Democrats Will Block Appointments
by Taft.
Washington Dispatch, ."rd.
President Taft sent more than 200
recess appointments to the Senate
today and immediately indications of
a movement among some of the
Democratic Senators to prevent their
confirmation became evident. Senator
Gore, it was said, would have the ac
tive support of several colleagues in
heading the movement.
The campaign was directed espec
ially against nominations, it was said,
which would have been postponed
from time to time thus bringing the
new terms close to the beginning of
the Democratic Administration.
Democratic Senators claimed that
the President already had deprived
the Democrats of the privilege of ap
pointing 50,000 postmasters by plac
ing them within the Civil Service law
by a single order.
Your Resolution
should be a plain, simple, earnest struggle
for a competency and ultimate success will
be yours. The Equal Opportunity use us to take care of
your savings. Start a savings account with us now.
