Washington Hears President
Has Settled on Pennsylvan-
ian for High Position
CABINET SAID TO FAVOR
HIS APPOINTMENT
Declined Portfolio Of War Be-
cause He Is a Quaker and
Is Committed to Ideals of
Peace

Washington. June 2e.--A. Mitchell
Palmer, OF Pennsylvania. recently APP
pointed q justice Of the United States
Court Of Claims, is being favorably
considered by President Wilson as the
successor TO Robert Lansing az coun-
seIor to the State Department.
The President has discussed the APP
pointmsnt with his cabinet. and the
selection has been approved by them.
The only element of doubt regarding
the eventual announcement of Pal
mer's selection is q desire on the part
of some Of the Presidents advisers
to feel out the sentiment of the coun-
try and the Democratic leaders to-
ward the proposed appointment Cab
met members and other administra-
ton officials are now engaged In a
quiet inquiry to determine IL Pelmers
appointment would meet general ap-
provai.
The President recognizes that the
most OF counsellor Of the State Depart
ment has been greatly digniffed by the
tenure OF Mr.. Lansing and his prede-
cessor, John Bassett Moore. The fact
that the place was given such i'm
portance by the character and re-
sponsibilities of Mr.. Lansing's service
has impressed the President with the
fact that the successor TO Lansing in
the present International crisis must
be a man in whom the country has
confidence, not only In respect OF his
character but Of his ability. He has
considered Mr.. Palmer as a man
measuring UP to those requirements.
Wants Good Party Man
The President Is DESTROYS OF chcos-
Ing conspicuous party man for this
tcounscllorship. provided this can be
done without sacrificing any Of the re-
quirsnsef1ts 1T suitability. He has fix7
ed on Ex-Congreasman Palmer a. thu
man measuring up to this requires
ment Mr.. Palmer was a member OF
Congress from Pennsylvania until
March 4. He was floor leader of the
Woodrow Wilson forces at the Balti-
more convention. Since 1912 he haa
served as the emphatic national COM
mitteeman from Pennsylvania and rs
chairman OF the executive committees
of the national committee.
Aside from his position in the man
agement of the Democratic party,
Palmer has strong place personally
In the esteem OF President Wilson. II
is known that the President rendered
him the portfolio OF Secretary OF War
when he was making up his cabinet
slate In 1912. Palmer declined the
place because he IL . Quaker and
committed to ideals OF peace.
