man f. Mack, former chairman of
the national democratic committee,
was president he would make Fred
B. Lynch of ST. Paul a member of
his cabinet. This was the news
given out by Mr. Mack yesterday
Say this for me and make it as
strong as possible" said Mr.. Mack
of | were president of the United
States one member of my cabinet
would be Mr. Lynch. The north
west should have representative in
Mr.. Wilson's cabinet and Mr.. Lynch
is the logical man. He is fine
type of the Western gentleman
Mr.. Mack, who reached st. Paul
early with a party of eighteen, in
Guiding fifteen members of the New

was asked if he thought President
elect Wilson would have Mr. Lynch
in his cabinet. Mr.. Mack parted
the question by saying that that was
up to Mr.. Wilson.

He was asked what position Mr.
Lynch would most acceptably fill
and he answered without hesitation:
"If i had the appointment he would
be made secretary of the interior.
know he could fill it with credit to
himself and the nation"
Regarding the probability of w. J.
Bryan being made secretary of state,
Mr.. Mack had this to say:
II think that there is little doubt
that Mr.. Bryan will be offered that
position. / do not know whether he
will take it. Mr.. Bryan is a great
leader and Mr.. Wilson will look to
him as his principal adviser No
man has Mr.. Wilson's confidence
more than Mr.. Bryan"
Not Wilson's Advisor.
Mr.. Mack disclaimed any knowl-
edge that he would be selected to
advise Governor Wilson in the make
UP of his cabinet. He was positive
that Mr.. Bryan would do that.
Members Of the st. Paul Associa-
ton of Commerce met the party and
