Washiugtoti. March 6 ? The real
work of President Wilson begun
yesterday. He arose at 7 o'clock
and was hi his office at the presi
dent's room in the Capital before
'eu, where he uiet the cabinet mem
bers and spent an hour in getting
acquainted, after which he sent
their names to the senate where
tiiev were ratified.
With the names of his cabinet,
which he sent for confirmation
also went the names of Edgar
Clark of Iowa and John Marble of
California, as members of the In
ter State Commerce commission.
These names were confirmed at the
same time.
Mr. Wilson issued the statement
that he should decline to see appli
cants for office personally except
when Invited and a time set for a
meeting.
One of the important statements,
which will affect the politicians, was
made by the President this morning
when he announced that he would
not handle the patronage of the
party. He believes that the heads
ci the various departments should
>h_- allowed to select such men for
subordinates whom they desire to
assist theni in carrying ont the
work which they desire to have
done, consequently to those heads
will go the power of making ap
pointments.
Another innovation wus started by
the president when he said tha^
hereafter the unwritten law which
forbids the president being directly
quote*!, would no longer be a law.
Hut that anyone who wanted to.
nia> quote> the words of the presi
dent.
The politicians of the Capitol be
lieve that Postmaster General Bur
l?*son will have complete control of
the postal matters and will conduct
them with a free hand. That ap
pointments made by him will go
through without influence from the
president, in fuct that is to be the
policy of the administration toward
all departments. Postmasters there
fore will look to Mr Burleson for
their jobs.
Senator Kern has been chosen
for the majority leader of the Sen
ate, while the House has settled
upon Representative Underwood as
the majority leader. Champ Clark
has been renominated speaker of
the House.
