COOLIDGE TO
MAKECHANGES

If Coolidge Is Elected There
Will BE Changes in the
Cabinet
BY Charles =. Stewart
NEA Service Writer

Washington, May 2S. If President
Coolidge goes into office ut the
head of his own ticket next rall. it,
no secret among Republican po!it,-
clans that his present cabinet won
hold over long possibly with the
exception of Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur and Attorney General Stone,
whom he appointed himself.
Entering the White House as he
did, he wasn't in a position to ID
much changing. People expected
him to 90 ahead with the official
family he found on hand. He might
have shifted portfolio or two, but
that wouldn't have done much good.
A little later, when the scandal
epidemic had begun to rage, he had
better excuse. But at that time

It's question whether ne knew
ut the outset that he was surround.
ed by mighty unsatisfactory crowd
of official advisers. but if not, he
wasn't long in finding out.
Pepper Said L.
That speech by Senator Pepper,
rs Il result of which the Pcnnsyl-
vanian. was so much criticized for
finding fault with the president $
heritage from the Harding admins
tration, told the whole story.
OF course, the president denied
he had seen the speech in advance;
much less approved it. But none of
the insiders believed this was any
thing but a diplomatic denial. It
was just the Coolidge method of
trying to let the country know his
cabinet members had been wished
onto him in such Il way he had
found it impossible to wish them
off. so he'd made the best he could
of them-he couldn't do anything
else.
Pepper evidently undertook the
job of broadcasting' this informa-
ton, aware he'd have to appear to
be blamed, but willing to take the
blame for the sake of the good he
hoped he'd do his party by it.

the winner. But 1t also would be in
terpreted as a sign of weakness
namely that the McAdoo managers
felt unable to get two-thirds at any
time.
Dispute Over Unit Rule.
The anti-McAdoo men already are
beginning to say that majority vote
is all right, but it should be an actual
majority of the voting delegates and
not a majority when each state casts
it's vote in block under the unit
rule. The claim is made that if the
unit rule prevails, about 287 delegates
can bring a majority of delegates into
the tally, for trere are many states
where the majority of the delegation
is by onlT one vote, yet the whole
ballot Of the state can be cast for a
single candidate.
The talk of a compromise nominee
begins to gain ground among the many
delegates of whom feel the Khan issue
has made unavailable the principal
contenders on both sides. John w
Davis of West Virginia is looming
up as the most likely compromise
with Senator Glass of Virginia, Sen
ator Ralston of Indiana, James NJ
Cox of Ohio and Senator Robinson
of Arkansas still in the running.

sively demonstrated that the McAdoo
faction and pro- Klanism is one and
the same thing.
Until the McAdoo delegates are &C
tually weaned away-something his
opponents have been confidently pre-
dieting for a week-there can be no
nomination Of any one else. A dead
lock will depend entirely on the skill
of the McAdoo managers. The Smith
delegates. however, seemed to be even
more inclined to stick and surely
will not aid McAdoo.
Conceal Real strength.
The early balloting disclosed the
usual tactics of concealing reserve
strength. Large delegations like
their votes among a number of candi-
dates. Many states voted for favorite
sons, as per instructions.
The theory back of this is that d
candidate who shows his maximum
strength at the outset and then loses
Is likely to lose more on subsequent
ballots because delegates are urged
to believe he can gain no more. On
the other hand, candidate who can
show consistent gains on every bal
lot keeps himself in the running and
prevents those who are specifically in
structed from having any excuse to
desert him.
After a few ballots, however, the
favorite-son delegations begin to
swing in toward the leaders and the
tussle is on in earnest. Little excite
ment or enthusiasm attended the
early balloting. Gov. Smiths sup
porters in the galleries were in the
majority and greeted every vote in
his favor with loud applause. The
delegates themselves were calm and
settled down to the long struggle

McAdoos strength came, as ex-
pected, from the west and south-the
dry states-while Gov. Smith was
supported mostly by eastern states
with a wet inclination. There were
some votes for Smith from western
states where here and there are wet
cities.
The demonstration of McAdoo
strength was important to his mana
gers because of the persistent rumors
that he would not have what has been
claimed all along. The first ballot
showed McAdoo past 400 mark with
every indication that he would go to
a majority. Should he pass that mark
they should forget the two-third rule
