Her husband exacted a premise from her. Sirs. MacSwiney said, thut she would net insist he tnke feed. The prison officials, however, said they would net employ forced feeding until the prisoner became unconscious, when they would give him feed. Mrs. MacSwiney declared.

Card I te ube II ,l Gibbens l'rs-e All Catlielk. ths MANUAL, Of niATBIia?--X Adv. It Is net believed Mr. Hughes has been definitely selected. The President-elect hns probably net yet made up his mind. And the suggestion of Mr. Hughes' name villi be likely te awaken nlmest eh much opposition- In certain elements of the party ns has the suggestion of Mr. Reet's. The ex -justice has been Identified In the past with the reservntlenlst wing of the Republican party, having views en the treatv and the league similar te these of Mr. Reet. Moreover. Mr. Hughes lias net been popular in the past with the politicians. Except for the feeling in the party against hltn, lie would have been nominated at Chi cago last summer. Senators Unfriendly te Hughes And the Senate group, which had se ntiich te de with finally suggesting Mr. Harding's nomination, will net re gard Mr. Hughes with mere favor for secretary of state than they did last summer for the presidency. Tills is the first definite hint that has come out yet with regard te the secre taryship of state. It traces pretty di rectly te Mr. Harding's own lips, nnd comes from several sources. Equally the elimination of Elihu Reet may be asserted en the basis of what Mr. Harding said te some of his callers in Washington. He told nt least two of the "bitter-end" group of senators here that he would net name Mr. Reet as his chief of cabinet. Mr. Harding Is net reported te have given any reason why he would nor. nnme Mr. Reet, in spite of the large public support Mr. Reet has for the pest of secretary of state, but the reasons are perfectly plain. Frem the day after election opposition in the Rpublican party te Mr. Reet's appointment ha been strong. There nre few Mr. Harding could cheese who would nreue quite the an tagonism that Mr. Reet has aroused. It has come from surprising sources. It has involved men who were formerly friends and admirers of the ex-secretary of state, Streng Drive Against Reet Net only have the "bitter-enders" made n drive against Mr. Reet, but many Republican lenders net identified with that faction of the pnrty have lent te that driw at least their moral support. In the Senate the opposition te Mr. Reet has broken out in unexpect ed places. Mr. Reet has been reported te Mr. Harding ns saying things which Mr. Reet's friends nert lie uever said. , The utmost was made of Mr. Reet's going ubreud te work upeu an interna tional organization, mere or less under the auspices of the Lengue of Natieus, while Mr. Harding wns making a cam paign in which lie sought te avoid com mitting himelf te the preservation of the league even in an amended form. Fermer Progressive- in the pnrty hne net fergien Reet for the part he played as chairman of the national con vention in 1012. when lie prevented the nomination of Roosevelt. Scnnters who wish te sec a mini of less stnture than Mr Reet at the bead of the Harding cabinet linve sympathized with the ef fort te make him impossible. Net Likely te Appoint Reet The unti-Roet propaganda has been nctiie It knew Mr Harding te be somewhat disinclined te Mr. Reet be cause of certain misunderstandings that grew out of the latter's mission te Eu rope last summer, nnd it worked dpen that disinclination. It bus been suc cessful. There U Mr. Herding s word for it, us things stand today, and. unless the conference between Mr. Reet and Mr. Harding at Marien hrings about a change, Mr. Reet will net be oppelnted. Rut the elimination of Mr. Reet innkes it necessary that Mr. Harding should find n'nutn ns nearly as possible of Mr. Reet's jtnture for secretary of state. He nnd his friends realize -that Republican criticism of President Wil Wil eon's cabinet hns aroused public ex pectations te start right His friends ndniit prlwitely the President -elect must appoint a cabinet which will appeal te the country as nn effective contrast with Wilsen's cabinet. There must be nt least one big man in Harding's cabinet, as well as a number of goed-sLcd men. And t lie place for the big liian is secretary of state. E-iIustlre Hughes Ranks High It is understood te be factors such as these that have led te the present consideration of ex -Justice Hughes, Mr. Hughes ranks up alongside of Mr. Reet lis one of the party's ablest men. H mnile u brlllinnt reputation ns governor of New Yerk state He was n dis tinguished member of the Supreme Court There is no lawyer In the country with n higher standing than Mr. Hughes. He is better known te the people of the ceuntr than any ethur possible eandldiite for first place in the Ilard'g cabinet, with the exception of! Mr Reet, though he has net Mr Roet'i or Senater Knox's experience in inter untieunl alfnirs. Mr Harding's visit te Washington iilse brought te the front the tmine of Newell Sanders, of Tennessee, for place lu the cabinet It is known te be the President elect's dcslre te recognize in some way the tendency of the Seuth toward Itepubiii-auism.
