COLBY APPOINTMENT
CAUSES INDIGNATION
OF DEMOCRAT HEADS

WASHINGTON, Feb. &c. - The
forced resignation of Secretary of
State Lansing caused no more aston
ishment and amaZement in Washing
ton than did the announcement from
the White House that President Will
sun has selected Rainbridge Colby,
former Republican, former Progress
sive. and lately a Wilson Democrat,
as the new secretary of state.
Democratic senators are indignant
as we'll as shocked. While few Of the
Democratic leaders would talk for pub
lication, they used expressions in pri-
vate conversations with newspaper
men that would almost melt the wires
if trusted to the telegraph.
Senator King, Democrat. of Utah,
said for quotation that "Mr Colby's
nomination for secretary of state is a
keep disappointment to Democrats and
indeed it is an insult to Democrats,
especially New York Democrats
This was Senator Kings public dec
laration. but in private conversation
he used descriptive terms that were
even less complimentary.
Il thought Mr.. Colby was a Bull
Mooser. I simply can't understand the
President" said Senator Shields,
Democrat of Tennessee.
Hitchcock Astonished.
Senator Hitchcock, Democratic Sen
ate leader, admitted his astonishment,
but the comment he made in reference
to the appointment is not for publica-
ton.
There must be something wrong
with the Presidents head" was the
statement of Senator Sterling, Repub-
lican. of North Dakota, a senator who
usually is extremely conservative in
what he says and who usually meas
ures his words.
The objection raised to Mr.. Colby
selection is not based alone on the fact
that he is a man without party, but
to his erratic temperament and his
total lack of experience in matters
that would qualify him to deal with the
nations foreign affairs. He Is educa-
ted. talented. and affable. but he is
regarded as irrational from the stand
point of practicability. Those who are
acquainted with his erratic views say
that it is far less Objectionable that
his mind must go along" with that of
the President than it would be should
the Presidents mind go along with
his

fore bottom center and closing 8 de-
grees late, in any l. head engine with

TO- Why is current output regula-
ton necessary in generator?
The regulation Of current output in
a generator OF a car is necessary as
increased speed would turn out the
lamps and injure the generator, and
charge the storage battery to an ex-
cess. When the engine is accelerated
the speed ct the generator is in
creased, and it's output of current
is increased, until a certain limit OF
output is reached, when a cut OUT
automatically shuts off current pro-
duction to battery and lamps.
