QUESTION As TO
SECRETARYSHIP
Politicians Raise Query AZ
to Appointment of Hughes
Secretary Should He
Retain Seat

IN the event that James Hughes
should retain his seat in the lower
house of Congress, which apears more
or less improbable at this particular
writing as the politicians size the
matter up, the question arises as to
the secretaryship OF the fifth district
representative. Mt Hughes is chair
man OF the committee on accounts,
but after March 4 the probability Of
his holding this chairmanship IN view
.of the Democratic house, even should
he hold his seat which as was remark
ed a few lines above might prove an
exceedingly soolhardy risk. the mat
ter as to the secretaryship is more or
less problcmatic As chairman Mr..
Hughes is entitled to a secretary and
a messenger. The secretary az pres
ent is fun blooded Caucasian, but
the messenger Is Ralph White, black,
and during the campaign White,
black, did heroic work, it is urged, for
his chief in The black belt Of the
fifth district. and was even played up
as the real secretary among the lbnor.
