hour initiation ceremony here, partici-
pated in by ranking officials OF the

Battle Around Hoover.

A month ago Senator Harding had
about made up his mind to name Her.
bert Hoover to be Secretary OF the In
terror There is no reason, to believe at
this date that he has changed his mind.
Many persons and interests have tried
to change his mind for him. for around
Mr.. Hoover RACES one of the silent, fu-
rious struggles of the Cabinet situation.
There is still better than an even chance
that Mr.. Hoover will be named despite
the attacks that have been made on him.
Most of the objections TO Mr. Hoover
have been from oranges and farmers
bodies, who recall angrily that Mr..
Hoover set a price for grain in the war
days, but Senator Harding has not yet
been persuaded that what Mr.. Hoover
did as food controller need have the
slightest bearing on his fitness to ad'
minister the great Department of the
Interior.
Another pitched battle is being fought
over the Agriculture post. with Henry c
Wallace Of Iowa, publisher and success
full practical farmer. as~the storm CEN
tire. The heaviest fight against Mr.
Wallace is being made by the Chicago
packers. These have arrayed against
Mr.. Wallace the large, varied interests
they dominate, including the leading
livestock marketers
Two or three delegations have beer
here from Chicago. the headquarters Of
the opposition to Mr.. Wallace, and the
members have spoken their pieces tc
Senator Harding. Now the Senator
awaits a similar anti-Wallace delegation
from the East. This is expected in q
day or so and DR.. David Jayne Hill, ac-
cording to report, has been asked K
present the point of view of this group
which represents live stock interests OF
the eastern part of the country.

many political" appointments to the
Cabinet. the struggle of different spe-
cial interests to get their men IN office
or to prevent the selection Of a man
they believe wculd be inimicable has
brought new lines of worry to Senator
Harding's brow. The effort to "place"
men has passed the polite stage and has
settled down into a pulling g-hauling con-
test and tug OF war, the disagreeable
and irritating features OF which are

The third fight swirls around the La.

whats the answer" l
asked one of the statesmen.
Confidence, first; and
then-we have the goods.
Look here"-and I picked
up a typewriter report on
other clothing sales around
New York.
One large Store
that claims to have re-
duced prices-had a small
selection of mems suits at
$50, but their general stock
ranged from $65 to 500.
Another store
claims that all suits have
been reduced; but there is
no indication as to what the
reduction is. And so on
down the list.
Everybody is talking
lower prices; and it seems
to me that most men who
are really interested in
lower clothing prices are
here at Wanamaker's this
morning-January 4th.
I'm here myself
and I'm supposed to be
something of a clothing

why so many others arc
here.
