from ten to twenty active members

has the plan met with a rebuff.
The Salvation Army is offering each

This means its trained personnel, its
institutions and its various depart

community offers to cooperate with
the Salvation Army in relieving dis

NOT TO WEAKEN
RULE IN SENATE

Pennsylvania and in favor of Charles
Evans Hughes for Secretary of State.
The pressure of recommendation ana
objection for and against candidates is
growing stronger each day. although
Senator Miles Poindexter is the first CT
the Harding visitors openly to announce
that he came specifically to make rec
concentrations about Cabinet post.
Strength was added to Poindexter's
plea for Joseph Dixon of Montana as
Secretary of the Interior by the fact
that Dixon is thoroughly familiar with
reclamation work in the West, to which
the new administration is pledged. He
also is counted among the progressive
wing OF the Republican party, recogni-
ton for which is desired.

There seems a consensus of opinion
that Harry M. Daugherty will he named

culture The name of Senator Capper,
Kansas, also is heard in this connec-
ton
Much discussion has arisen over the
possibility of including Senator Weeks
of Massachusetts, in the Cabinet. One
objection outlined here seems to be that
the determination to have Vice Presi-
dent Coolidge sit as a Cabinet officer
without portfolio would give Massachu-
sets adequate representation. Weeks has
been mentioned for both Treasury, War
and Navy

Senator New OF Indiana, 1t is known on
best authority, is disinclined to forsake
the Senate for the Cabinet, but should
he do SO, the Department of War is the
only one he would consider. Representa-
tive Kahn Of California is being urged
for the post. and many, 1t is said, would
approve the appointment Of Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon, Democrat, who
failed for reelection.
Candidates for the post Of Secretary of
Labor are not particularly numerous
