The Appointment
Breaks the Line

LII COMP U4AO AA4AO
John Marshall, Henry
Clay, Edward Livingston
Daniel Webster, John M.
Clayton, Edward Everett,
William L. Marcy, Lewis
Cass, William H. Seward,
William Maxwell Evarts,
James G.. Blaine, Thomas F.
Bayard, Elihu Root, William
Jennings Bryan, Charles E.
Hughes.
Among these, it will be
noted, are many whose very
brilliancy and superiority in
vited the enmities and jeal-
ousies that constantly block
ed their ambition for the
presidency.
The appointment of Cor
dell Hull breaks the line of
New Workers. which began
with Lansing, II years ago,
and has continued unbroken
until now. He was succeeded
by Bainbridge Colby, of New
York; and he by Hughes, Of
New York; and he by Stim-
son, of New York. There is
no reason why New York
should have a monopoly in
the management of our for
eign relations. Every State
in the Union is affected by
our foreign trade, and none
more than the South.
Without there being any
real reason for the idea, the
Secretary of State, being the
head of the Cabinet, is fre-
quently referred to as th@
"Premier of the Administra"
ton" AS a matter of fact,
few premiers in Europe act
as ministers of foreign af-
fairs and the real premier Of
any administration is the
President. But the idea has
persisted here, and the man
in the street has come to ex-
pect that an outstanding
party leader shall hold the
post. For years it was as
sumed that the position
would be offered the most
popular leader of the party,
the theory being that,
thereby, the administration
would be strengthened. This
explains Van Buren, Clay,
Webster, Blaine and Bryan.
Occasionally the appoint
ment to the post of such a
leader has been an en-
barrassment to the Presi-
dent.
Thus Polk had occasion to
regret the appointment of
James Buchanan, who was a
willy and contriving politi-
clan. The President found,
quite early, that when the
opinion of the Cabinet was
taken and Buchanan found
in the reaction that it was
unpopular, he invariably ere
membered" that he had op-
posed it. It was to protect
himself against his Secretary
of State that Polk kept the
diary which is a store house
of historic information.
In 1888, Harrison ap-
pointed Blaine, only to find,
quite late, that the latter was
using his position to secure
the presidential nomination
