Cabinet changes during the winter and
coming year are being frequently mooted.
1t is already conceded that Secretary of
State Hay will be the first to retire, and
Secretary of War Root will probably go up
to the premiership. The death, this week,
of Secretary Longs favorite daughter,
Miss Helen, will, it is believed, hasten his
request to be relieved of his portofolio,
and ex-senator Wolcott, of Colorado, is
mentioned as his successor. The early
settlement of Cuban relations will permit
of Gen. Leonard Wood being made Sec
rotary of War to succeed Root, and that
Wood will receive the appointment is be-
lieved in inner circles. Postmaster Gen
eral Smith is also slated to retire sooner
or Later and it is whispered confdentially
that the President will find some Southern
man to succeed him, with Hon. John F.
Hanson, of Georgia, as likely preference.

attract attention among the politicians at
the Capital. The democrats are handi-
capped by having an unfinished Constitu-
tional Convention and an incohate suf-
frage plan on their hands Col. J. Hamp-
ton Hoge, the republican candidate for
Governor, is bold, eloquent campaigner
and is making hot and bitter fight
against his former associates of the dem
ocracy. Nevertheless, the democrats are
confident of a complete victory at the
polls, but realize they will have to fight
for it without stint or sleep.
In Maryland there are complaints of
general apathy among the voters of both
parties, but it is promised that ex Senator
German will now actively take the field
at the head of the democratic column, and
he has already predicted sweeping vic
tory for the party in November. The
never predicts unless he knows.
The strong opposition that is being
made to the re election of Senator James
X. Jones, Chairman of the National Demo-
his friends great alarm. Ex-Governor
Clark is attacking the Senator on the
stump in joint debates before tue people,
and the campaign at present is said to
wear doubtful aspect for the latter
Some of the strongest Congressman from
the State are among the forces arrayed
against the Senator
The McLaurin movement, to help on a
new lily-whte republican organization in
the South, is not feared by the democratic
leaders. They say it will Idle a bornin',"
ard that the South will remain loyal and
steady, in 1904, to true blue democratic
ticket.
