Washington, Feb. 10. Rumors that
Secretary Fall, of the Interior, is about
te retire frajn the Cabinet, are denied.
They have been In circulation for some
time. "Friends of the secretary, how
ever, say that he will retire in' the
spring.
Mr. Fall Is unhappy. He has net
put through his Mexican policy and be
told his frlcnds-en accepting office under
Harding that if he did net succeed in
doing se he would net stay in the Cab
inet. He has net been a conspicuous
member of the Cabinet and this hat
been disappointing.
The prospect seems te be that if Mr.
Fall can arrange te get back into the
Senate from New Mexico in his old
place, he will de se. It Senater New
should be beaten by Beveridge in the
Indiana primaries, New is likely te go
into the Cabinet, perhaps te succeed
Fall. All this does net point te any
immediate retirement of Mr. Fall.
What is happening in Mr. Harding's
Cabinet is what happens in every cab
inet. Every member starts out with
high hopes. The spotlight will beat
upon him fiercely for four years. Take
the case et Mr. Fall. Mr. Harding had
called, him "Albert" for years. He had
called Mr. Harding "Warren."
Mr. Harding had once described him
as the best mind in the Senate. When
Mr. Harding sought high Intellectual
converse, before he, wga elected, he
sought it in company with Mr. Fall,
just as when he wished te descend from
the "heights and play around, he did
se In company with Mr. Frelinghuysen
and Mr. Elkins. AH this would surely

by President Harding today with a re
quest that they be ratified as guarantees
of peace. g
Appearing in person before the Sen

President. The first was the five-Power

submurme and poison gas treaty, the
third the four-Power Pacific treaty,
the fourth nnd fifth were supplemental
trenties te the four-Power pa't and the
ethers rclntcd respectively te the gen

These engagements, the President

"The four-Power treaty contains no

State Committee's Duty te Con
duct Campaign, Net Select
. Candidates, Says Riter
SWINGS FEDERAL PLACES
TO ASSIST HIS CHOICE
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
Frank M. Riter, chairman et the
Voters' League, who hurled a harpoon
Inte Republican organization ranks en
Tuesday when he proposed that an un
biased committee of competent physi
cians examine into the condition of
Senater Crew and report upon his
availability for further service, fellows
It up with a statement of startling fact
delivered from another angle.
Mr. Rttcr let it be distinctly known
that he was conducting a campaign for
Republicans within the Republican
Party, wne demand the selection of
representative, clean-handed cnjndldntes
for office, and therefore he cannot de
otherwlse than attack existing condi cendi condi
teons: "The Republican Party 5s due for a
house-cleaning," said Mr. Riter, "and
it is time that organization leaders,
and se-called leaders, appreciate the
fact.
"The Senater Crew incidentals only
one phase of the situation.
"The men whose names have been
suggested for the office of Governer,
with one exception, nre being made the
victims of one of the mesti remarkable
pieces of political impropriety that has
been seen in Pcnnsylvnnla for years,
continued Chairman Riter.
Is Beldleman's Spenser
"I refer te the political activity of
W. Harry Baker, secretary of the Re
publican State Committee, nnd by al
leged unanimous consent of the leaders,
one of the dispensers of Federal patron
age for the entire State.
"Mr. Baker and Lieutenant Governer
Bel.'llcman are the Republican leaders
of Dauphin County. In past years as
secretary of the State Committee,
Baker hns gained the widest ac
quaintance with county leaders.
"New, what de we sec? Secretary
Baker of the State Committee, the
spouser for and political manager of
Lieutenant Governer Beidlemen, his
fellow lender of Dauphin County, who is
a candidate for Governer!
"The secretary of the Republican
State Committee hns repeatedly been
quoted as saying what the Lieutenant
Governer -would de and say at the
proper time; and boldly asserting his
position as political manager et Air.
Beldlemnn.
"It is a recognized fact among pol
iticians everywhere that Mr. Baker is
the power behind the Beidleman candi
dacy nnd thnt he proposes te force him
upon the party as its candidate if it can
be done by any menns In his power.
"The Republican State Committee,
of which Secretary Baker Is the nctlng
head in the nbsence of Senater Crew,
was net ergnnized te select candidates
for the Republican voters of the State'
continued Chairman Riter.
"Its functions nre te conduct the
campaign, mnnngc the details nnd in
general operate the party machinery
once the candidate or candidates nre
nominated, se as te secure their elec
tion. "Secretary Baker i exceeding In
every way the legitimate functions of
his ofhYe when he uses his position nnd
prestige in un attempt te compel the
nomination of his candldnte, Mr,
Beidleman. As enp of the present dis
pensers of Federal pntrenage, he is
taking an unfair advantage of every
prospective candidate for Governer,
except his personal choice, Mr. Beidle
man. Case Called Unique
"I de net recall any similar case
in my experience in Pennsylvania
politics, wlicie an official of the State
Committee presumed te force a candi
date upon the voters of the party.
"It Is. however, only another in
stance of the general demoralization
thnt prevails in organization polities.
