Washington correspondence notes President Wilson’s agenda includes many appointments over the next two weeks and a September return from the capital. A Western Representative describes a plan to anticipate future offices by reversing expected outcomes, while observers debunk reports of a halt to removals and defend the administration as businesslike. Miss Cleveland is floated for a school trustees vacancy, with other local elites suggested as suitable aides in the district.
