ington Correspondent for
The Herald
Lo.Follet te's Magazine, edited by
ITnlted Slates Senator Robert M, la
Koiiette. republican, pays fine com
l)iment to Clyde II. Tavenner, who
has been acting for some time past,
as our special Washington corre
spondent, and who was eleeted to
congrees from the Fourteenth Illi
nois District. Senator l.a Toilette,
editorially, says:
"Clyde H. Tavenner goes to con
gress from the Fourteenth III in "is
district. Tavenner is a talented
young man, and a progressive dem
ocrat. As a newspaper correspor d
ent at the national capital, he earn
ed a reputation for integrity, indus
try and insight into the problems of
government. (liven the choice of
tw brogrssstve candidate to rep
resent them, the voters selected Ta
venner. We believe this oo&fldence
in Tavenner is not misplaced His
i a t performance's give asstirance of
a creditable record in the House,
against machine domination, and for
progressive principles."
This endorsement may be accepted
as unprejudiced, because Senator Ln
Follette's magazine is republican
The fact is, Tavenner won almost
solely on the merits of his Washing
ton letters which have appeared in
this newspaper, and which we will
continue to publish exclusively in
this territory.
The extent of the magnificent t rib
ufe paid to his work as a writer can
bo best understood when, It is con
sidered that he won out by 1.200 in
a district which is normally from
SJ500 to lt.000 republican, and which
baj not been represented in con
press by a dl mocrat in L'U years.
Tavenner did not have both a re
publican and progressive candidate
against hiiu, a condition which pre
vailed In many districts and which
would have made success easier. His
opponent was the regular republican
nominee, who also had the advan
tage of the strong endorsement and
support of the prog i eei Ive party,
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER
Special Washington Correspondent to
this Newspaper
Washington, Dec. 12. Every body
wants to know about the distribution
of patronage under the new adminis
tration. EVery member of congress
of democratic faith is receiving In
quiries sad applications by the hun
dred. I came on to Washington at an
earlier date than I intended, to try
to discover the prospects of what
will be done in a general way, but
have found out nothing valuable or
tangible. There is much guessing
and BOW pa per talk; but that Is all.
All things concerning the distribu
tion of patronage are up in the air,
so to speak. President-elect Wilson,
who is resting in Hermuda, has not,
so far as is generally known, given
any indication of his intention on
this suitject. Nothing definite will
be known until he speaks.
Thd nl.v things certain at this
writing are:
I. President Taft has by executive
order placed ail the 4th class post
masters under the civil service, that
is, all postmasters drawing loss
than $1,(100 per annum. This means
that the present 4th class postmas
ter! will hold for life, or during good
behavior, unless President Wilson re
vokes President Taft's order. Wheth
er he will revoke it nobody knows.
X. Most of the places worth hav
ing except those which have to be
confirmed by the senate have been
for some time under civil service.
This greatly lessens the number of
positions formerly available.
3. For twenty years the custom
has he ti for federal officials ap
pointed for few years, audi as post
i.i..siers, if. B. uiafettetSi et ., to
s. i v out their rnis unless they
took pail in polices during their
terms Whether this cut alll be
eocilnued it is Un possible to say.
4. President Tafl is said have
declared his intention to fill all va
cancies as soon as they occur. Bill
Whether Hie senate will conTinn his
appointee, or bold UP their noiiiiiia
t ion.-, it is impossible to even guess.
I. The cusiom lias ueen lor t tie
patronage of any particular state to
be distributed through the senator!
and represeutai IVOfl thereof who are
of the same political persuasion us
the administration, if any such there
be, and if none such, then through
the national committeeman or some
dependable friend or friends. Under
this arruugeinent representatives are
depended upon to recommend post
masters m their own districts While
senators are depended upon to re
commend postmasters in congression
al distri ts not represented by con
gressmen of the same political faith
as the president Senators are alM
depended uion to reoomnunend (or
niarshalsiiips and offices of thai
kind, including depart mental posi
Hons and places m the consular and
diplomat i service, and in fact all of
ficcs not loctl. Of course, as ;i rule,
the senators commit with represent
atives in these natters, all trying to
do Hie most possible for their con
stituents. ti. What schema for selecting
post Blasters, etc. President Wilson
and his cabinet may adopt is wholly
conjectural. Some advocate one
plan and some another. Consequent
ly it might be best for those intend
lug to be applicants to lei matters
rest until the situation clears up
somewhat
It has been figured out by some
of the newspaper correspondents in
the national capital that Mr. Wilson,
when he enters the White House ou
March 4, will find that be has the
power to fill directly 10.N9 gov cm
uient 'positions They declare the
appointive places requiring confirma
tion are divided as follows:
Depart men t a -State, 441; Treasury.
73d; War (excluding uriny 6; Jus
tice, IM; Postofflce, 7.I53; Navy (ex

Agriculture, :t; Commerce and Labor
(excluding census) 28; Civil Service
Commission, 4; Government Printing
OfflO, 1 1 Interstate Commerce Com
mission. 7; and Library of Congress.

The places not requiritiK confirm. i

The First Day in Congress
Assuming that Thomas B Keid
was right when he described in
statesman as a dead politician, then?
we have in the reassembling of con
gress the greatest array of states
men ever collected under the copitol
dome. The shattered phalanxes of
republicans are on dock, but lfko
Christians in Turkey they wonder
what Is to happen next. Never for
getful of the Ides of November they
wonder whether anything worse can
possibly happen. Not a single dem
ocrat need be told that he is a part
of "Hie whole show" he known it.
It was considered quite natural that
Speaker Champ Clark should break
two great mallets in less than tin
hour and a half of the first session,
but one cannot help wondering how
many the speaker would have re
quired in the same length of time
had the majority raid been in force
in the- Baltimore convention. "The
House will be in order," he would
declare, giving at the same time
mighty whacks with a mighty gavel
But surely good old Champ while
repeating this phrase sixty times a
minute for eighty odd minutes on the
opening clay of congress, could nev
er have meant it once, another strik
ing Illustration in progress since
George Washington confessed the
cherry tree incident.
Strange 'though it may seem, dur
ing the continuous round of ovations
in the house on the opening day,
ex-speaker Cannon, erstwhile- :ir ii
enemy of every Democratic policy,
was accorded the monster ovation of
the day. In March he will have
completed nearly forty years sei
vice in the house, and though Offi
cial Cannon and Cannonism have
been assailed throughout the coun
try, yet Cannon, the "Uncle Joe"
kind, is so likable and unique that
not even the most partisan demo
crats in Hie Chamber attempted to
refrain from showing their kindly
feeling toward the good old scout
whose scalp has so long been eager
ly sought. Included in the cheering
game, whic h was eciual in velocity to
a football rush, and In vociferous-
nesB a rival of the motor cycle, four
governors-elect were given distinct
recognition, they being Cox of Ohio,
Robinson of Arkansas, Sulzer of
New York, and Han OS of North Da
kota. The opening of the senate was a
sober affair, as the hour glass cf
life had spent the sands, and three
of the members of the worhl's great
est legislative body had in a lew
short weeks fallen with the autumn
leaves to enrich mother earth. Vice
President Sherman was gone, and
so were Senators I ley burn and Bay
tier. The session was devoted en
tirely to the memory of those who
had fallen, and with grave and
thoughtful demeanor those in the
senate observed the brief proceed
ings. In the evening as the writer
of this paragraph was on his way
home lie met Senator LaFollette, and
the latter also homeward bound,
trudged along with bowed head. The
impatient gladiator like the other
senators had been unable to shake
off the depression of a scene which
emphasised the insignificance of
man, inasmuch as in a few short
weeks three mighty leaders of Hie
though I and action of the nation
had been called from life's labors to
their everlasting abode in the- king
doni of (Sod.
30.000 Good Reasons
A democratic argument is that
supposing there are .'10,000 fourth
.lass post masters in the United
States, there are an exactly equal
number of reasous why the incom
ing president should annul President
Taft's order placing this class of of
ficials In the civil service.
Protecting the Sere and Yellow Leaf
The readers of this payor win not
be surprised to learn that Repre
sentative Lindbergh of Slinnesoia,
who is Hie original luoney trust bust
er, did not wait to get ills rubbers
off before lie- commenced bombard
ing congrctss at the opening of the
session, to reprove its money trust
investigating committee. Lindbergh's
hat covers more thau the ordinal. v
amount of gray matter, and be has
n't much patience with a. committee
that spends mouths in foolish at
tempts to gefl evidence (hat might
implicate a whole lot of capitalists
in engineering high finances lie
just takes that much for granted,
and he wants congress to have Hie
information necessary to properly
legislate to prevent a few he-id
hankers in New York dictating the
policy of thousands of their one
pendents throughout Hie country,
who in turn hold the local financial
situations in hand. Besides this
phase of the legislative calculations
there is the proposed scheme for
the Central bank, the Aldnch plan.
etc-, which were initiated for the
purpose of patching up the holes In
the country's banking system ; and
'here seems to be a well defined un
dercurrent that congress will era
long lake up and solve some of
these problems that are vital to de
positor and which will likewise act
as safeguards to reputable bankers,
any of whom will tell you In confi
dence that when everything la run
ning all right banking la the finest
business In the world, but when de
positors get panicky, then oh well,
why remind the banking fraternity erf
the difference, since some of them
might have been in business In HW3.

Wants Direct Election of President
Fresh from Nebraska, where he
lms received one of the handsomest
endorsements given any man. Con
gressman Norris, who will sit in the
innate after March 4, says that "the
electoral college Is nothing better
than a bump on a log and loti ago
outgrew its usefulness : " and firmly
believing this he will use his utmost
efforts to secure a constitutional
amendment in order that voters may
vote directly for president and vice
president.
Judges in the Expectancy
The president lias again sent the
naiiu-s of Richard R. Sloan of Arizo
na and Clinton W. Howard, of tin
state of Washington, to the senate,
asking that his appointment of these
men to judgeships be confirmed. The
senate had the performances of a
balky horse distanced when these
names were before it last session,
and it Is not suspected that the pow
er of the president with the unruly
solons has greatly increased
