Austria, containing a pathetic appeal
for help for himself and wife from the
more favored Austrians living in

reason of the shrinkage in value Of
Austrian money. is not sufficient to

himself and wife.

this martyrdom lasted during the Ave

Americans to ease our old days by
sending us q Christmas food package

Lord bless you for what you have done
to two old people who are dictated

HALL the thousands OF demo-
Gratis who voted the republican
ticket in the recent presidential
election receive recognition"
through the selection of democrat
for a cabinet appointment!
This question is agitating politicians
of both parties at the National Capt.
tai. and is being echoed in many sec
tions of the country. The suggestion
of bipartisan cabinet Is by no means
new, having been broached more tnan
once in recent years, but the unusual
circumstances of the last election
have added emphasis to the discus
sion.
No one, Of course, denies the very
patent fact that the marvellous repub-
lican victory of November could
only have been attained by detection
of democrats from their former party
allegiance. If all the republicans in

DEMOCRA AT FOR NEW CABINET
DISCUSSED BY POLITICIANS

the land-progressives regulars and
mugwumps-had voted for Harding
and Coolidge and the republican cam
didates for the Senate they could not
have rolled up such a tremendous ma
jority as was registered on election
day, Democrats, scores of thousands
of them, were necessary to pile up the
amazing majorities and pluralities.
So now the plan is being proposed
of reciprocating this bi-bartisan sup
port of the republican ticket with
recognition of democrats in appoint
ments to public office, and il not in q
general way, since there will be clam
orous demand from the republicans
who have been out of Office for eight
lean years, then in conspicuous man.
ner, such as the choosing of a cabinet
officer from the minority party.
The movement for recognition of the
democrats has taken a good start on
the Pacific coast, where Gov. Hart of
the state of Washington has an
nounced publicly that "it would be
gross ingratitude if the republican
party. now SO thoroughly in power,
Sn0ulQ T6InOfc utIuOSIdIlC OluCS-hOlu-
ers who are doing good work. 1 will
not discharge any democrat quicker
than a republican, and I will dis
charge either a republican or q demo-
crat if he is inefficient"
This demand for bipartisan repre-
sentation in the cabinet may run on
all fours with the demand for recog-
milton of one particular section of the,
country-the solid south-in a repub-
lican cabinet. President-elect Hard
ing, it is known, proposes to distrib-
ute patronage as evenly as possible
along geographical lines; to recognize
progressives and regulars. the east,
the middle west, the Pacific coast
states, and every section of the north.
The suggestion is going the rounds
that the President may be able to dll
both demands bipartisan cabinet
and a southern man in the cabinet
by appointing q prominent southern
democrat to the cabinet-some man of
pronounced broad ideas. removed from
sectionalism and the old sectional
prejudices and animosities.
The last advice given him by friends
who were taken to his bosom as coun-
selors was not to talk about cabinet
appointments until he had pretty well
made up his mind who he wanted.

BY N. o. MESSENGER.


r. OF March 5, when he looks over the
many problems confronting his adminis-
tration will perceive foremost in the
array the Mexican situation so-called
when President Wilson eight years ago as
sumed office he found relations between the
United States and the neighboring republic
approaching crisis. BY coincidence Mex
lean affairs will again be in the spotlight as
he hands the reins of administration to his
successor.
There will be this difference in the con-
ditions, however; President Wilson faced a de
facto government in Mexico, which had been
set up following revolution and assassination
President Harding will deal with President
OF Mexico chosen by the free ballot of Mexicans
following revolution and the violent death of
Carranza, provisional president having held
office in the interim. President Wilson re-
fused to recognize the Huerta regime on ac-
count OF it's bloody origin. and for months the
disturbed conditions in Mexico menaced the
peace Of the two nations
President Harding will be met at the ont
set with an appeal for recognition OF the
government of which President Obregon is
the head. The United States has withheld
recognizing the provisional government of
Mexico thus far. and probably will refrain
from extending it to Obregon, even after he
assumes Office November 80 as the lawfully
elected executive of the nation, unless in the
meantime Obregon and his cabinet should re-
peal certain unjust DEGREES affecting American
business made by Carranza and still in force
unoer the provisional government. Even So
PRESIDENT Wilson may follow Presidents Taft.s
example and leave the problems to his sue
cessor
fresident-eiect Obregon apparently foresees
this outcome for he has suspended his efforts
to obtain recognition by the incumbent ad-
ministratfon in the United States and is at
present making earnest effort to get in
touch with President-elect Harding and pave
the way for an entente cordiale which he
expects to result in early recognition of his
government by the new President
A letter was received in this city from ,
President-elect Oregon dated early in the
current month. in which he offered assurance
OF the firm intention of the incoming ad-
ministration in Mexico to follow a policy of
morals and adherence to law. It was eratifv-
ing to the American officials who saw it, and
regarded as happy omen Of better relations
in the future.
1t might be added that Gen. obregon had
previously been told most frankly and fatty
by his advisers in Washington that the Mex
lean government need not expect recognition
from the present administration as long as
the unjust decrees Of the Carranza govern
ment, contained In the constitution of 1917.

Study of Ways House May Be Reorganized
On Basis of Populations Shown by Census

Inhabitants in each state. Before
1890 1t was set in the Constitution
at one representative to every 50.-
900 persons. 1t has grown with
the years. the basis of apportion-
ment being changed each decade
as the census was taken. until to-
day 1t is one representative in Con-
gress to every 211.s77 persons.
Today Representative Siegel and
his committee. and behind them the
House. face a two-horned dilemma
Either the House must be en-
larged. or eleven states, politi-
caily important, will lose some rep
resentation. For years there has
been complaint that the House has
grown too large and unwieldy for
efficient legislation. The claim has
been advanced by leaders on both
sides that more efficient and expe-
ditious legislation could be ef-
fected by a body half the size.
Chairman Siegel has proposed to
his committee bill which would
put the basis of apportionment at
21S.979, instead Of 211.s77. as it
is now. This, he says. would avoid
cutting off any of the present rep
resentation of any state. He also
proposes that as a good business
proposition, the census should be
taken every five years instead of
every ten years, as under the pres
ent law. He hopes to get action
by the House on his measure dur
ing the sessions, which opens De-
cember 6. Other forces are gath
ering to fight against any big in
crease in the House membership.
AT the request of Representative
Siegel. the census bureau. has pre-
pared set of tables showing Just
what the condition would be for
any size House all the way from
435, the present membership. to
ABB members.
Briefly. the changes shown in
these tables are as follows:
For 436 members. ratio 240,7s2;
