J., Jan. 21.—Presi@ent- cect Wilwon aet forth the principle to dwy that “Justice and not gracefulness” —recognyion of services and not poll- Mcs—would guide him in the distribu. ton of puble offices. A delegation of labor leaders asked him {to appoint John T. Cosgrove, @ Democrat, to the office of State Com- missioner of Labor now held by Col. Lewis T. Bryant, @ Republican, The argument advanced was that as the na- tional government was about to create & Department af Labor the laboring men should be recognized by having one of their own number chosen in both the Federal and State bureaus of labor, “Public office is not worth anything,” replied the Governor, “if an entirely sausfactory fulfilment of the duties of an OMce does not entitle a man to con- sideration for reappointment, If men are to know that a mere change of ad- ministration fe to empty an office, no matter how they have deserved to be reappointed, there is not anythi Justice or public right left, 1 feel to the ful extent the argument you have made in favor of Mr. Cosgrove, but I haven't @ olean slate to write on. If we were creating this office your argu- ments would be different, MUST CONSIDER CLAIMS OF MEN WHO “MAKE GOO! “1 do not need to say to this come pany that I entirely sympathize with the aspirations of labor and that I ene tirely recognize the rights of labor, but Col, Bryant has made good, and I am bound to consider his claims, I would be ashamed of myself if I did not.” “Would it not be justice and mercy to appoint a labor man—would It not be graceful?” pleaded Samuel Bottertli, spokeaman for the delegation, iracefulness 1s easy and justice te ard,” elghed the Governor, ‘We hoped then that you might de- part in this cage from the beaten path," insisted Mr. Bottertil, beaten path leads to scooping every offive,” remarked the Governor, with a smile, and the digcussion ended. Wilson announced this afternoop (Continueg on Second Page). f THIS EVENING Business Engagements Keep Mr. Shepard in New York Until Time to Arrange for Getting License.
