Washington, ID. C.. Dec. 0.
President-elect Harding will be urged
by prominent Republicans and many
Democrats throughout the South to
recognize that section of the country in
his Cabinet appointments. The move
ment Is rapidly growing.
It Is understood here that several
prominent Republican leaders OF North
ern States are ready to join in the
recommendation as matter OF party
policy, with the hope that the remark
able gain OF Republican votes In the
South In the recent election may be not
only held In future but increased by
carrying North Carolina, Georgia and
Louisiana to add to Tennessee and Okla
homa, which went Republican this year.
The Cabinet post which Southern lead
ers have unanimously agreed to ask OF
President-elect Harding Is secretary Of
Agriculture. They declare that because
the South Is the greatest agricultural
section OF the country and almost wholly
devoted to that pursuit. no other Cabinet
position would mean 30 much to the
Southern people. Former Senator Marion

ers; he has all his life been identified
with every movement for the advance
ment OF agriculture and has the highest
order Of administrative ability.
The placing OF former Senator But
Ter in that position will mean that Presi-
dent Harding will have the greatest Sec
rotary of Agriculture who has ever filled
that position. and at the same time will
mean more for the success Of the Re-
publican party in our State and the
whole South than anything else which
can be done during his administration"

The Social Service federation of the First Baptist church has announced Q meeting at the church, corner Third avenue and Monroe street, tomorrow night, opening at 7:30 o'clock, to which the public is cordially invited.

 The executive committee considers itself extremely fortunate in securing Dean Scarlet fer this address, and the federation is particularly anxious that all the Christian workers in various churches Of all denominations, as well as the strangers in the city, take ad- vantage of this opportunity to hear him. knowing that his message will be helpful and worth while.
 The sessions of the federation are always free, not even cash offerings are accepted, and large audiences are always desired.
