Admittedly, the selection of an Alter
ney General was the most difficult task
that faced Mr. Hoover in his role OF
cabinet maker. Prohibition had played
a predominant part in his election, and
he had a natural desire to select as
the chief enforcing officer of the dry
laws an able lawyer and one in whom
friends of prohibition had confidence.
AS the story goes. Mr.. Hoover was
concerning himself with this selection
when Chief Justice Taft, friend OF
long standing, dropped in at the Hoover
house on street The Chief Justice
added his own word on behalf of Slim
son. who was the Secretary of War when
Taft was President and who had been

Evans Hughes.
A Man Right at Hand.
The President ELECT is said to have
remarked his difficulty was not in find
ing a Secretary of State but in getting
an Attorney General. Whereupon the
Chief Justice is reputed to have replied
this was simple: that the very man for
the place then was in the Department
general.
Mitchell, who called himself Demo-
crat. but who had supported Harding,
Coolidge and Hoover, virtually was I'M
known to Mr.. Hoover. But the next day,
the PreSident-elect set in motion the
machinery which would bring to him all
the needed facts about the young lawyer
from the Northwest.
AS result OF what he found. Mr.
Hoover offered the appointment to the

that 1t might be an unwise politica
