Will He Lose His Office Captain Bennett Fights For Post
Washington August 13 Captain Bennett chief of the revenue marine division is unlikely to be removed despite factions seeking his post. Senator Sherman pressed for E W Clark after the new administration began, Secretary Windom wavered, and President Harrison questioned Clark's tenure. Representative Randall backs Lieutenant Ross, backed by New England officials and merchants, with Ross likely to replace Bennett if a change occurs. Bennett holds broad service support though he did not vote for Harrison and Morton.
