SENATORS HOLDING ON HAVE MORE PATRONAGE Republican Members to Have Naming of Men in Congress ional Districts Which Have Elected Democrats. WASHINGTON, L>. C Nov IS.— I Republican .Senaters who lost parts colleagues in thi- recent battle will: rind some comfort In the face that the disaster will greatly increase their control of appointments. It is the rule that Senators oi the i me party as the President divid. general Federal appointments in their States and postmasters in districts re presented he Democrats. A Repub lican Congressman has the privilege of naming the postmasters in his own ‘ district. Conditions resulting front the elec- > lion will glx - u survivng Reiitiblioan Senator not only the patronage con trolled by bis departing colleague and himself, hut an increase due P> the Democratic sweep. Main, s has four Republican repre sentatives in the present Congress. There will he two Democrats in the next Congress, aj»d the appointments in those districts will fall to Senator Frye, ns his new colleague will be a 1 .emoerat. According to unofficial llgures avail- j able here. Senator Root will choose the postmasters in twenty-two Demo cratic districts in New York State. That is double the number of Demo crats in the present Congress. in New Jersey the number of Dem- ; ocratlc atstricts h.i# been increased fjtim tlifii- to seven, and any body U« sirmg t*> be postmaster therein should see Senator Brings It is colleague, Senator aid retire utter hav ing *erv<.-d t«. • * terms. S nator Burton will lose tile ussu ciuticn of Senator I 'irk in »>hio. but lie will gain the alluring privilege ol l>icking out th. post masters In about seventeen Dent, < rut it districts. This is more than double the 'numb, r of districts that were divided between the two Senators m the present • ‘oti gress.
