Canton, O., Nov. 3O.-NIajor Mckinley
had a busy day with his congressional
callers today and it was o'clock this
evening before ne had a minute he
could call his own. Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge came from Washington
to discuss the possibilities of legisla-
tive action at the approaching session.
Senator Lodge represents the Reed
contingent in New England politics
more thoroughly than any of else
where, and the fact that he made the
trip from Washington to Canton 70 DO
what Mr.. Reed recently neglected TO
do. is regarded by many as an indlca-
ton that he would accept what MI
Reeds friends declare he would not,
namely, a position in the presidential
household. He was clOseted for some
time with Major Mckinley, but the OBJ
ject of his visit, if it had more soecinc
ore than TO testify his good VIII tc-
ward the incoming administration, was
not manifested.
General Horace Porter of New York
remained with Major Mckinley until
late this afternoon.
General Porter said that While no
positive arrangements had been MADE
as TO the chief marshalShiD OF the IN
tAAeNt -
doubtless be arranged satisfactorily
though no announcement would pc
made until after the headquarters were
opened in Washington
$50 far as cabinet making is con-
cerned," said General Porter. Il never
knew a cabinet to be completed until
very near the 4th of March. know
of no man who is better equipped IN
the matter of wide acquaintanceshiD
with public men throughout the coun-
try than Major Mckinley. He is per
fectly qualified to make his own selec-
lions and when it is done it Will be his
own handiwoTk.
AS TO his own ambitions in this di-
rection, General Porter said that ms
visit had no significance in that dlrec-
ton as he had called upon a friend OF
many years standing TO pay his per-
sonal respects.
d. IT. Jameson of Illinois called on
Major Mckinley today Mr.. Jameson
pointed with pride to the enormous vic
tory won in Illinois. and says that
While his state would be glad TO find
recognition at Major McKinley's hands
it does not propose to embarrass Major
Mckinley with any claims.
1--WE are perfectly willing to rest our
case in Mcxinley's hands," said he to-
night. and believe that he will in
proper way recognize the services OF
the Republicans of that great state
Henry T. Oxnard Of California presi-
dent of the national beet sugar asso-
citation. C. D. Sheldon of Michigan, 7.
f. Burton of Cleveland and II. c. Van
Voorhis of Ohio called upon the Major
this afternoon.
Many of Major McKinley's callers
are urging the necessity of an early
revision of the tariff and new congress
men are especially anxious for an ex-
ira session of the body to which they
have been elected. There is little
doubt, too, that the callers who talk
tariff legislation to the president-elect
find a much reader listener than those
who discuss local patronage, or even
cabinet possibilities. The fact that
there will be a weeks shorter ses-
sion before Christmas this winter than
last, and the unlikelihood of any pro
per decision of the tariff by the out
going congress. gives weight to the
belief here that an extra session is an
absolute necessity.
Mr. and Mrs. ]. Russell Young of
Philadelphia dined with Major and
Mrs. Mckinley this evening
