sctsd being a great improvement on their
predecessors. The President lad offer.
oil the position to olhor gentlemen who

Ind been unable to prevail on n bettor
man to accept this important place. 1t Is
o striking proof that tho Administration

thought to ho an honor to participate in
its counssls. An acceptance Of tho Of
flee would imply acceptance Of the Pres
ident's public endorsement Of Dclaho's
course. No wonder. therefore, that
after repeated Efforts no man Of higher
moral status than Chandler could be In.
duced to accept q Cabinet appointment,
encountered with such degrading con.
ditions that no officer might refuse to
endorse Delano or differ with the Pres.
idsnt respecting the affairs Of his own
department.
