sistarts-No "Office Boy Cabinet.

Leonard Wood has shown his large
mindedness in selecting the best men
to aid in his administrative work. en-
joying always their personal regard

acity, and as President would CON-
mand the aid Of brainy and talented
men in administering national affairs.

to the spectacle of cabinet members

ly to follow lead nor to their being
dismissed with the same lack of cere-
mony that marks the parting of an
employer with an Office boy.
