Is Urged for
Cabinet Place
Poindexter Asks Harding to
Appoint Former Montana
Senator as Secretary of
Interior TO Please West
Familiar With Problems
Represents Progressive Ele'
ment; Elected Recently
as Governor of State
From O stay Correspondent

MARION. Ohio, Dec 21.-The odore
Roosevelts close friend, former Sena-
TOR Joseph NJ Dixon, OF Montana. is
being urged upon President-elect Har-
ding as a Secretary OF the Interior
who would be highly acceptable to the
Western states Senator Miles Poin-
dexter, Of Washington, who called on
Senator Harding to-day. told him the
appointment Of Mr. Dixon would allay
apprehension OF the transmissouri
river country concerning this office.
Il very earnestly recommend the
appointment of former Senator Dixon
to the Interior portfolio" said Senator
Poindexter. Thought Senator Dixon.
who was chairman Of the Progressive
National Committee in 1912. has just
been elected Governor of Montana on
the Republican ticket by majority Of
DO COO. that should prove no bar to
his appointment to the Cabinet The
people of his state. realizing how
mighty hard it is to get a good Sec
retary of the Interior would be de-
lighted to have him resign IS Gov
ernor to enter the Cabinet.
Senator Dixon is not candidate, If
course, for this appointment, but the
great problems with which the lntc-
ror Department must deal are the
problems of his section of the country
and he knows them thoroughly. Move
over, he would represent the great pro-
gressive element of the country, and,
finally he has been u notable success
in his business life and has the req
uisite standing and political distlnc-
ton"
Familiar With Reclamation
There are several excellent reasons
for believing that Senator Harding is
favorably Inclined toward having Mr..
Dixon head the Interior Department.
In the first place, Senator Harding is
pledged to resume the great work of
reclamation that was begun by Roose-
welt Mr. Dixon is said to be well in
formed concerning the needs of the
W est in this respect, and is particular
ly well informed regarding Roosevelt's
ideas on the subject.
Then, again. Senator aldng is
anxious to placate the progressive
wing of the Republican party by an
important c binet appointment This
particular post was coveted by Jake
damon, who as national committeeman
from his state actually delivered it's
electoral vote for the Republican
nominee Harry Daugherty, whose
sugg, .ons are strong recommended
fiors with Senator Harding, was very
kindly disposed toward the aspirations
Of Mr.. Hamon. The death of the
Oklahoma millionaire left Senator
Fall as the most desirable individual
for the post on Sena- II Harding's list,
krt CpratOr Fall G0acu't want tO ba
Secretary of the Interior.
In addition to these considerations
Mr.. Dixon's home is happily situated
from the standpoint of geographical
political considera tions. The West is
bound to get at least one place, and
as Senator Harding no longer IS
obliged to worry about Senator Hiram

OF Gideon than she has admit

the murder, and Gideon, who
has loved Jane from the FIRST

"Sbringtime In
Mayo" Wins Big
Oliver Cr0WdS
Fiske O'Hara and Patricia
Clary Score in Irish
Melody Drama.

With a cast capable of bringing
out all there is in "Springtime in
Mayo" that pleasing Irish melody
drama captivated a capacity audi
cnCe at the Oliver theater last night.
'Springtime IN Mayo" which is
brimful OF comedy. is presented by
Augustus PitOu, Inc.
Fiske O'Hara, who plays the lead
ing male role. is rightly named the
'actor-singer," for ne acts and sings
TO the full approval of his audience.
His Characterization Of a rOllicking
young Irishman who returns home
from America, filled with the indie
pendence Of that country to marry
the girl he loves while trying to be-
friend another woman even at the
expense OF his brother, Is cleverly
done.
Mr.. O'Hara has a splendid tenor
voice, and his rendition during the
evening of several melodies includ-
ing "Springtime in Mayo" "a Bit o.
the Brogue," Top o the Morning"
The Lilac Tree" and Don't You
Love the Dreams of Dear Old Ire
land" win encore after encore. AS
Terrence McWarner" he is a de-
cided success.
Mr.. O'Hara, Is so natural. so ac-
cOmplished in her portrayal of
Betty Walsh" the girl who is 10
marry "Terence's" brother, Lord
Roger McWarner," because her
father wants her to. and because
she has money and Lord Roger Nc
Warner" wants money above all
things, that she wins the audience
from the very moment that she APP
pears.
Frederick Pymm as Lord Nc
Warner" also does some excellent
acting. His part is usually difficult
because the character he portrays
is one designed to meet disapproval.
Nan Bernard as Lady Olga" the
one who is befriended by Terrence"
ranks high in acting ability, and
possesses a charming personality.
George Sharp does good work in
portraying an Irish-Canadian. Mary
Louise Malloy as Hanna Walsh,
"Betty's" aunt, causes the laughter
caused by the other characters to
continue.
]. p. Sullivan. W. T. Sheehan and
J. Z. Miller do excellent work in
their parts.
The orchestra deserves special
mention. a cello solo by George
BOrnhaupt piano solo by Paul
Yartin, and violin solo by Morris
Primer were well received.
"Springtime in Mayo" is one of
the most enjoyable entertainments
offered by the Oliver theater man
agement during the present season.
