Washington, D. c., Nov. Tho the
cabinet 1nakers for the Taft admins
tration are retaining James Wilson, of
| Iowa, in the next presidents family as
secretary of agriculture it Is be-
lieved by we'll posted politicians here
that Mr., Wilson will retire from the
1910. when he will have served in the
| presidential cabinet longer than any,
one else in the history of the nation.
/ When President elect Taft takes the
oath of office March 4 next year. Sec
rotary Wilson will have been In the
cabinet under Mckinley and Roosevelt
Tor twelve years, and IL Taft continues
ilim in that position for nine months
and day longer he will have broken
the record held by Secretary of the
treasurer Gallatin under Jefferson

pilioh' and 1t is almost certain that
Mr. Taft will crafty the desire of his
former colleague
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot is
slated then for the secretaryship OF
agriculture. That will leave Iowa
without representative in the cabi-
net for the first time in many wears.
but there appears to be plenty Of ma
terlal In the Hawkeye state for almost
any cabinet job. and as Mr.. Taft is
known to feel under special obliga-
tons to the Allison republicans who
carried the state for him at time
when the Iowa delegation was consid-
cred vital to his nomination. it is as
sured he will give his friends there /
generous consideration.
The indications now are that General |
Wright. whom Taft expects to reap
point secretary of war for a short |
time. will retire from the cabinet |
about the time Secretary Wilson does. !
Ihls VIII! leave an opening for an Iowa |
man as secretary of war, and LATE |
Young, of Des Moines, stands in good |
grace with Taft for this position There
are others, tho. who pick General Clar-
ence Edwards to succeed General
Wright
Since the unexpected defeat of Col
onel Hepburn there is some talk here
OF him in connection with the secre-
taryship of commerce and labor. The
fact that he has been chairman of the
house committee on interstate and for
eign commerce during the strenuous
period of railroad legislation entities
Colonel Hepburn to much considera-i
ton. but The belief is that Secretary
Oscar Stratus will be continued in his
present position. At least he I'M
can have it as long as he
cares to remain.
