WHY NOT?

At this date the choosing of any cabinet is premature. The reasons are too obvious to mention. Yet the sug gestion offered by a politician in this city Saturday that the name of Fred erick Stanley Chamberlain should be advanced as Secretary of the Treasury in the event of MT. Hughes election is one that lends itself admirably to the realm of happy thought. Were New Britain to have a hand in the placing of a cabinet it is doubtful if a more appropriate selection could be made than Mr. Chamberlain as Secretary of the Treasury. His en- tire life training fits him for the posi- ton. He is an expert in Money and Banking" and therefore qualified ent upon the Secretary who disperses the money for Uncle Sam.
 AS city and state treasurer, MT. Chamberlain has carved a reputation for himself that may attract national attention should the people of the United States decree there be a change in administrations. If this should come about, MT. Hughes and his po- litical advisors could do no better than give him the place in the cabinet now occupied by William Gibbs McAdoo. Not only New Britain but every city in the state of Connecticut would share equally in the honor of having a native son. grace the board around which sits the Presidents official fam fly. And MT. Chamberlain could do this with no small degree of ability. Without wishing any harm to the pres ent occupant of the main office of the Treasury Building we trust that, should Hughes be elected, this pres ent day suggestion will not be lost
