of War, may be offered appointment
to a diplomatic post abroad.
The West will be given recognition in
the appointment of both the Secretary
of the Interior and the Secretary OF
Agriculture, 1t is predicted. Roy o.
West, the present Secretary of the In
terror, night be continued in Office. He
halls from Chicago and formerly was
secretary of the Republican national
committee.
But here again the question arises as
to whether Mr.. Hoover will make clean
sweep of the cabinet and start anew
Secretary Jardine of the Department OF
Agriculture has been an ardent Hoover
man, and declared for him early in the
preconvention campaign. Mr.. Jardine
has stood consistently for the policies OF
the Coolidge administration in regard
to the farm problem, and, indeed, for
the policies of Mr.. Hoover in this re-
gard.
There is a growing opinion, however,
that Mr.. Jardine will step out, perhaps
before the close of the present admin
istration, to take an important busi-
ness position. James w. Good of Iowa,
who was the Western manager of the
Hoover campaign, former member OF
the House, might we'll be the selection
of the next President for the agricul-
tural post in his cabinet.
Knows Farm Problem.
Mr.. Good knows the farmers problem
and is a capable administrator. Sug-
| gestion is made also of Senator Nc
Nary of Oregon, one of the authors OF
the McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill, as
possible appointee to the office OF
Secretary of Agriculture. Senator Nc
Nary is chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on agriculture and has al
| ready declared he would introduce a
bill to carry out the farm policy an
nounced by Mr.. Hoover during the
campaign.
In the Department of Labor James j
Davis of Pennsylvania has made an
effective record. His retention Is pos
sible, too. The name of William Green
| president of the American Federation OF
Labor and a Republican, ls mentioned
as a possible Labor Secretary in some
quarters.
Whether Postmaster General Harry
New desires to remain in the cabinet Is
likely to have much to do with the
selection of a Postmaster General. Mr.
/ New has made a capable head OF the
Post ONCE Department. He has been
friendly to Mr. Hoover ana was one OF
the members of the cabinet who early
announced his support Of MIR. Hoover's
candidacy for the presidential nomina-
ton.
Commerce Department.
Mr.. Hoover is expected to give especial
attention to the selection of the head
| Of the Department of Commerce. He
gave many years to building up that
department himself. He naturally
wishes his own policies in that depart
ment to be carried forward. Secretary
Whiting, appointed by President Cool
idge to fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of Mr.. Hoover, is regarded
as a purely personal appointee OF
President Coolidge and is not expected
to continue in Office after Mr.. Coolidge
retires. julius Klein, director OF the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, is considered possible appointee
as head of the department.
DR.. Hubert Work, former Secretary
of the Interior, who resigned that office
to become chairman of the Republican
national committee and to manage thu
Hoover campaign for President nigh
be restored to the cabinet. But DR.
Work, it is believed, would rather retair
his Job as chairman OF the nationa
committee The committee will main
tain a considerable headquarters herr
in Washington, having l@sed its of1lce
for the next four years. g. $50. .-.i.,.
