fee to make the voters themselves the
anal judges Of any legislation affecting
every citizen and make State and ma
tionaI legislators truly responsible to
their constituents.
LOWDEN HINTED
FOR POSITION.
The future address Of former Governor
Frank @. LoUden cf Illinois may be de-
tcrmined b. the conference he held with
Senator Harding today. Senator Hard
ing. 1t IS known on the highest author
ity. is extremely anxious TO induce his
chief opponent for the Republican nom
nation to enter the Federal service The
post which VIII be offered the former
Governor hiss not been indicated but the
chief executive las indicated that Mr.
Lowden may be asked to represent the
United States at the Court Of St james
VIII H Hays, chairman Of the Re-
publican committee and regarded by
many as the most available man to re-
organize the Postoffice Department, had
his final conference with the next
President today before Senator Hard
lng's departure for the South.
WALTER DICKEY
ALSO CALLER.
Walter S Dickey OF Kansas City also
discussed party affairs from an author-
tative standpoint. lie has frequently
been recommended as available material
for assistant 10 one of the chief Cabinet
officers.
The Russian situation, especially as it
bears on resumption OF trade relations.
was discussed by Isaac Don Levine OF
Chicago, recently returned from Russia.
Irving II. kriswOld of Plattsburgh. n.
Y, was called IN TO outline his views on
/, voluntary military training.
>Few Of Senator Harding's visitors
leave Marion with an accurate knowledge
OF what effect their representations have
had on the Presideat-elect "iolating all
the precepts Of the eficieLy engineers,
Senator Harding receives them in his
small Office himself, sitting in the full
glare of the window. Attentively he lis
tens, courte0usly he thanks them for
their views. tactfully he dismisses them.
MADE By VISITOR.
They strive earnestly to read from his
expression what effect they have left
with him, but, from their own accounts,
they can not tell whether they have i'm
pressed him favorab,y or unfavOTably.
Most OF these conferences are in full view
OF the newspaper men who chose TO pass,
and they also are unable to read the rid
die OF Senator Harding's expression.
That is why the complete makeup OF
the next Cabinet still is in doubt and
probably viii remain in doubt until
final and authoritative announcement
comes from the President-elect.
