Possibility of Forcing Caucus
Discussed by Democratic
Leaders No Intention
to Bolt Administration
WASHINGTON, Jan. . (AP) The
poMibilltT of forcing a Democratic
caucus on patronage matters today
wsa discussed privately by several
members on the house side of Capl
tol Hill.
Many admittedly are not satisfied
with the Jobs they have been able to
bestow upon constituents. Several
stated frankly the replacement of
hundreds of Republican office hold
era with Democrats would measur
ably Increase their own political
strength at home.
The caucus could be forced by eub
mission to the caucus chairman, Rep
reeentetlve Lea of California, of a pe
. tltlon signed by 25 Democratio house
members. The discussion at sucn
forced meeting would be limited to
the subject matter of the petition.
Following a caucus last session
which was addressed by the chief
patronage dispenser, James A. Fsr
ley, postmaster general and ehalrmon
of the Democratio national commit
tee, many conceded today that Far
ley la co-operating with the Jobs he
controls. They find objections never
theless to the number of appoint
ments and lack of removals by heads
of other agencies.
Those who favor the caucus Idea
assert they do not Intend It to be
understood aa a threat to bolt the
administration. They say they are
aura that If the thing were called
forcibly enough to President Hoose
Telt's attention he would do some
thing about it.
Taking a hand In the patronage
question, the civil service commis
sion. In Its annual report published
today, asserted It was convinced the
removal of all political consideration
from the appointment of postmasters
would result in economy.
The commission recommended to
President Roosevelt thst he place all
tint class as well as second and third
class post masters under the civil ser
Ice law. .

OMETHING like the method
of ageing fine wines is used in age
ing and mellowing the tobaccos for
Chesterfield cigarettes.
The picture you see here was taken
inside one of our modern storage ware
houses where the tobaccos for Chester
field are put away.
There are about four and one-half
miles of these Liggett & Myers ware
houses filled with thousands of casks of
Domestic and Turkish tobaccos, most
of it lying there ageing and mellowing
for Chesterfield cigarettes.
It takes just about three years to age
the tobacco for your Chesterfields.

is used in making Cliesterfields.
