Democratic federal officeholders nnd
even Democrats ndmlttcd today that It
will amount te that, despite the tech

Senater Penrose, as Republican na

and also as one of these who favored
the -nomination of Senater Harding at

The senator said that this office, in
view of the economic nnd industrial
conditions te be met with under the new

senator desires some ene In this office

It Is possible, therefore, that the

PENNA. MAN UNLIKELY TO
BE SECRETARY OF STATE
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Stnrr rerrrsindfnt Erenlnr rnbtle IAraf
rCopvrteht. 1910, bv PubUe Itetr C:)
New Verlt. Nev. C The blttcr-enda
cand'date for secretary of state is Sen Sen
aeor Knox, of Pennsylvania. He Is thfl
choice of men like Senators Brandcget,
Moses. McCormack and Berah.
Ki-Senater Hlihu Reet, who Is b
Hcved te have the better chance of beln
selected, is the choice of men like ex
President Taft. ex-Justice Hughes and
ox-Senater Sutherland, who hope te sea
-
the United States enter the present
-icague of Nations, modified especially
n respect te Article X.
The fate Of the lenene mn tnr mm
this country is concerned. In llk1v tn
be decided by the question which of thesa
two men is nppeinted.
If Reet is named it will mean that
President-elect Harding has worked out
a substantial agreement in his party
for the ndoptien of something like tha
Reet plan of a league with the court
feature emphasized and the council
minimized.
If Knox receives the state portfolio,
it will mean that Harding, In order te
held his party together, has agreed te
a new association of nations, which will
be hardly mere than an international
court of arbitration.
Propagandists Assail Reet
The drive ngaiust Reet's appointment
as secretary of state has already begun
In newspaper propaganda. Articles nra
appearing which declare that Reet does
net held views upon the league that ara
ngreenble te President-elect Harding,
nnd thnt the two statesmen differ upon
tht old question of Panama Canal tells.
It is argued from this that Mr.. Reet a
appointment is improper and
Sennter Berah's declaration y
that the election was an empbf
diet nga nst the league in any (J
tlie same purpose iu view of forcing
Harding ever toward the bitter-ender
position and of m -ing Roet'a appoint'
tnent unlikely.
The rcul figut en the lengue will
probably take place before Harding en
ters office nnd before he fills the pest
of secrelary of state. When the Senata
meets and Harding (submits his pro
posal In regard te the league, he. will
cither have worked out a plan accept
able te virtually ull his party, or ha
will have decided te stand with the ma
jority of bis patty and. trust te tb
Democratic .senators for aid inputting
his proposal through the uprVujuse.
