WITHHOLDING PATRONAGE
(By Alaska News Bureau)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24? In
an interview today Representative
Norris of Nebraska charged the
President with singling out the House
enemies of Speaker Cannon for pun
ishment by withholding patronage an
jeclared they would not be intimidat
ed into silence by any combination
between the Prsident and Speaker.
There was no attempt in adminis
tration circles to deny that President
Taft is withholding certain customary
congressional patronage from those
insurgent senators and representatives
who, adherents of the President say,
show no disposition to support the ad
ministration measures.
President Taft is reported as ta-king
the attitude that if an obligation rests
upon him to give certain patronage to
a representative of his party there is
a reciprocal obligation upon the rep
resentative to support the President.

It is possible that the hills hide 'he

bet that half of Skagway's population
will be looking tonight for the fam
ous comet that is viewed only once
in a generation.
