1904—Appointed secretary of war In

Would you expect him to be in favor
of smashing the political machine by
making all officers elective thereby
making the public servant answerable1
to the people instead of the appointing
power.
Recent events demonstrate the fact
that he was and is so subservient to
his boss that his letter of acceptance
could not be read by the people until
submitted and approved by his appoint-
or.
Think of Mr. Bryan submitting his
letter of acceptance to a boss, before
giving it to the people but he does not
owe his popularity or his bread and
butter earning to 26 years appoint-
ment to feed at the public crib.
