Taliaferro, to be a District Com- missioner, was made the subject of a passing remark by Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, during a bit of political byplay in the Senate yesterday afternoon. While Senator. Dill, Democrat, of ‘Washington, was delivering a speech on the direct primary sys- tem of choosing United States Sen- ators, Senator Norris interrupted to ask: “Has the Senator observed that recently the President of the United has appointed a man in the District of Columbia who acknowl- edges he is a Democrat?” Senator Norris then made refer- ence to the action by Republicans in the Senate several years ago “in which they demoted some Re- publicans who had not held up the faith,” and he contrasted that event with the recent appointment of a Democrat as District Commis- sioner.
