10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your leading editorial OF this

presses, in my judgment. the feelings
OF the country. 1t is no time for sec
ond raters' or personal friends in the
Cabinet Many voted for Mr.. mardinr
erudingly, the writer included; the one
great desire Of the country was to rid
it Of Wilson, hence the vast majority
given Mr.. Harding.
One thing is certain. and pleasurablv
30, and that IS, Mr. Harding, by the
democratic simplicity Of his manner
and movements ard the happy style Of
his public utterances. mas drawn 80 him
the admiration OF those who supported
his candidacy half-heartcdlv.
Woodrow Wilson had the opportunity
Of being great and heroic figure in
American history. but through his ego-
tism ard impatiencc Of any ones onin-
ION that clashed with his has reduced
himself to tho lonely and rItiable state
nc row finds himself lr. Mr.. Hardinr
has the whole country at his back. The
making Of his Cabinet VIII he the first
,est Of his mind and thought.
AZ The Tribune wel says, there arc
three men in the public eye that he can
draw upon. in the persons Of Root,
Wood and Hoover. that will start his
administration of in way taat any
manor mistake win be mnmized and
forgotten. Let us hope and pray.

THAT nothing contained in this
