ROCHE AND ROGERS
FOR THE CABINET
Marquette Member For the
Interior Portfolio-Rogers
to Represent Alberta

Ottawa, Oct. 6-The Laurier gov
ernment held its final council meeting
today and the premier handed in his
resignation with that of his ministers
to Earl Grey. Mr.. Borden has intimat-
ed that he will not be ready to assume
before Saturday at least. His cabinet
making is slow procedure and he ia
apparently finding considerable diff
Guilty in making up his mind as to
whom to select fro mthe crowd of as
ptrants for the long coveted honors
of ministerial positions. He will
probably not be ready before Tuesday
complete list of the men chosen for
the cabinet. The swearing in Of the
ministers is expected to take place on
Wednesday next.
Mr.. Borden's cabinet selections
though still finally not settled. are
generally becoming known through
the process of elimination of unneces-
mediately after the election Mr.. Bor-
den will in accordance with previous
declarations of public policy. give the
prairie provinces additional represen-
tation in the cabinet.
Roche and Rogers
DR.. Roche of Marquette the senior
Conservative member elect from the
west. will represent Manitoba in the
new administration and will probably
be minister of the interior Hon. Rob
ert Rogers will receive the reward he
claims by being included as the second
minister from the west and will rep
resent Saskatchewan. A place will be
made for him by the retirement of
Mr.. Mckay in Prince Albert. Sena-
tor Lougheed. the Conservative leader
in the senate. is generally regarded as
ri A
berta. He may be made solicitor-gen-
eral with a seat in the cabinet without
portfolio.
From British Columbia A. S. Good
eve Is still regarded as the best man
available. Premier Mcbride. if he so
desires. can hold precedence over Mr..
Goodeve.
Hector McInncs Likely
The appearance here yesterday of
Hector Mc1nnes of Halifax, warm
and old personal friend of Mr.. Borden,
and a man of the highest reputation
as an able lawyer. has given rise to a
well-defined rumor that the Conserva-
tive leader wants him as an associate
In his cabinet. Neither Mr.. Rhodes
nor Mr.. Stanfield are apparently anxi-
GUS for cabinet preferment and it is
stated by those in close touch with
Mr.. Borden that he has desired Nova
Scotia should continue to have two
cabinet representatives and that Mr..
Mc1nnes should come in.
For the New Brunswick representa-
ton, Premier Hazen appears to have
won out over o. S. Crockett although
the turning down of the latter will
give rise to some chickering's. Premier
Hazen has the support of the capital
lists and society" influence.
May Try Monk
The Quebec situation is clearing up
with the semi-official announcement
that Mr.. Monk is to be given a trial
at least. 1t Is stated that no definite
pledge has been given by Mr.. Borden
as to plebiscite on the naval aues-
ton, but that the difficulty of working
harmoniously with the Nationalist
representative will be shelved for the
present by leaving the whole matter
open for future consideration at a
party caucus after parliament meets.
Chase Casgrain. for whom a seat will
be found in Montmorency, will almost
certainly be the other French Cana
dian representative in the government.
Mr.. Doherty, is as previously intimat-
ed. slated for the portfolio Of justice.
He will also represent the Irish Catho-
lies in the government. If. Mr.. Perley
finally declines owing to his health to
ministrating a department his place
will probably be filled by H. B. Ames.
The valuable services of Rodolphe
Forget as organizer of the financial
and protectionist forces behind the
Conservatives campaign will be re-
Harded by his inclusion in the cabinet
without portfolio.
