ton. that of Secretary Of Commerce
G-- --a5Or.
Daniels's Chances Good.
Josephus Daniels, national commit
teeman from North Carolina and head
of the Wilson publicity bureau, is the
man most talked of for Postmaster
General, and Mr.. Daniels hasn't dis
couraged this talk in the least. Gov
ernor Wilson is fond Of Mr.. Daniels
and recognizes the vast amount Of
work that he did.
1t is expected that Governor Wilson
will recognize the Progressive Republi
cans by giving one Of their number a
place among his advisers, and in this
connection Louis Brandeis, the Boston
reformer, looms up big for the office Of
Attorney General. Governor Wilson is
an admirer of Mr.. Brandeis, and ii was
through him that one Of the big issues
Of the campaign came, one that was
made considerable Of by Governor Will
SOIlt AllS lNS uiclbAOll VI NOlAAPCblNiOlls
Mr. Brandeis is an expert on the
trust question, and there has never
been any indication that there was
difference between Governor Wilson's
views and his own. Governor Wilson,
1t is expected, will turn to Mr. Brande!s
for advice when the settlement Of
some Of the big economic questions
comes up and for this reason he Is
the post Of Attorney General.
The names of a large number have
been mentioned for Secretary Of State,
including that of William ]. Bryan,
but there is general feeling that he
would not accept the place, even II It
were offered to him. and up to date 1t
mas not been offered.
Palmer May Be His Premier.
A. Mitchell Palmer, the sturdy young
Pennsylvania Congressman who led the
Wilson forces on the floor Of the Baltl-
more convention, is regarded as q strong
possibility for this post. He is q strong
and clear-headed leader, with a striking
presence. It was due to his support more
than to any one else that Mr.. Wilson
won the nomination, and IL Mr.. Palmer
does not land the premiership or some
other place in the Cabinet there will be
much surprise among those who know
Governor Wilson.
II may be that Governor Wilson will
pay little heed TO geographical lines in Sc
Iecting his Cabinet, and in this event It
looks as though the portfolio Of the Treas
ury will go to William g. McAdoo. The
tunnel builder stoutly asserts that he
wants no place. His business would not
let him take it, he says, but those in the
confidence Of Governor wilson know how
important he considers the Treasury. and
in selecting a head Of that department he
intends to select one IN whom he has un-
limited confidence. Mr.. McAdoo fills the
hill. and there seems little doubt but that
he can have the place IL he wants TO take
It,
Governor Wilson will in all probability
turn 10 the Middle West for the secre-
taries OF War, Navy, Agriculture and the
Interior. 1t would not be surprising II
Edward F. Goltra received the post OF
Secretary Of the Navy. He is a close
friend of William J. Bryan and has been
an untiring worker in Governor Wilson's
behalf.
There has been some gossip as TO DR..
wvue becoming Secretary Of Agriculture,
md nothing yet has appeared to discour-
zoe Il Rudolph Spreckels, OF California,
also has been mentioned among the gos-
sins for Secretary OF War. General Nell
con A Miles, u. S. A. (retired), is another
yvbo has been mentioned for that port
folio.
Among those discussed for Secretary
OF the Interior are Congressman Albert
A Burleson, Of Texas. and Judge w. r.
King of Oregon. 1t is believed that the
Pacific Coast viii be recognized by Gov
ernor Wilson in making up his Cabinet.
and II Mr.. Spreckels is not chosen for
one Of the posts the probabilities are that
Mr. King will get the post Of Secretary OF
the Interior
II is not believed that Mr.. McCombs
will take a place in the Cabinet, although
he doubtless can have one IL he wants
IT. Although Mr.. McCombs is now APP
parently in good health. his friends fear
that The strain of a Cabinet place would
be too much for him. There is little
doubt that Mr.. McCombs will be recog-
nized handsomely for what he has done,
for Governor Wilson knows the value or
his advice and wants him near him.
