It appears that Unlted Slates Senator Willard Sanla- ! bury has put one over on the Mary- ; land delegation !n Washington, and all that now remains to be done is : sending the name of the Delaware Senator's choice to the Senate by ' F resident Wilson. 1 The man slated for the berth I» : Alfred Ranghley, of Harrington, this 1 State. Just when the appointment As j In be announced was* not learned, mit , that it is sure to come, there appears 1 Senator Saulsbury. when seen to-j day by a reporter for THK EVENING ( JOURNAL, again stated that he was confident of Mr. Paughley's appoint-| ment. ''It' is perfectly proper Delaware should have the appoint I ment." he said. ■ to be no question. i thal ''Caroline and Kent counties along the Eastern Shore of Maryland have had It long enough. 1 We arc a» big as either of these | counties. Delaware was an in-! district up to twenty i dependent years ago when it was merged w ith . the Baltimore office, and In all that j lime we have not had the collector- } ship, and if is about lime we got It." , "The people in Baltimore shouldn't ! Teel so bad about it, but be sports and get in line with a winner," said Mr. Saulsbury with a laugh. Mr. Saulsbury was asked if Mr. Uaughley would be satisfied wiili the appointment of naval officer at the L°r Ing from Baltimore. He promptly replied. "Mr. Raughley is out for the collectorship and If is my in tcnllon to give the Slate Its proper standing.'' Mr. Saulsbury asked where suggestion of naming Mr. Raughley naval officer came from On being told if was being talked of In Haiti more he remarked he would like tolin know the names of the persons who|j were offering and dealing in such appointments. Senator Saulsbury ended the inter- 1 vie* wish this parting shot: "We'and never have had a collector of Internal Revenue from Delaware, but we are going to have one now." Mr. Raughley was a visitor In Wil mington this week, but returned to his home in Harrington yesterday. He spent some time with Senator Sauls bury and during hia stay wore a smile w hen friends greeted him. He had the same reply to make to all, that he was sure of the appointment, and that things were further advanced In (hia direction than most people knew B,, °u' Maryland Fights II.
