THREE CABINET
POSTS UNTITLED
Navy, Commerce, La
Dor Portfolios Per-
plex Harding.

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 16.-Hav
ing virtually determined seven of HI.
~ cabinet appointments, President
elect Harding and his chief political
advisors are finally sitting over the
available material for the portfolios OF
| navy, commerce and labor.
For the navy post, Frank 0. Low
den, of Illinois, is still considered q
possibility. with several others hold
ing an even chance should he finally
decline. Several names are in the hat
for. the secretaryship of commerce,
with the odds seeming to favor a south
ern Republican. The list of availables
for head of the labor department is
understood to have narrowed to four
men: James j. Davis. Of Pennsylvania /;
James Duncan. of Massachusetts; T.
V. OConnor of New York, and Repre-
sentative John l. Nolan. California.
Navy Most Troublesome
Ut the three vacant places, the
navy secretaryship is proving the
most troublesome to fill. In his orig
inal cabinet slate, Mr.. Harding is
understood to have allotted this post
to John w. Weeks, of Massachusetts,
his transfer to the war portfolio. It
is new regarded as certain that Mr..
Lowden can have the navy appointment
if he wants It.
The growing wage of agitation for
southern representation in the cabi-
net may land secretary of the navy
from south of Mason and Dixon's line,
but the general impression here is
that it will be more likely to be felt
in the choice for the secretary of
commerce. The movement is one of
the strongest influences now being
brought to bear on Mr.. Hardine's
Headquarters here in the main, and
has taken the form of bid for sec
tlonal representation rather than for
the allotment of any particular place
IN the next presidents family of coun- |
sellors.
Southerner for Honors.
Representative G. Bascom Slemp.
OF Virginia, and T. II. Huston, and !
Newell Sanders, Of Tennessee, are
among those most prominently men
toned for cabinet appointments in the
petltlons that are coming to the presi-
dentelect.
From outside the south have come
many petitions for the appointment of
John Hays Hammond, of New York,
or Herbert Hoover, of California, to
'AA~ NohiiicACt posi-. 10ere also mas
,een talk Of Charles d. Hilles, of
New York and several others.
Union Men Considered
All four men being chiefly consid-
.red~,for the labor secretaryship are
lnion men. Mr.. Davis is former
teel yorker. Mr.. Duncan has been
IN official of the Granite Cutters
'nlon and of the American Federation
# Labor. Mr.. O'Connor is a leader
i the longshoremen's union, and Mr..
solan is an iron moulder by trade.
Particular interest in the labor ap-
continent was aroused today by
isit of Mr.. O'Connor to the nresiient-
lect and an announcement later that
hey would hold another conference
ere next week. Mr.. O'Connor said
abor conditions generally had been
alked over with Mr.. Harding and pre-
icted that the next four years would
ee square deal from the White
louise for American workers.

In tie house the report was ordered
printed and referred to the highway
committee but in the senate. where the
report was accompanied by Joint
resolution, it precipitated a fight In
which the lieutenant governor left the
chair and gaining the privileges Of the
floor made a plea for the highway
commission.
The purpose of the resolution. which
was adopted, was practically to enjoin
the highway commission from carving
out any further work of the commis-
sion pending an audit of it's books by
expert accountants and until the pres
ent assembly has completed highway
legislation now pending
Hits "Biue Print Roads"
Senator J. G. F. Siegfriedt, of Car
bon county, chairman Of the senate
committee. moved adoption of the res.
olution, whereup Senator L. W Low.
OF Golden Valley county, suggested
that it be fully discussed before acting
upon it.
Senator Siegfriedt stated that the
main question was how much money is
still due contractors for work already
completed and this cannot be ascer-
tained without an audit of the books.
Senator I. O. Larson, of Teton co,n-
ty, objected to the section of the reso-
luton providing for the immediate dis
charge of all employees not actually en-
gagged IN the carrying out of contracts. !
He stated it would be time to do this !
discharglng, ii necessary, after the |
competitor of the investigation. Sema-
tor Siegfriedt replied that the object !
was to stop "blue" print road build |
ing as the commission already has
sufficient work mapped out to keep it |
busy for the next two years.
Senator Ed Booth. of Fallon county,
said the adoption of the resolution |
would not interfere with the progress I
Of work now Under construction.

'the party cannot run with water thai
has passed over the DAM.
Peoples Side Paramount
Neither can it be made tail te
anybody's candidacy, the statement
continues. Referring to the nationa.
committee meetings planned shortly, il
says:
IF the members have no higher
purpose than to give some presidential
candidate the inside track it would be
better not to get together.
''The party must take the peoples 8
side of every question" it says, and
it must purge the organization of the
representatives Of special interests so
the people will believe in the party's s
sincerity.

tains twenty-five planks on national
