Nothing Definite Ascertainable
With Regard to Distribu

What Is Under CMI Service and What
Positions Will Be Available
March 4.
dent Taft's order. Whether he will re
voke it, nobody knows.
2. Most of the places worth having,
except those which have to be con
firmed by the senate, have been for
some time under civil service. This
greatly lessens the number of posi
tions formerly available.
3. For 12 years the custom has been
for federal officials appointed for four
years, such as postmasters, United
States marshals, etc., to serve out their
terms unless they took part in politics
during their terms. Whether this cus
tom will be continued It is impossible
to say.
4. President Taft is said to have de
clared his intention to fill all vacan
cies as soon as they occur. But wheth
er the senate will confirm his ap
pointees, or bold up thlr nominations,
it is Impossible to even guess.
5. Tbe custom has been for the pat
ronage of any particular state to bs
distributed through the senators and
representatives thereof who are of the
same political persuasion as the ad
ministration, if any such there be, and
if none suchthen through the nation

CONGRESSMAN-ELECT FROM FOUR
TEENTH DISTRICT.
(Special Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Nov. 23. Everybody
wants to know about the distribution
of patronage under"' ment representatives are depended up-
f2fi ' the new adminis-on to recommend postmasters in their
WfCAjijj2 tration. Everylown districts while senators are de
' T "?.l memhpr rr rnn-1 Deeded UDon to recommend nostmast-
i - -
ers In congressional districts not rep
resented by congressmen of the same
political faith as the president. Sen
ators are also depended upon to recom
mend for marshalships and offices of
that kind, including departmental po
sitions and places in the consular and
diplomatic service, and in fact all offi
ces not local. Of course, as a rule,
the senators consult with representa
tives In these mat-ers, all trying to do
the moBt possible for their constituents.
6 What scheme for selecting posV
nasters, etc., President Wilson and his
cabinet may adopt is wholly conjectu
ral. Some advocate one plan and some
another. Consequently it might be
best for those Intending to be appli
cants to let matters rest until the sit-
member of con
gress of the dem
ocratic faith is re
ceiving inquiries
and applications by
tbe hundred.
I came on to
Washington at an
earlier date than I
intended, to try to
discover the pros
pects of what will
be done in a gen
eral way, but have
found out nothing
valuable or tangi
ble. There is much
guessing and news
paper talk; but
that is all. All
things concerning the distribution of
patronage are up in the air. so to
speak. President-elect Wilson, who is
resting In Bermuda, has not, so far as
Is generally known, given any indica
tion of his Intention on this subject.
Nothing definite will be known until
he speaks.
OXI.V THINGS CERTAIN.
The only things certain at this writ
ing are:
1. President Taft has by executive
order placed all fourth class postmas
ters under the civil service, that Is all
postmasters drawing less than $1,000
per annum. This means that the pres
ent fourth class postmasters will hold
for life, or during good behavior, un
less President Wilson revokes PreBl-
CLYDC rt
TAVuNNCR
Uhtlon clears up somewhat.
MAW IT.ACE9 TO FILL.
It has been figured out by some of
the newspaper correspondents in the
na'ional capital that President Wilson,
when he enters the White House on
March 4, will find that he has the pow
er to fill directly 10,839 government po
sitions. They declare the appointive
places requiring confirmation are di
vided as follows:
Departments State, 441, treasury,
736; war, (excluding army) 6; Justice,
383; postoffice, 7,953; navy (exclud
ing officers) 11; interior, 272; agri
cultural. 3; commerce and labor (ex
cluding census) 28; civil service com
mission, 4; government printing office,
1; Interstate commerce commission,
7; and library of congress, 1;
The places not requiring confirma
tion by the sena'e are thus divided:
Departments State, 94; Justice, 846;
interior, 44; commerce, 8; civil ser
vice commission, 1.
