SUGGEST HEPBURN
FOR THE CABINET
First Forecast Suggests Another loMan
For Next Presidents Of
ficial Family.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-The usual
cabinet states, which invariably follow
the election of the new President are
making their appearance and political
wiseacres are busy in forecasting the
names of those who will make up
President-elect Taft's official family.
or course, there is no authoritative
ground whatever for the mention OF
specific names in connection with the
new cabinet as Taft has not given
the slightest intimation of his inten-
tions. so far as can be learned. How
ever. one of the first to appear makes
these suggestions:
Secretary of States-Elihu Root.
Secretary of the Treasury-Ex-Gov
ernor Herrick, of Ohio, or A. B. Hep
burn of New York.
Secretary of War or Attorney Cen
eral-Luke Wright
Postmaster General Frank H.
Hitchcock.
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor
W. p Hepburn of Iowa.
Secretary of Agriculture-James S,
Wilson.
For the navy and interior depart
ments, the names of Senator Crane OF
| Massachusetts, Charles F. Brooker OF
Connecticut and John Hays Ham

UNCLE JOE CANNON
is WELL PLEASED
Was Reelected by Plurality of 5000
Notwithstanding Opposition Of
Gompers and His Aids.

DANVILLE, H.. Nov. 4.-Cannon
this afternoon gave out the following
statement: "The returns so far in
dicate | have received a plurality of
5000 which is slightly in excess of
normal. In view of the persistent
opposition of Gompers and his agents,
and the attacks of leaders, and the
saloon league the outcome is extreme
ly gratifying to me. 1t indicates that
though some good people outside the
district were deceived a few people
inside the district did not understand
the real situation. | am gratified
that the republican party has achiev-
ed such a splendid victory The cleo
tion of Taft and Sherman, with a re
publican congress, no doubt will re
suit in a complete restoration of con
fidence. The party will keep the
pledges made in the platform. We
can and will revise the tariff, giving
full protection to the employe. The
revision can be promptly accomplished
after the Inauguration of Taft, withou
disturbing business conditions"
