osf much of k ■ former attractive

Drought by Judge James Wicker

Editor’s note: Washington has
since ruled otherwise.
If Mr. Thiele wants the position,
probably will be his for the ask
ng. He has made an efficient
secretary. He has friends all over
he Territory and strong enough
lacking both locally and in Con
cress to insure his appointment
md confirmation.
NOT A FORGETTER
Generally, political observers and
writers agree that the President
elect doesn’t forget hostile criti
cisms. It doesn’t neeessiarily fol
low that he would seek revenge for
attacks made on him but he is not
■he kind of a man or politician who
s going to heap favors on someone
who has been dealing him political
misery for the better part of eight
years. H. I,. Mencken, in the cur
rent number of the American Mer
cury, refers to him as one inclined
"to cherish grudges.” If that is an
apt characterization, Alaska’s dele
gate to Congress is likely to find
poor pickings in the patronage
field under the Hoover Administra
tion, because he has given Hoover
an abundance of grudges to cher
ish.
APPOINTMENTS IN 1929

virtually sure to succeed himself.
U. S. Marshal Albert White of the
First Division has until May, 1930,

President Coolidge. He was strong
enough to win his job in face of de -
