lief exists that Bryan would also

One of the wiseacres thinks Il
would be very pleasing IL Swanson
could be made secretary of COM

would require his resignation from
the position he now holds. This
withdrawal from the executive chair
would cause a love'y vacancy into
which Lieutenant Governor Ellyson
could slide most gracefully. More
than on. man. building castles IN
the air, has indulged the hope that
something like this might happen.
Everybody admits that if Bryan
is victorious. Virginia will not be

MAYBE H0GE TYLER
POLITICIANS THINK HE MAY BE
MADE SECRETARY OF AGRI-
CULTURE IN BRYAN'S CABI-
NET III THE NEBRASKAN WINS

Richmond, Va. July 16.-It is
barely possible that man with a
highly developed sense of the hu-
morous would see great deal of
the ludicrous in the speculations now
INDUCED IN by these politicians whc
so confidently expect Bryan to win
that they have already begun to
speculate as to who will get the
plums to be distributed by him.
But all the same, there Is good
deal of talk along these lines, and 1t
helps mighty well to while away the
duller hours of these soporiferous
days.
Anticipation in this connection
has been whetted by the Washington
Posts representation as to the
cabinet officers to be named in the
event that either Taft or Bryan lands
the laurels next November.
Local soothsayers are somewhat
surprised-not TO say irritated-to
observe that the Washington paper
makes a guess that in the event of
Bryan's success, he will name Clark
Howell, OF Georgia, as secretary of
agriculture. Whether or not the
wish Is father of the thought. the
Richmond prophets say that this ex-
ceedngly juicy bit of political fruit
will go to Ex-Governor J. Hoge Ty-
Ter, an enthusiastic supporters OF the
Nebraskan's. and an equally enthusi-
astic farmer.
Gov. Tyler is known to have a
strong pull with Bryan, though
even here there are people who as
