TO trenton in an endeavor to fine
out definitely what the Democratic
chieftain intends to do in the way OF
cabinet making apparently learned
only one thing. and of course it is pos
sible that they did not learn this one
thing accurately. The chances are
however, that they did, and interviews
with the returned ones show that they
all are convinced of this: Every

Members of the coming dominant

New Jersey have come back seeming
ly convinced tha no conservative Dem

table of council. This bit of news may
not be to the liking of good many
Democrats of the United States. but II
must be set down here in the way OF
news as being the apparent belief o.
both conservative and progressive
Democrats who have talked TO Mr.
Wilson about the construction of his
cabinet. No names are given, but
men who will talk about it say that all
the names of the ultra-conservatives
of the party may be discarded wher
tables are being made of the possible
cabinet selections.
Conserv atives Resent This.
There is something of show of re
sentiment among the conservative
Democrats in Washington because OF
the course which they seem to thinf
Mr. Wilson is TO follow. The conser
vatives point even to Roosevelt, whom
they do not like at all, as an eXampl,
of what a progressive can do to bal
ance things. They are urging that Mr.
Roosevelt, Progressive. invited some
conservatives into his cabinet in or
der that he might get the benefit OF
both sides of every discussion.
There is no weeping evident il

gressive Democrats or in those of the
conservative and progressive Repub

himself with men who Will urge thai

The reason for the dearth of tears
among the progressive Democrats is
apparent The progressive Republic
ans like to see things moving ever
though motive power is supplied by
Democratic engine. The conservative
Republicans are glad that the presi
dent-elect is going to get move on
because they think the machinery
will go to smash before the years
journey is up. SO it is that everybody
apparently is happy except the conser
vatiye Democrats.
Field Rather Limited.
There are eighteen or twenty of the
progressive Democratic chieftains
who, as members of congress view it
are of the cabinet type. II would be
