beginning to speculate OH men mem
bers of the Cabinet. II they have their
way all the suggestions will provide
enough material to make n Cabinet out
Of nothing but men,
John s. Fisher, who withdrew from
the primaries in favor of Mr.. Pin

Administration prior to his becoming a

The declaration by State Representa- .
tive John NJ. Flynn. of Elk County. n
Democrat. even though he is a friend
Of Joseph r. Grundy. he will support
the Pinchot policies. has led TO the gos-
SIP among poitlclans tnat II the R"-
puhIlcan organization hghts the new
governor on the speakership, friends OF
ilnrhot may decide 10 remain away
from the usual Hepupllchn caucus OF
members, mcmnrrs OF the ionse, lhls caucus
generally settles the speakershlp.
This action could be taken if a com
hination of Pinchot supporters, Re-
publican and Democratic, would be
powerful enough to defeat the Repub
lican organization as such This talk
is regarded as premature, ms it is be-
lievcd that the friends OF the new Gov
"rnor will have no trouble ABOUT or
ganz!ng the House.
Senator Vare's appearance before the
Republican City Committee last Mon
day. when he ordered his lieutenants
to get busy on registration, had more

was desirous of showing Mr.. Pinchot
that he was not Stacker or poor
SPORT but also he wanted TO confound
those who have been circulating stories
10 the effect that he could not get ou
Of bed. The Senator's illness has
caused much concern in Organization
ranks and the average minor leader II
always willing to believe the worst.
