HARDING RIDES
over HOOVER'S
BITTER ENEMIES
Defes Foes In Naming
| linn o Cabinet
Place
Bv II. N. RICKET.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - The
suggestion has frequently been made
that if Harding gave Hoover a cab
met appointment, a group of sena-
tors headed by Hiram Johnson would
oppose and If possible prevent his
continuation. There is nothing in
this, beyond the fact that several SEN
atcrs, among them johnson, would
like TO do it, if they could get away
with it.
The very fact that Harding has
decided to have Hoover in his cab
met proves that he knows that, how
ever bitterly Johnson and the others
may feel, there is no possibility OF
their being able to bloci, the con-
tirmation and very little chance that
they even will attempt it.
but although the opposition to
Hoover will not go to such lengths,
it is known in Washington that ire
mendous pressure was brought upon
Harding by the politicians TO prevent
tle appointment.
The chief argument used by the
opposition was that such defiance OF
hiram Johnson would be a great
political mistake; that more was to
be gained politically by phcating
than antagonizing Johnson.
Harding Steadfast.
The best information obtainable
here is to the effect that Harding
has never weakened from the lirsL
in his idea to have Hoover in the
cabinet if Hoover would cone in.
Two months ago Harding IS report
ed to have said to one of his call
ers: Il consider Herbert Hoover a
man of great ability and | am sure
that his appointment to cabinet
post would meet with public appro-
baton. He individually has as great
personal following and the conn
dence of as many people as any man
in public life"
If the Hoover opposition ever had
any chance of keeping him out OF
the cabinet they defeated their own
ends by overplaying their hands.
Hoover's Policies.
Those who have been in close
touch with Hoover during the past
six months say that as the interna-
tional situation has developed he has
become more and more convinced
that an American policy of aloofness
is impossible. We must do every
thing possible to help Europe get on
her feet if we are to have any real
prosperity in this country.
Hoover is thoroughly committed to
the policy of the limitation of arma-
ments by agreement among the great
powers. He has made several speech
es lately in which he has pointed out
that if the leading nations continue
to spend the vast sums on armies
and navies that they are now spend
ing, the only possible result is bank
ruptcy.
1t may also be expected that
Hoover will interest himself in the
question of administrative efficiency,
particularly as it is effected by bet
ter coordination of the executive
departments and the adoption of q
real budget system.

After several hours of Pertuba-

ia, wife of the noted surgeon, DR..
Michael Hoke, and her sister, Mrs.
Loring Raoul, who stopped over
in Americas Saturday night re-
turning by motor from Florida, got
on their way homeward at 80
this afternoon.
They We're being driven by the
Hoke family chauffeur, who hap
pened to be Wes Shealey, a negro
born and reared in Americus.
When the ladies retired last eve
ming Mrs. Hoke gave Wes $40
and ordered him to place their
Franklin touring car in a garage
for the night. Instead, Wes beat
it to the John Council farm east
of Americus, where friends and
kinspeople live, and proceeded to
get his hide full of liquor. While
he was enjoying himself there, two
other negroes, John Patterson and
Joe Maddox, took the car and went
on a joy ride to the city. This
morning when the ladies were
ready to start for Atlanta there
was no chauffeur and no car. Man
ager Rogers of the Windsor hotel
dispatched bell boys to all the ga
RACES and found the car had not
been left at any of them. The
sheriff then was notified and he
started a hunt for the car. The
chauffeur in the meantime hurried
to the city and began a search
for the car with the aid of taxi
cabs. After several hours it was
located in a ditch near the colored
Masonic home in North Americus,
undamaged but requiring a wreck
ing crew to rescue it. When the
party started for Atlanta Wes was
again at the wheel.
