WASHINGTON SPECIAL
The Sad Events, Incidental To The
Death of President Harding, Have
Passed Some What Away, And
Business Has Been Resumed.
(Bv w. D. Gall)

One of the first things, President
Coolidge did was the selection of his
Secretary, in the person of G. Bascom
Slemp of Virginia, and his broad
judgement, as it may be construed in
many ways, indicate that can expect
administration that will cast credit to
the party of which the President is a
member, and to the whole American
people, as the office of Secretary to
the President is one of vast import
ance and none other could have been
selected that is better qualified to
fill this important position than Ex-
Congressman Slemp.
The people of Virginia, both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are well pleas
ed, that the President has conferred
that honor on one of the citizens of
the Old Commonwealth.
Some criticism comes from the
Democratic National Committee, but
that is to be expected, as the select
ion, it matters not who it was, must
necessarily meet with disapproval
from that source.
Mr.. Slemp is an ex-member of Con-
gress having retired at the last elect
ion of his own volition, and with his
