Cabinet Talk.

For many weeks there has been much
speculation regarding the personnel of
Mr.. HardinE's cabinet. At least half
a dozen names have been mentioned for
each portfolio, and in some instances
ono man has been mentioned for several
places The makeup of the Harding
cabinet furnishes n pleasant topic oil
conversation. but it is proving to be
rather disagreeable to the various gen
tlemen under discussion.
As each trial balloon has been sent
sleyward. criticisms from all sides have
been heard against the min in question.
Scandalrnongers have ralsed up all the
unsnyory stories of tho gentleman's S
mast. and in cases where none existed,
+bev have been manufactured on the
gp,lr Of the moment TO furnish en-
barrassmcnt.
Those mud shower baths did not
originate in the Democratic ranks. They
came from among the Republicans, es-
paciallv from tho enemies of,the various
candidates for cabinet Offices. The Dem
ocrats have nothing to do with the
organization of the Cabinet, and viii
say Httlo until the final list has h"cn
presented TO tho public. There may bt

The Republicans today control both
