TO which he will be nominated imme-
diately after the holiday recess. Mr..
Smith has agreed to remain until Jan.
Is, If necessary, but will return inn
mediately thereafter to resume the ed
itorship of the Philadelphia Press.
All of the members of the cabinet ex-
pressed their profound regret, and the
president paid very impressive
tribute to the services and personality
of the retiring member of his official
family. He said that he had sought to
persuade Mr.. Smith to alter his deter
mination and to remain in the cabinet,
but without success, and he finally ac-
copied Mr.. Smiths reasons as de-
cisive.
Mr.. Smith first announced to the
president the latter part of last month
that he bad decided to return to his
editorial duties. The president at that
time urged him to remain. Mr.. Smith,
however, has been frequently remind
ed by his business associates of the
editorial duties devolving upon him
and was anxious to return to them.
He had several talks with President
Roosevelt on the subject and finally,
on Saturday afternoon last, formally
rendered to the president his resig-
nation.
Mr.. Smith delayed the formal tender
until the president had chosen his sue
cessor. Mr. Payne is now at his home
in Washington. His name will go into
the senate for CONTINENT the first
week of January.
Milwaukee, Dec. 1S-Henry G..

a citizen of Milwaukee for many years
and has been prominent in political
circles of Wisconsin for over % years.
For several years past he has been
republican national committeeman
from Wisconsin, and during the last
two national campaigns he was vice
chairman of the national republican
committee. Mr.. Payne was post
master Of Milwaukee for 10 years,
serving under President Grant, Hayes
and Arthur. He was one Of the re-
ceivers of the Northern Pacific rail
road early in the COS, when that prop
erty was in the courts. Later, Mr..
Payne became connected with various
large interests, including the old Mil
waukee e. Northern Railroad Co., now
a part Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul system; the Wisconsin Tele'
phone Co. and street railway prop
critics. He is now vice-president OF
the Milwaukee Electric Railway &
Light Co.
Mr.. Payne has been in the east for
several dovs, but is expected to reach
home today.
