President Wilsons' Attitude On - Federal Appointment : .. . Causing Cencera. i -. ii.-.. HE MAY SMASH PRECEDENT Progress ves Fight Appointment Of A. D. Watts To Po sltlon of Collector. Washington, April 2. Is President Wilson going to ignore the Senators and Repesentatives in Congress in regard to appointments to Federal of fices in the various States? t This question is causing no end of concern here and mav k-art to mn. tsiderable ill feeling in Congress of a character to embarrass legislation in . which the Administration is inter ested. For !he past 50 years the Senators from a State have been freely con sulted and their wishes followed in regard to the distribution of patron age. The custom has grown up of allowing the Representatives in the lower house to nominate postmasters in their districts, other offices being considered the patronage of Senators.1 The places included collectors of in ternal revenue and customs district attorneys, marshals and similar of fices. The subject is of timely interest now in Worth Carolina,' as well as other States,, and Senators are wait ing developments. If President Wil son should for any reason depart form the old established rule of consulting Democratic Representatives in Con gress, in regard to tilling orhces, it is not -known what system he will adopt in its place. There are at present two candidates for Collector of Internal Revnue loi the Western District A. D. Watts an. I A. H. Boyden. The so-called pro gressives are fighting Mr. Watts, wh is backed by Senator Simmons. On State offices the two Senators from North Carolina will confer to gether and endeavor to decide on some one who is satisfactory to both. In regard to postmasters they will per mit members of the House to name the occupants, provided the nominee has not been unfriendly to them. If President Wilson should see fit to turn down their nominations it is entirely probable that they will decline to make any further nominations ami exercise their privilege of passing upon the names of persons sent to the Senate for confirira ion. " There has been no i itiniation from the White House that President Wil- (8ir expects to ignore the wishes of rpemocratic senators, but such rumors have gained currency.
