torney-general assigned to the interior
department when Garfield was secre-
tary, and like Senator Chamberlain,
there is not the slightest chance that
he would consider the place unless the
men who have fought the Cunning
ham and Morgan-Guggenheim fight
with and for Ballinger were dropped
from the government payrolls.
Charles r. Van Hise, president OF the
University. of Wisconsin, has earned
national reputation both as an ad-
ministrator and educator, and besides
has taken an active part in advancing
the movement for a land reform pol
Icy and for conservation. w. o.

the secretary's ONCE Is vacated, Is q

interior depart.

ministration of the interior depart
ment
The lists will remain open until
after Ballinger resigns, and there Is
still chance for dark horse" who
is not now considered In the running.
II Is probable that one or two OF the
men who have been named would not
be found anxious to be considered
candidates for the secretaryship, not
withstanding the fact that In point OF
responsibility the ONCE Is considered
by many to be the most important
cabinet position In the gift Of the
president.
The trouble which Ballinger began
to stir up a few weeks after coming
into office has continued for 16 or II
months, and a demoralized depart
ment with hundreds of loose ends In
organization, and with policy which
Is an attempt at straddle between
Morganheimism and the support Of
conservation, does not offer anything
very encouraging to that man who
might aspire to step into the Seattle
mans boots. When Ballinger goes, it
Is expected that Assistant Secretary
Pierce. Commissioner bennett, George
ObiS OoSdA lo"ACAs oho 30
hans one or two of the other sub
ordinates will either resign or be
dropped. All Of the men named have
become involved In the trouble over
the CLAWS charges, and have tried to
save the present secretary from MS
impending fate.
While Ballinger has not by any
means become reconciled to the idea
Of enforced resignation to please Sena-
tor Crane. Secretary Norton, or any
OF the others who have plans for
bringing quiet on the Republican sea
Of troubles, 1t Is realized even by the
secretary's friends that his days of
usefulness to the party are at an end.
The date of his going may or may
not be Sept. Is. the time set In the
Beverly dispatches, which evidently
had semi-official sanction. Ballinger's
presence In the cabinet is giving most
trouble to the regular" candidates for
reelection to congress who are COM
PEELED to defend him almost every
time they appear at public gather
ing. The farther the campaign pro-
crosses, the harder the regulars claim
the task will be, and the more chance
the insurgents and the Democrats,
who are lambasting the secretary, will
have at the polls. So, while Ballinger
kicks and declares that he will not re-
sign to please his enemies. that he Is
not a gutter, and that the president
is the only one who can demand his
resignation, others In the administers
ton are already busy considering pos
sible candidates for the next secretary

From a staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Bly, the
time Secretary Ballinger hnaliy de-
cides to take the hint OF the ADMIN
istration leaders, who would rather
see him out of the cabinet than IN IT,
the president will have had caiied 10
his attention the names OF perhaps
dozen men as the probable successors
of the one-time Cunningham lawyer.
Roth socalled regulars and progress
sizes have been suggested Tor the
Mace. CORPORATION lawyers and hght-
ers for land reform policies, non-con-
servationists and ,conservationlsts.
The list of possibilities named 10 ua'e
include the following:
Senator Frank p. Flint, OF Gail
fornia.
Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon. OF Mon
tana.
Senator George f. Chamberlain, OF
Oregon.
w. O. Thompson, of Ohio.
Charles r. Van Hise. OF Wisconsin.
REPRESENTATIVE Duncan Z. Mckin-
lay, OF California.
While Senator Flint's name, for one
reason or the other, has been brought
nm more than that of any other man,
his selection is not probable because
OF his former alliance with the South
ern Pacific political machine In Cali
fornia Joseph M. Dixon, the junior
senator from Montana, seems to stand
better chance, providing the presi-
dent Is disposed to appoint an inde-
pendent. Dixon knows all there Is to
be known about administration OF land
laws. is thoroughly conversant with
conditions I'm the west. and besides, Is
chairman Of the committee on con-
servation of natural resources, In the
senate. Senator Chamberlain, OF Ore
gon, has been mentioned as the best
man Taft could appoint, II he Is to
name a progressive Democrat. IL is
not probable, however that the presi-
dent will put another Democrat In the
cabinet, and Il Is altogether unlikely
that Chamberlain would accept the Of
fee unless a thorough cleanup OF the
department could be made. and n seri-
