President-elect he has to relinquiSh his
post sooner or later, but If he gives it up
before January /, the present Repub-

recommended by Mr.. Curtis. If he
waits till after January to resign, the
next governor, also a Republican, but
said to be unfriendly to Senator Curtis.
will make the appointment. 1t would
run until the 1880 elections.
Would Keep Out Radical
Senator Curtis naturally has a pro-
found interest in his own State and
In the kind of man who will add one
vote to the Republican side. He does
not want to see radical Republican
IN his place or any one who would be
out of sympathy with the administra-
ton on things of importance.
President Coolidge has confidence in
Senator Curtis and feels that his pres
tige at the short session will be even
greater than it has been in the past
The possible choice of Senator Jones
Of Washington as majority leader is
being talked of and he, too, would be
satisfactory to Mr.. Coolidge, but the
opportunities of getting legislation
through at the short session are better.
1t is felt, under the same leader who has
managed administration affairs in the
past than to embark under new lead
ership for such short interval

Coolidge is represented as feeling that
a flying start can be obtained if Sena
tor Curtis remains as leader.
Positions ReconciIabIe.
The positions of Vice President-elect
and majority leader are not difficult
TO hold at the same time. The Vice
President when inaugurated will have
vote in the Senate in case of tie,
and there is no embarrassment in his
voting with his own party. The chief
duty of the Vice President is to pre-
side over the Senate and appoint COM
naittees with impartiality and accord
ing to precedent. The fact that Mr.
Curtis remains as majority leader a
few months longer would of course,
not interfere with his judicial interpre-
tation of the rules when he does take
Office.
As maiority leader. Mr.. Curtis would
have charge of the Inauguration cera-
monies, but being himself a participant
he plans to appoint special committee
with the consent of the Senate to take
care of the whole procedure. The
chances are that Mr.. Curtis will con-
tinue to serve in the Senate till March
4. and that on that day he will go from
his desk in the rear of the Senate to
the rostrum to succeed Vice President
