Washington, May l7.-New Yorker
are busy up the state with the nam
of Secretary Elihu Root. They ar
carving out a further career for him
putting him here or putting him there
and then admiring their handiwork il
conjunction with other speculative
events political.
Roosevelt for President, Root fol
Governor, and Oder for the cabine
form one of the beautiful mosaics de
signed by these same upstarters, which
naturally tickles the vanity OF the
average New Yorker that the Empire
State comes very near being the whole
shooting match in about everything
going. Outsiders readily recognize
the practical certainty of Roosevelt
for President" Secretary Root would
probably be a strong candidate for
Governor, and no one questions his en-
inent ability for the office. But while
some party gossips are discussing his
availability for such a nomination, 9th
ers are emphasizing his qualifications
for the United States Senate. In the
latter direction Mr.. Root is credited
with having some strong ambitions. At
least that impression prevails sufficient
ly to give other aspirants in New
York some uneasiness.
Mention of Gov. Odell as a cabinet
possibility, however. will provoke a
smile in many quarters. Personally and
politically he and President Roosevelt
are on very pleasant terms but it has
been whispered about more than once
that, deep down, no love is lost be-
tween these two eminent Republican
officials. The situation simply makes
it expedient for both of them to be
friends.
With the Cabinet Officers.
The season for cabinet rumors Is
nearing, which warrants the observa-
ton that President Roosevelt has been
smashing the favorite precedent of
long standing that a President can not
get along with the cabinet of his pre-
decessor. The cabinet officers whom
Mr.. Mckinley tried have been exceed
ingly strong in important events, mark
ing Mr.. Roosevelt's administration.
secretary may mas carried FORWARD I'M
portant diplomatic negotiations; Attor-
ney General Knox has weathered the
struggle over trusts.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
the only member of the cabinet who
has been there continuously since Mr..
Mckinley became President in March,
1897. With the rural population of the
country he is quite as strong under
the Roosevelt administration as under
that of Mckinley. Only two of the
other cabinet officers have served more
than four years. Secretary Hay was
appointed Sept. 20, 1898, and Secretary
of the Interior Hitchcock was appoint
ed Dec. p, 1898, having proved him
self strong man at the head of that
large department in the face OF not
little adverse criticism. Secretary Cor
telyou is the youngest man in cabinet
experience, having been appointed Feb.
Is, 1903. Gov. Shaw became Secretary
OF the Treasury Feb. /, 1902; Mr.. Root
was named Secretary of War Aug 1,
1899; Mr.. Knox became Attorney
General April g. 1901; Mr.. Payne be-
came Postmaster General Jan. s, 1902,
