Applicants for Federal Positions Ignor
ing Organization and Carrying Con
tests Direct to President. '
Republican party leaders are
becoming aroused over the num
bers of applicants for federal
positions in Arkansas, who are
announcing their intention of
cttfrying their cases to the Presi
ded, regardless of the state com
mittee’s action. And to make
matters worse, reports from
./ashington are all to one effect,
lhat the President will not follow
the committee’s recommenda
tions entirely, but use his own
judgment and the result may be
a mixed lot of appointments,
representing both sides of the
present party controversy.
the State Republican, which is
allied with the Remmel wing, ex
plains the appointment of S. W.
Andrews for postmaster at Wal
nut Ridge over C. W. White,
| who had been recommended by
I the/state committee, as due to
* the fact that White is cashier of
one of the banks there and the
/, postal department has made it
' ) a policy not to appoint bank of
ficers to postmasterships on ac
of the money-order system,
i is supposed in a sense to
»te with the banks.
P. Parker of Fort Smith,
ate for marshal in the
district and anti-Powell
republican is being
ned by Senator William
of Missouri, who stands
to the president.
Remmel will undoubted
endorsed by the state- com
mittee for marshal in the eastern
^^district, but Fowler has an
jkj^d that he will ignore this
V* carry his cause to the
^^HH^THouse.
A. Elliott, register of the
Mjamden land office is another
publican who is ignoring the
ichine and on Saturday called
the President.
so it is with Frank you
mans and a score of others who
might be mentioned. Just what
the President is going to do, no
one knows. As in Mississippi, it
result in a score or more of
Democrats being honored
by a Republican president. The
Arkansas delegation in congress
are supporting Roosevelt on his
and railway rate legisla
and he may turn a few good
11ms their way in recognition
their services.

Vaughn Gets Injunction.
Little-Rock, Dec. 16.—Sheriff
Ben Vaughn, the Republican
sheriff of Madison county, se
cured from Chancellor T. H.
Humphreys, of Fayetteville, a
temporary restraining order to
prevent State Auditor A. E.
Moore from turning over to J. P.
Hamilton, who was appointed by
Governor Davis as collector, the
books of the collector’s office for
that county. Vaughn was elect
ed sheriff and collector as a Re
publican, and at the last .session
of the legislature, a bill intro
duced by Senator F. 0. Butt was
passed separating the offices,
thereby making a vacancy which
the governor proceeded to fill by
appointing a Democrat. It is
claimed by the Republicans that
it was a party move to divert the
greater part of the emoluments
of the office to another. The
temporary restraining order -in
the case, which is to test the
validity of the law, was served
dpon Auditor Moore yesterday
afternoon and there will be a
hearing before Chancellor Bour
land today on the question of
making the injunction perpetual.
