Mr.. Roots Name Carries WEIGHT.

AS for the republican member, I am
informed that reports that Mr..
Hughes or Mr.. Taft would be chosen
are incorrect. There has been some
consideration given to the name Of
former Ambassador Myron T. Herrick,
who won the esteem of the French
people, and some discussion of former
Gov. Samuel w. Mccall of Massachu-
setts, but no name seems to carry the
same weight as that of Elihu Root.
former Secretary of State and personal
friend of Secretary Lansing. Mr.. Root
of all the republicans suggested is
most familiar with international at
fairs.
The only objection one hears to the
selection Of Mr.. Root comes from those
who believe the radicals and liberals
abroad would misunderstood the an
rointment. Quite a hulabaloo was raised
ty the appointment of Mr.. Root to head
The American mission to Russia. on the
ground that his early affiliations with
corporate interests made him unrecep-
tive to the progressive ideas Of an in
dustria1 democracy. Something of the
same opposition is being whispered
enew, but answer to it is usually made
by the suggestion that the President
should put conservative as well as q
radical on SO important a thing as q
peace delegation which must be repre-
sentative OF all American interests. The
selection of Louis d. Brandeis to repre-
