and Ia shat time ths only diplewatic
appointments which have won general
approval are those Of Psndlsion ~
Minister 70 Germany, Cox as Minister
10 Turkey, and Anderson ~ Minister 90
Denmark. Kelly waa tho most colossal
bluadsr Of all. AfssF him eame Law-
ton. Phelps and almost all the other
Democrats whom the administration
has sought 10 send abroad.
