Officer In Omaha
National G. 0. P. Control Will
Probabty, jfee Removal' of
. frresnt Postmaster Mar- '
'r, thai, District Attorney.
The transfer of the national gov-
;rnment from democrat icy to jc
jublican management next March
probably will carry with it some
important changes in high places in
'the federal building here. , There is
ux uncqucealed feeling of uncertain
ly among those upon whose hea
lave been placed democratic crowns.
These official replacements are
generally accepted as accompani-
' merits of a change of party control,
but the uncertainty of the extent of
" tfie jtnrnovcr offers material for con
siderable, gossip and speculation.
.. New Postmaster Probable.,
A change in -postmaster seems to
be in the cards, so.-nuch so that the
name of a prominent Omaha re
publican has . even been mentioned
for.' the place. H. S. Danielnow
serving, as acting' postmaster has
'not been, confirmed or formally ap-
. pointed.- At the time of the :Vath
of Charles Fanning Mr. Daniel was
named as acting postmaster. Mr.
Fannmffls term expired last Julv. On
March 31, 1917, President. Wilson
,Sssned,an order that the postmaster
gcieral. should notify the civil serv
jce commission of any vacancies In
potof fires and explaining that can
didates for the positions should sub
mit themselves ito open competitive
examinations. i
5 Takes Examination. s .1 '
An examination was called for in
connection with the Omaha vacancy,
the order for this stating that it Was
not-an examination under the civil
service rules, but underline order of
the v president. The-procedure is
that the civil service commission
should advise the postmastergen
verad of the highest qualified eligible
of any exanftnation. Last May Mr.
Daniel N took the examination with
, other applicants and he now states
that he has not been advised of
the result of that examination.
- There is a difference of opinion as
. to- the security of United States
Marshal J. C. Dahlman, who was
confirmed last June- for a term of
four years. Some take the view that
the marshal may be allowed to re
main by "courtesy.' '
May Run Fct Mayor.
Persons claiming to be political
confidants of MrDahlman recently
. asserted-that he will enter the city
campaign after the holidays ,and will
.make another try for mayor. The
1 last ,word fromvMr. Dahlman him
self on the subject was rather cryp
' 'tic. . ' v . ,
The collector of internal , revenue
has jurisdiction through the state
and now holds a position of im
mense patronage. The income tax
work and issuance of various per
mits has increased the work of the
office." 1 George L. Loomis of Fre
mp'n,-- the present incumbent, 'has
served five' years last August and
waS confirmed fo4ir years ago ; last
May. He may be removed by the
appointment of a successor- by the
' president. ' ' , ' - , '
' Changes Problematical.
The number of changes inthe in
ternal revenue office s problemati
cal. , The head of the department
is looked upon as certain to go if
precedents are followed. Most of
the 100 positions created . by 4he
- democratic administration, in this
department, are under civil service.
An Omaha man, who has-been
prominent in local democratic, af
fairs, is now in the internal revenue
department local offices. He stated
that he was not under civil service.
The term of United States District
Attorney Tom Allen expired last
summer. He is a brother-in-law of
W. J. Bryan. The matter of his ap
pointment will be brcngJit befonl the
next senate which will have-a re-
publican majority. A new district
attorney appears to be the most def
inite feature of the situation.
I Hanley May Go'.
J. H. Hanley holdshe position of
' federal prohibition enforcement ofr
ficer. A prominent Omaha . demo
crat stated yesterday that he looks
for a change in this office and he
predicts that there will be stricter
enforcement of the 18th amendment
funder the republican sdministrationi
Mr. Hanley's jurisdiction" covers the
vs.tate. There' are 10 good jobs now.
- 'connected with his office and four
j more' in prospect. The democratic
administration "has nude a rhpve to
place most of these positions under
civil service. .

An endless category it is. Most
of the blessings are so habitual that
we don't even think of being thank
ful for them"" Take the lovely falt
weather, foj instance. - Imagine how
it would be if you resided in Serra
