Neb., that of the treasury; Harry NJ.
Daugherty of Ohio, that of justice.
and Henry Wallace of Iowa, that of
agriculture.
That it as far as the official of the
national committee would go. He
did say, however, that there was
much opposition to Mr.. Wallace IN
the committee in some sections of
the country on the ground that he
might prove too radical to the pack
ing interests, as he and Senator
Kenyon of Iowa have been close po-
litical friends for years and think
along similar lines on many eco
nomic questions.
