Premier Macdonald's frank letter of

If France and England can but

Rugg Slated
to Succeed
Daugherty
Chief Justice of Massa.
chusetts Court Said to Be Fa-
vored by Coolidge-Others
Urge Western Man.
Harlan Stone Is Named

washington. March 30.-Arthur l..
Rugg. chief justice Of the Massachus-
etts supreme court, stood out today
as the most probable successor to At
torney General Harry M. Daugherty.
While the decision has not been def
initely reached, it is understood tnat
he is uppermost In the presidents
mind. There are some political consid-
erations to be taken into account, but
the president is weighing them care
fully and at this time feels the Sc
lection of Judge Rugg to be wise
cnes
Urge Western Man.
Such criticism as there is would
come from naming a cabinet officer
from Massachusetts, already numer.
ously represented in high official lie
here. His advisers point out that
there is nothing to gain politically as
he already has his native state in the
hollow of his hand. They have told
the president to go to the middle west
or to some state where the outcome
OF the campaign Is in the balance.
But the president does not attach
this type of political Importance to
the selection He believes that the
first and most important considera-
ton is to get man OF outstanding
ability and integrity-one In whom
the public will have implicit trust. He
believes Judge Rugg is this kind OF
a man.
10 y,t
his personal friend and frequent adj
wiser. The cabinet he now is work
ing with was selected by his prede.
cessor.
Others Considered.
His only appointment so far, Cur.
lis d. Wilbur, Of California, as secre-
taly of the navy. was a man un'
known to him personally. He occu'
pes the unique position Of being the
orly president to serve with cabinet
containing no warm personal friend
On whom he may lean for advice and
guidance of the more intimate sort
He, of course. imposes the greatest
trust and confidence in his official
family. but it is more official than
otherwise. .
There is, however, strong pressure
from New York to name Harlan F.
Stone, former head Of the Columbia
law school.
In addition to the two now said
to be most important in the presi-
dents mind. suggestions have been
made that he appoint former Cover.
nor Miller Of New York or Judge
Crane of Brooklyn.
