Harding Has Busy
Day with "Best
Minds" of Country

Marion, o., Dec. 20.-Eresident-
elect Farding's conferences on the
policies of his administration ranged
far and wide today among the nations
foreign and domestic problems and
gave him the benefit of advice from
upwards of a dozen of the best
minds" he has invited into consulta-
ton.
Two of those with whom he has
talked about domestic questions have
been persistently mentioned for cabi-
net positions, and their coming stimu-
lated speculation about the possibility
of their appointment to the next pres
ident's official family. They were
Charles G. Dawes. Chicago banker,
and Henry Wallace of Des Moines. Ia,
an editor of farm publications.
With the former Mr.. Harding talked
of financial conditions and tax reforms,
and with the latter discussed farmer
relief.
Senator John X. Shields Of Tennes-
see. a Democratic member of the for
eign relations committee and an ire
concilabic opponent of the Versailles
treaty, conferred with the president
elect about the plan for an association
Of nations and gave his approval of
the general principles proposed by Mr..
Harding for an international court.
The league question also was discussed
by the President-elect with Samuel
McCuna Lindsay. professor of social
legislation at Columbia, who said he
was confident that the foreign policies
of the~new administration were being
laid on a solid foundation.
The question of Mr.. Harding's early
resignation from the Senate was the
subject of a conference between him
and Senator elect Frank B. Willis.
whom Governor Cox has agreed to APP
point to the vacancy. 1t was said aft
erward that no decision was reached
and tn, friends of the president-elect
took this delay as meaning that he
probably would not retire until the
new Republican governor of Ohio takes
office early in January.
Among other callers during the day
were Governor Sproul of Pennsylva-
MIA, W. w. Atterbury. vice president
of the Pennsylvania railroad. and MI
chael Gallagher of Cleveland. an Off
cial of the Hanna interests. all of
whom talked about financial and rail-
way conditions.
There was no evidence that anything
definite regarding cabinet appoint
ments developed between the president
elect and Mr.. Dawes or Mr.. Wallace.
Some of Mr.. Harding's closest
friends believe he still has an open
mind about most of the cabinet Sc
Nlections and that none has been deter
mined upon finally.
