POSITIONS III lUSU

WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN SAYS
FACTIONS FIGHT ALL AP
POINTEES TO OFFICE
The Washington Past of recent date
published the following relative to Al
aska appointments:
“It is impossible to get the perfect
man to hold office, because that indi
vidual does not exist, according to
the White House Spokesman. Speak
ing about the trouble which has re
sulted from the effort to obtain the
type of men who can be depended on
to do good work for Alaskan appoint-,
ments it was explained tha Coolidgf
has done his best with the material
available. There are two factions in
Alaska, according to the Spokesman
! and each opposes to the final degree
selection of its opposition for anv pos
I ition.
The field of selection of necessity
is limited there, because of every el
even whites one is on the government
' payroll. Those who are out want to
; get in, acording to the spokesman, and
the chief industry seems to be to jim
my the incumbents out of their jobs.
Because it has been considered best
to limit selection from persons already
native to the Territory, the factional
differences have been unduly empha
sized. It was also stated that even
though the President were *o go out
. side of the field and take men for ap
pointment from the United States be
fore they could be on the job more
than a month or two they would
come under The same barrage of op
position which has so seriously hand
icapped other officials.

teneaude’s operators from her beauty
