iPERS WAS CHOSEN. ildent BcMeved that He Id Control State's Vote. hgton, Jan. 15.-Telegraph latches announcing the fact that Wight, ot New Orleans, had Itely deolded that he would not )( the office of Commissioner of t?rnal Revenue . are of more than dinary interest' to the. people of >uth Carolina. Bviiiud thu statement of Mr.Wight, ?at ho will not come to Washington. become the head of the big inter nal revenue tureau, ls an Interest story. Last summer, when Mr. rerkes, then commissioner, decided he would leave the office for the purpose of resuming the active (votice of law, there waB much spec 1 ulation ns to who would be nts suc cessor. To the surprise of many peo ple John O. Capers, of South Caroli na, vas named by the President to hold the place temporarily until Mr. Wight, the real appointee, could so arrange his business affairs that he could come to Washington. Mr. Wight held several confer ences with the President about the matter, and finally decided that he could not afford to sacrifice his Dust iness Interests by assuming the cum mlsslonershlp-at least not at that time. Mr. Capers then went in, so far as the public knew, to hold the place only temporarily. There was a general feeling among the public, however, that the President,, know ing of Mr. Cap?rs' strong political hold In South Carolina and elsewhere in the South, had really Intended for 'him to be the permanent commis sioner. Another fact that leads to the be lief t li ii t this is the true state of the case is that Mr. Wight did hot defi nitely and positively decline to ac cept the place until a few days ago after Mr. Capers had been confirmed by the Senate as commissioner. There ls apparently no reason why Mr. Capers should not hold the place for an indefinite time. The adminis tration of his office has been entirely satisfactory, and he has mixed poli tics and business of his bureau to the liking of both the President and becretary Cortelyou-his immediate superior. Mr. Wight's statement that he would not accept the place and Mr. Capors' confirmation should mean that the lattor will hold the place for an Indefinite period.
