BEEBE CARRIES HIS FIGHT OVER FERRIS’ HEAD Appeals to President to Inter- fere Against Spoils Sys- tem of Bosses SUGGESTS PLAN FOR NAMING POSTMASTERS Would Have Them Nominated by Caucus of All Enrolled Democrats Albert E. Beebe, of Mendon, who wu the Democratic candidate for con- gress in laat November'* election In the Fourth district, U engaged in a struggle to prevent a federal pa- tronage scandal in Michigan. Mr. Beebe has suggested that in- stead of the pat rouge being distrib- uted by State Chairman Shields and National Committeeman Wood, who were fighting President Wilson tooth* und-nail prior to his nomination, and whose control in Michigan since the •lection has caused loudly-expressed dissatisfaction among loyal Wilson Democrats, a more popular way of choosing postmasters be adopted—a caucus of the enrolled Democrats in the municipality in question, which shall recommend to President Wilson a proper man to be appointed. On March 10, Mr. Beebe wrote to Oov. Ferris, proposing his plan. The governor turned it down, at the same time requesting more information. On March 17. Mr. Beebe wrote aguln to the governor, outlining his plan snore fully. A week later, after Oov. Ferris had announced that he would have nothiug to do with federal pa- tronage iu Michigan, but would turn It all over to Wood and Shields and their referees, Mr. Beebe decided to go to the head of his party, and w rote a letter to President Wilson. Oov. Ferris reply to Mr. Beebe wag as follows: Have your letter of the 10th. I note what you have to say about the Initiative and referendum with reference to postofllces. Now', my friend. 1 think you are not entirely rignt in your position concerning the distribution of pa- tronage. Democratic cougreas- men-elect should look after the postofllces In their respective dis- tricts. For years, political organ- izations, regardless of party names, have distributed the pa- tronage because no better method up to the present hour has been discovered. Up to the hour of Wilson’s Inauguration Mr. Wood. Mr. Shields and myself had not made a single postoffice promise. 1 am sorry that your letter was not definite iu outlining your se- cret ballot plans. Will you be kind enough to give me the de- tails of such a plan? Ido not be- lieve there is any method of dls tributing patronage that will be entirely satisfactory to all. In fact, all human plunA are more or less faulty. I cannot see any rea- son why Michigan should be dis- organized by adopting some meth- od without first having made some provision for adopting such method. In IBk3. the referee sys- tem set the Democrats of this state back 10 years. I am aware that this letter is UOt vti> »aiisUuAory. but it is the best I can write uudei the circumstances. Very sincerely yours, WOODBRJDQE N. FEB HIS. Governor. Mr. Beebe then replied to Gov. Fer- ris: Yours of the lith inat. In reply to mine of the 10th, was duly re- ceived. I do not believe you had made any promises previous to the in- auguration of Wilson. I believe you to be honest, but like all men, subject to mistake*. I am satis- fied that there were promises made, and even money used, to keep the state convention from sending a Wilson delegation to Baltimore. I suggested leaving choice of postmasters to the enrolled Dem- ocrats, patrons of such offices. You request details: Simply call the Democrats enrolled on the primary register together in cau- cus and let them choose by bal- lot wf they do to nominate town- ship officers. This is in line with our state platform. The initiative and ref- erendum. put In use. arc truly Democratic and ought to meet with the favor of all fuirmlnded Democrats. But the distribution of patronage by men demanding the exercise of this powtr, claim- ing they were promised it for de- livering Michigan's vote in Bal- timore, is disgraceful. It puts our organ zatlon In a bad light; it gives us a had point to explain to the progressive Democrats, or with which to win new converts. It is more disrepu- table than any reiere* plan evor put In use; It will cause continired dissension, and end in disruption, and keep the Democrats from te- lng the dominant party in Michi- gan for 20 years. I say down with boss rule in Michigan, and let us put our trust In the people, as Jefferson did. Yours truly, ALBERT E. BEEBE On March 24. Mr. Beebe r. role to President Wilson: Please excuse my writing you and intruding on your Ume. hut I fnel that conditions iu Michigan wurrant It. *• *" You art* aware tDmt our Demo- cratic leaders, Messrs. Wood and Shields, organized Michigan first for Mr. Harmon; after your visit to l>etroit. they changed to ‘any- thing to bent Wilson:** some talk- ed (Mark, but thev finally settled on n<> instructions. They uow claim the right to dispense patronage in Michigan, because of a promise made in Baltimore. In organizing to caie ture the state, they appointed a man In each county to aid them; he was to be “remembered; in some cases he was promised money to help him bring dele- gates to the state convention at Bay City. Thes,* nien who aided them expect to act as their ref- erees in each county. Knowing the situation. I have asked Gov. Ferris to join me in getting this spoils system overthrown: and in allowing the Democratic putrons of each i>ost office to caucus and vote on whom they wish as post- masters, the result to be forward- ed for your consideration aud ap- pointment ; to put in use the in- itiative and referendum which Michigan Democrats have favored in state platforms for nearly 20 years. I* enclose copies of letters that have passed between Gov. Fer- ris and myself. Since receiving my letter, he has called Messrs. Wood and Shields Into consultation, and come out through the press, an- nouncliig that he would have noth- ing further to do with the fed- eral patronage in Michigan, turn- ing It all over to Messrs Wood and Shields with their referees. These referees, if a Democratic congressman were elected, would not have had patronage to con- trol, so they were not anxious to elect any, and results show the outcome of the pre-convention or- ganization of Michigan on the spoils system. Again begging your pardon for inflicting this on you, I remain. Yours truly, ALBERT E. BEEBE. DRESS UP, EVERYBODY Now’s the Time to do it— March 28th, 29th Here’s the Place to do it— THE MENTER CO.

FERRIS’ HEADAppeals to President to Inter-

SUGGESTS PLAN FORNAMING POSTMASTERS
Would Have Them Nominatedby Caucus of All Enrolled
Democrats
Albert E. Beebe, of Mendon, whowu the Democratic candidate for con-gress in laat November'* election Inthe Fourth district, U engaged in astruggle to prevent a federal pa-tronage scandal in Michigan.
Mr. Beebe has suggested that in-stead of the pat rouge being distrib-uted by State Chairman Shields andNational Committeeman Wood, whowere fighting President Wilson tooth*und-nail prior to his nomination, andwhose control in Michigan since the•lection has caused loudly-expresseddissatisfaction among loyal WilsonDemocrats, a more popular way ofchoosing postmasters be adopted—acaucus of the enrolled Democrats inthe municipality in question, whichshall recommend to President Wilsona proper man to be appointed.
On March 10, Mr. Beebe wrote toOov. Ferris, proposing his plan. Thegovernor turned it down, at the sametime requesting more information.On March 17. Mr. Beebe wrote agulnto the governor, outlining his plansnore fully. A week later, after Oov.Ferris had announced that he wouldhave nothiug to do with federal pa-tronage iu Michigan, but would turnIt all over to Wood and Shields andtheir referees, Mr. Beebe decided togo to the head of his party, and w rotea letter to President Wilson.
Oov. Ferris reply to Mr. Beebe wagas follows:
Have your letter of the 10th. Inote what you have to say aboutthe Initiative and referendumwith reference to postofllces.Now', my friend. 1 think you arenot entirely rignt in your positionconcerning the distribution of pa-tronage. Democratic cougreas-men-elect should look after thepostofllces In their respective dis-tricts. For years, political organ-izations, regardless of partynames, have distributed the pa-tronage because no better methodup to the present hour has beendiscovered.

In IBk3. the referee sys-tem set the Democrats of thisstate back 10 years.
I am aware that this letter is

Very sincerely yours,WOODBRJDQE N. FEB HIS.
Governor.Mr. Beebe then replied to Gov. Fer-
ris:Yours of the lith inat. In reply
to mine of the 10th, was duly re-ceived.
I do not believe you had madeany promises previous to the in-auguration of Wilson. I believeyou to be honest, but like all men,subject to mistake*. I am satis-fied that there were promisesmade, and even money used, tokeep the state convention fromsending a Wilson delegation toBaltimore.

This is in line with our stateplatform. The initiative and ref-erendum. put In use. arc trulyDemocratic and ought to meetwith the favor of all fuirmlndedDemocrats. But the distributionof patronage by men demandingthe exercise of this powtr, claim-ing they were promised it for de-livering Michigan's vote in Bal-timore, is disgraceful.
It puts our organ zatlon In abad light; it gives us a had pointto explain to the progressiveDemocrats, or with which to winnew converts. It is more disrepu-table than any reiere* plan evorput In use; It will cause continireddissension, and end in disruption,and keep the Democrats from te-lng the dominant party in Michi-gan for 20 years.
