Press Comments.

Senator Proctor is a friend of the
new President.
The President has asked his cab
met to remain in Office. But there
are changes liable to take place in
the official family of the President at
no distant date.
This may mean much to Senator
Proctor.
Already it has been rumored that
in case Senator Lodge of Massachu-
setts should be made Secretary OF
State, Senator Proctor would become
the Presidents personal representa-
tive on the floor of the Senate.
1t may mean even more than this
to the Vermont Senator. He may
be invited to take the place of pre-
mier in the cabinate, and should he
accept it means the choosing of his
successor to the Senate.
Should there come changes which
rumor has set afoat, then the win.

to produce some interesting events
