ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OFFICIAL
SOURCE THAT SECRETARY WILL
NOT De REMOVED.
WILSON POLITICAL ASSET
FOR ADMINISTRATION
Of Democratic Committee on
Wiley Row Will Not Affect Taft's
Attituds-AHairs Of Department Now
Running Smoothly and Wilson il
Excellent Health.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Secretary Ut
Agriculture Wilson will remain in the
cabinet thru the present administra-
ticn. Unless unexpected contingencies
arise, President Taft will keep him.
1t is possible to say this with author
ity. Now that the row over the case
OF DR.. Wiley mas to a considerable ex-
tent settled down, whatever influences
adverse to Secretary Wilson's contin-
ued tenure in the cabinet may nave
been at work, and there have been
some. it is learned they have not been
sufficient to affect the president.
10 Political Asset.
Secretary Wilson is looked on as a
valuable asset In a political way. he
has done. President Taft some good
political turns recently. according to
reports in administration circles, N
the president a no mind to let MIN
go.
When congress meets the report OF
the Moss committee on the Wiley
charges will be in. 1t Is expected to
be a vitrolic document. Whether II
will criticize Secretary Wilson is not
known. That it will warmly uphoid
DR.. Wiley is certain. Solicitor McCaoe
will come in for a sharp scoring. IN
any event, however, the report OF a
democratic committee would not sur
fee to change the decision OF the pres
ident with respect to a cabinet onlcer.
Under the Encouragement as TO the
pure food and drug board, things are
running more smoothly. Fol some
weeks. while DR.. p. l.. Dunlap has
been on vacation, DR.. Wiley and DR..
Doolittle have been the pure food n
drug board. Solicitor McCabe is no
longer a member of that body. Now
DR.. Dunlap has returned. While the
question is not settled as to what Will
be done with DR.. Dunlap, it is sup
posed he will be retained on the board.
Dr.. Wiley and Dr.. Doolittle are in con-
troll Of 1t, anyhow. It is expected that
DIT. Doolittle. who was brought here
for temporary duty from New York,
will be retained on the board. Secre-
tary Wilson is now in his seventy
second year. But, in spite Of this, he
is still vigorous and in good health.
works hard! and shows no signs OF
worry.
