Protests Fade as McMillan Weaver and Sammis Named
Washington June 23 Special to the Sioux City Journal. The president is expected to send to the senate within a day or two the names of McMillan Weaver and Sammis for positions unanimously indorsed by the Iowa delegation. Protests against these gentlemen have been discounted and the choice awaits presidential approval. J W Batterson, who protested his removal as revenue collector, has little support to continue the fight and is likely to accept the delegation’s decision. The nominations are believed to reach the senate in time for confirmation before adjournment.
