What is it that we have to expect

WHITE HOUSE KITCHEN CABINETS
IF TAFT GETS THIS FALLS BIG
GEST CABBAGE.

A head of state has an official
and an unofficial cabinet. Mem
bers of the former administer the
various departments of govern
ment. The latter is called into con,
ference by the president on prob
lens that confront him. 1t is COM
monty called the kitchen cabinet,
because of the close relations of its
members with the president.
Next to the identity of the new
president, Washington interest
centers in the probable member
ship of his kitchen cabinet.
With Taft's election, Frank II.
Hitchcock would be one of the men
close to the president. Because he
is chairman of the national commit
tee, he would be much consulted in
the distribution of patronage. He
knows the men in the various sec
tons who have been of most serv-
ice to Taft, and they would. of
course, be the ones to receive early
and favorable consideration in the
distribution of offices. A. l. Vorys,
chief of Taft's personal staff, would
be nea rthe throne. He was man.
ager of Taft's early campaign for
the nomination and distinguished
himself particularly in framing up
Ohio for the candidate. Vorys would
just about have the say when the
day arrived to reward the Ohio war
riors who stood by the cause in try
ing times. Taft places high value
on the Judgment of Vorys. VI
Members of the present cabinet
who would be particularly close to
Taft. aside from any official co1-
nection they might have with HIS
administration. would be Post
master General George Won L..
Meyer, Elihu Root. secretary of
state, and James r. Garfield. secre-
tary of the interior. The same is
true of Solicitor General ii. M.
Hoyt.
Senators w. Murray Crane and
Henry Cabot Lodge would be In the
kitchen cabinet. Crane is COM
bined political manager and states
man, while Lodge is an expert on
the big things In statecraft.
Congressman T. e. Burton would
be called into conference regarding
matters of legislation. especially
currency reform,
Charles p. Taft. brother Of the
candidate: William II. Nelson.
newspaper publisher OF Kansas
City, and ex-Gov. M. T. Herrick of
Ohio would be members OF the
charmed circle.
Then. too. there would be an emf
nent private citizen, one T. Roose-
welt. who would have considerable
influence with the administration.

IF THE BIG PUDDING OF 1908
GOES TO BRYAN.

Bryan's election would mean an
all around new deal. Dignified gen.
|tlemen who now stroll into the
white house salmly as though they
We're visiting one of the neighbors
out home, would return to the
provinces and new faces would
shine in high places. Also in the
Kitchen cabinet
Norman e. Mack, chairman of
the democratic national committee,
would bear the same relation to
Bryan as Hitchcock to Taft, and
for the same reasons.
Two former cabinet members I'M
der President Cleveland, whose ad-
vice would be sought by Bryan are
Richard Olney of Boston and David
r. Francis. Olney, as secretary of
state, dared England to go to war
over Venezuela. Francis was secre-
tary of the interior and Is a former
governor of Missouri.
George Fred Williams of Boston,
| Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of Cleye-
land, DR.. Girdner of New York and
Justice Walter Clark of South Caro-.
lima are old and close friends of
Bryan and men in whose Judgment
he would have confidence.
Judge Alton B. Parker of New
York, Theodore E. Bell of Califor-
aia, Judson Harmon of Cincinnati
land Nj. L. Ingalls, of Cincinnati
would be close to the new presi.
dent. Ingalls, value would lie in
the information he would be able
to give on railroad questions. Elk.
Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota
and Martin ]. Wade of Iowa, one of
ilthe heavyweights of the campaign,
have for years been fast friends of
Bryan and could be counted in the
kitchen cabinet. The same is true
of Congressman Ollie James of
Kentucky.
|, Among members of congress to
Whom Bryan would look for light In
Legislative matters would be Sena.
, tor c. A. Culberson OF Texas and
Congressman Champ Clark, Lloyd
and De Almond of Missouri; Sulzer
of New York. Sims of Tennessee

Ridder. New York editor. would be
consulted in matters relating to the
Germans.
1t may be little early for APP
pointments, but there is consider
able talk that Bryan would offer
Senator Raynor of Maryland the at.
torney generalship. and Judge
Parker place in the supreme
court. probably as chief Justice.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-10-20

was up to William G. Evans and
E. B. Field.
Now. a man like Field, who goes
to church, has his name on charity
subscription lists, affects culture,
lives in a fashionable part of town,
and all that Find Of thing, does not
like to be held up to public view
as a corrupter of youth and a

DEGREES the crushing of Lindsey.
He honestly thinks Lindsey can be
crushed and silenced by retirement
to private life.
But why not run as an indie
pendent?
This was the question put to
Judge Lindsey by hundreds of
friends as soon as the telephone
company had spoken.
There are two objections" re-
piled the judge. THE first Is lack
of funds, and the second Is the Pc
culiar bollot system here, under
which it is next to impossible to
vote anything but straight ticket
and get 1t counted"
Then the trut hcame out in re-

gard to Judge Lindsey's finances.
With an invalid mother to support,
his worldly possessions are today
less than a thousand dollars.
Everything ne has made has gone
into the work. He has just re-
turned from a six months lecture
trip; he drew no salary during his
absence, and he assigned all the
proceeds of his lectures to charity
before he started. In many in
stances he paid his own railroad
fare and hotel bills. He was work
ing for the general cause of juven-
lie courts. He' never thought of
his own needs or profits.
Here is a case which shows how
Judge Lindsey's money has gone.
1t happened since my arrival. A
young girl started from Washing
ton state for Chicago, where she
was to enter a school. She stopped
off In Denver to visit girl friend.
She and the friend flirted with men
on the street, and this girl was
lured from her companion, was
robbed and left destitute in the
strange city. A strange woman
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-10-20

found her and took her to JUDI =
Lindsey's court. The Judge found
out her story, kept it out of the
papers, gave her money and sent
her on her way L.
The Judge has financed the boy&s
camp every summer, has contrib-
uted to the Fairgrounds and to all
manner of nhildren's charities, Of
ganized and individual. He has
given away his money as fast as i
has come in. Now, when he Is told
he might possibly be elected as an
Independent candidate, he has no
money to make the campaign.
The Evans-F1eld1T ramway ele-
phone, republico-democratic ticket
will have unlimited funds.
You ought to make the race any
way Judge Lindsey's friends have
said. 1--WE win all chip ina little,
and we will do the best we can"
One of those who gave this adj
vice was a lady-a widow-who
came into the judges office and
laid on his desk a large sum of
to cover the entire
expenses of the fight. But inquiry
disclosed the fact that the woman
was giving practically all she
owned in the world-all that stood
between her and want; and the
Judge would not take it.
