LOCAL c. 0. P.
SEEK PLUMS
Many Choice Jobs to Be Filled
When lncumbents Are
Released.

Now that the District Commits
sionerships have been settled. local
Republicans are turning their at
tention to other political plums
which are usually given to Wash
ingtonians.
Foremost among the places being
sought is the office of. District At
torney.
LAsKEY's JOB OPEN.
This office, which is now held by
John e. Laskey, Is vacant any time
that the President chooses to name
lis successor. Mr.. Laskey made the
announcement shortly before the In
auguration of President Harding
that he would step out willingly at
the earliest opportunity.
This office is being much sought
after. At the present time there are
about ten strong candidates for the
place The place Is looked upon with
favor by most lawyers, as 1t is step
ping stone to the bench.
There Is not much political patron
age with the place, the six assistants
being the principal places which he
has at his disposal
The Recorder of Deeds 10 another
place that 10 being sought by many
washingtonians of the Republican
faith. The office is not a term one
and the incumbent can be removed by
the President at will. The place pays
$4,000 a year and carries with 1t the
appointment of about forty-hve en-
ployes of the office of the Recorder
of Deeds. 1t has usually been the
custom, however, for the new record
er not to disturb the office force with
the exception Of q few places such a.
private secretary.
Next in line is the office Of United
States Marshal for the District Of
Columbia This office pays $4,000 q
year and Is a term one. The term
of the incumbent. Maurice Splain, ex-
pires in June, 1922. However, 1t 10
pointed out that the marshal can be
removed by the President at will.
although such a procedure has not
been resorted to in the past forty
years.
CHANCE SLATED TO GO.
This office also has the privilege
Of appointing about fifty employees.
There are thirty-eight deputy mar
shaIs and several office employees.
which go to make up the total.
The City Postmastership is another
plum that is being scrutinized by local
Republicans. THE term of the in
cumbent, Merritt o. Chance does not
expire until February, 1924, it is said
by those whe have looked into the
Situation, but this office can also be
vacated by the President.
Postmaster Chance, Is former
chief clerk Of the Post Office Depart
ment and has given a good administra-
tion Of his office. He has a host of
friends among the business men of
the city and several influential friends
in fraternal organizations. He has al
ways been looked upon as a sort of a
Republican. but the fact that he did
, no work for the party in the last
campaign is looked upon as a sigr
that he will have to give way to some
one who did give assistance.

TEN MEN MARKED.

There are at least ten men here
whose lives, common talk holds, are
not worth a pinch of SNUFF from the
moment the verdict is in. 1t matters
not which way the verdict goes.
Williamson, for seven weeks the
town Of fearful suspense, has over
night changed into a "town of trigger
dread" People who have gone about
their business tight-mouthed for
nearly a year are beginning to talk
And all the talk revolves around the
intangible yet omnipresent dread OF
trouble which everybody believes will
follow the verdict as inevitably as
night follows the day.
