THE Tennessee republicans do not
by any means endorse President Har-
rison's appointments to office and are
manly enough to say 50. Texas re-
publicans are much of the same opin-
ion concerning the bulk of Texas
appointments, but are not seriously
complaining, having really no one to
blame but themselves. Congress is
making good record, and the admin
istration OF public affairs is really
able. The cabinet is strong one,
harmonious, efficient, not cranky, and
a few unfortunate appointments can
easily be excused
