F.. Bamberton
will not announce any appointments
until after Mayor elect Moore has
completed his cabinet.
Then the sheriff elect will submit to
the Mayor elect for his approval the
men he wishes to name for the four
most important Offices under the sheriff.
These arc the chief real estate deputy,
personal deputy, special deputy and the
sheriff's counsel.
"'I regard Mr.. Moore as the head of
the next administration, said Sheriff
elect IIamberton today. 'While my
office does not come under his admin
istration, nevertheless 7 want to go TO
him and submit the names Of those I
intend to appoint and ask him If he
has any strenuous objection to any Of
them.
eff he objects to any Of those
have in mind I will hold over that ap
pointment until we can thresh the mat =
ter out"
Mr.. Lamberton said he did not wish
to take up the matter of appointments
with the Mayor elect now because he
is too busy with his own appoint
ments."
Tho determination of the sheriff elect
to consult Mr.. Moore on his appoint
ments will be regarded in political cir
cles as further indication that the
new Mayor is to be the party leader in
the city.
1t is considered certain in political
circles that Frank J. Willard, special
deputy, will not be retained by Mr..
Lambertop. The special deputy always
is considered the closest employe to the
sheriff.
Willard is the first lieutenant Of
Sheriff Ransley in the Second ward
Mr.. Lamberton will probably select a
personal friend to succeed Willard.
''Are there many applicants foI
places in your ofice?" the sheriff elect
was asked.
"Yes, everybody wants to be rea
estate deputy" he replied. That is
the best salaried position in the of
fee. carrying salary of $4,000 year.
George McCurdy now is real estate
deputy.
II is almost certain that George s
| Russell will be retained as active so
licitor. The place now held by for.
mer Senator Owen r. jenkins as so
| licitor. it Is said. will be abolished.
In political circles John A. Voorhees,
secretary of the Republican Alliance, il
mentioned frequently for a place undeI
Sheriff I.amberton. Voorhees, alsc
has been mentioned for post under thu
| Moore administration.
