Those interested in Delegate Sutherland's political fences will bo in
te res red to know that he has almost a solid lineup in each division.
In the first division all three appointees are friendly to Sutherland.

lu the third division Judge Richie is friend!} with McBr:de and Sn:'i
trl.md, while Sherman Duggan Is a strong supporter of Sutherland, as M ■
Bride was supporting Coppernoll for 1' S attorney. lu the fourth il.i
sion the McBride-Marquam slate did not land an appointment.
One of th* remaining appointments is that of collector of customs,
iv ;,h position National Committeeman McRride aspires to. It is brlir\ed
that McBride will receive this appointment in view of the terrible manner
in which his cherished slate has been wrecked Km,".tod to Seattle by

the secretary of the treasury seeking a personal interview regarding his
