DFJMOCRATS WHO HELPED
HOOVER TO GET REWARD
WASHINGTON.—Recognition of
the leaders of Hoover Democrats of
the South in the matter of federal ap
pointments in that section is likely to
to adopted fey Jloov^r as «
cardinal policy. „ ■
There are also indications that in
the Eastern and Western States reg
ular organization leaders will be re
qu rnsult on appointments
with those who had charge of the
Hoover pre-convention campaign in
those cases where the Hoover follow,
ers are not now identified with the
regular party.
While there has been no announce
ment of the methods to be pursued i»
selecting federal oflictrs in State*
south of the Mason and Dixon line,
the general expectation is that this
will be largely in control of a com
mittee for each State on which Hoo
ver Democrats will have membership,
although they will by no means be in
the majority.
The committee plan of handling
patronage is being tried out in New
York State, where Edmund Machold,
State chairman, Charles Hilles, Re
publican national committeeman, and
William Hill, leader of the independ
ent Hoover-for-President organiza
tion, are functioning as a committee.
A number of appointments, including
three judgeships, are to be made in
New York State, but so far the com
mittee has not made any recommen
dations.
