...most amusing and amazing to me, for example, to be asked, as I was soon after my election, whether I expected to appoint any men to office? This question, telegraphed to me from the East by a well-known metropolitan newspaper, had every indication of being quite sincere, and was apparently inspired by the fear that the elevation of women to executive office was likely to be followed by the dismissal of all men and the substitution of women in their places...
...Methodist Episcopal Board of Foreign Missions announced at New York that Dictator-President Leguía has taken it upon himself to appoint a U. S. Methodist Episcopal medical missionary, Dr. Eugene A. MacCornack, as Alcalde (Mayor) of the ancient Peruvian city of Callao, seaport to Lima.

There is a North Dakota law, however, empowering the Governor to make appointments of state officers to fill temporary vacancies. Mr. Nye's right to a seat in the Senate rests...
Several weeks ago Senator George Higgins Moses of New Hampshire, Chairman of the Republican Senatorial Committee, told Governor Sorlie that, according to legal advice he had taken, the Governor did not have power to appoint a senator. Apparently the Governor accepted this opinion; only recently Mr. Sorlie called a special election for next June to fill the vacancy. North Dakota may now have three men filling one Senate post in the course of a single year: Mr. Nye serving from now to June; a second man elected next June to serve until March, 1927; and a third senator elected...
