Postmaster General Cortelyou, who used to sit
at the foot OF the table will move across TO the
first seat the Presidents left, to be vacated
by Secretary Shaw, passing above Secretary
Taft and becoming third in line Of succession
TO the Presidency, following only the Vice Presi-
dent and the Secretary Of State. Secretary

present place from the chair of the Secretary
OF War
OF the entire group of men who gather
around the Cabinet table there only three
who were in. the Cabinet when Mr.. Roosevelt
succeeded TO the Presidency September IA,

1897, the day after President McKiney's first
