Postmaster General Albert Sydney
Burleson, one of the principal political
advisers to President Wilson, heads the

strongest supporters. . '

campaign in behalf of Governor Cox.
he flatly refused to do so, except on
condition that the presidential candi
date pledge himself to appoint such men
to office, as would- faithfully carry out
the Volstead act. Governor Cox did not
accept the condition.
ANTAGONIS.il IS BITTER
The announcement of the reorganisa
tions : plans has aroused bitter antag
onism among officials of the national
committee, who declared today they will

PAT HARBISON OPPOSES f :j r
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi,
chairman of the speakers' committee of
the Democratic national "committee, who
will start Thursday on a hunting trip
with Governor Cox, took a fling at the
reorganize rs in a statement issued " to
day. : He declared for; harmony in the
party and said be hoped no attempt
would be made to change , the present
organisation,
"I want to see every Democrat in the
country, no matter what bis views in the
past may have been, or what his course
in the recent campaign," he said,
"brought into line, and a militant organ
isation maintained to fight unitedly the
reactionary policies i the Republican
party will assuredly attempt to inau
gurate. The results of the election, while they
are discouraging to the Democracy,
should ; influence Democrats to stand
united as never before and work to
gether in a spirit of complete coopera
tion and accord. This. I am sure, is
what will be done, and in the perma
nent headquarters in Washington there
will be placed, such an efficient organ
ization that it will bring - satisfaction
to. all concerned. : j
WOULD BUBT DIFFERENCES
"Let us bury all differences and for
get 'about the' past campaign. The
Democratic party is not dead. It has
only been given a temporary setback
and will make itself felt every day of
the session of congress until the next
election day rolls - around. Governor
Cox made a gallant fight and Impressed
the country as measuring up in the
fullest decree to the Important role to
which be has been assigned." i
In a statement today, former Gov
ernor Folk of Missouri said : . i
"1 notice my namej among others,

ing respecting reorganization of the
Democratic party. I have received no
invitation to such a meeting and have

"The Democratic party does not need
reorganization. It needs merely to
stand steadfastly for 1 the principle of

"In my opinion a new deal here 'from
the beginning by abandoning Versailles
treaty is impossible. To attempt it
would bring chaos and an entire loss of
results of the war and general disaster
involving the United States. The! only
possible course is to keep the treaty,
modifying it to meet the requirements
of the senate reservations and the! Chi
cago platform and probably in 'some
other respects. j ,
"The precise way in which some
modifications can be best made must
be determined at the time of conference
with the other parties. ' i
CA3JKOT FORECAST METHODS
"It is impossible to forecast the meth
ods because conditions next March are
necessarily uncertain. Now the central
idea is that a deadlock results from
President Wilson's perverse refusal to
negotiate for the consent of other 'pow
ers to Americanization of the treaty, but
that our new administration will secure
that consent. : j
"A separate declaration of peace was
justified only by President Wilson's re
fusal to act After March 4 that! will
no longer be justifiable unless other
powers refuse to consent to modification
which I do not anticipate. Don't allow
Cox to drive you off the ground of
Harding'f senate vote and our platform.
Keep to the simple Issue of American
ization." : . j
By examining the dates of the
speeches in which Senator Harding dis
cussed the treaty and League of Nations
during the months of September and Oc
tober, It will be noticed that nothing
was said publicly by Mr. Harding which
Elihu Root, at any rate, interpreted as
a contradiction of the advice given.) Mr.
Root continued to support Harding1 and
made a speech at Carnegie hall, .New
Tork, in October- reiterating bis I own
view on Article X, urging the election of
Harding.
BOOT tS DISFATOB
In Marion, however, during the past
week, the writer learned that Elihu
Root was mt held in the same high
favor on questions' of foreign policy as
he appeared to be in Washington l and
New York and othre parts of the coun
try where it had been confidently? be
lieved that Mr. Root would be the back
bone of the Harding tadministration on
foreign policy. .Indeed, it will be noted
that in most all the dispatches sent out
frOnr Marlon giving gossip about the
future cabinet, Mr. Root was not named
for secretary of state. It is also! de
clared that when the Root cablegram
came from Europe, Senator Harding
showed . his displeasure. Whether he
communicated his criticism to Mr. Root
is not known to the writer, but from
the fact that the former secretary of
state at a later , date, made a public
speech urging the election of Harding on
the league issue, the inference may be
drawn that Mr. Root was not I ac
quainted with any such disapproval. In
deed, the only evidence presented pub
licly that Senator Harding is disposed
to disagree with Mf. Bpot came after
the election and during the past week
when in an address to the crowds who
came to cheer bim at Marion Senator
Harding spoke of the election verdict
and then referred to the treaty of Ver
sailles as "deceased." Mr. Root had
I cabled that it was "very unwise' td de-
FRIENDS OF TBEATT HOPE
Friends of the treaty, however, have
not lost hope and the few who know
about Mr. Root's cablegram believe
that Senator Harding must inevitably
accept the Root views. As for the ex
planation made in March, 1919, In the
letter -aent by Mr. Root to Will Hays,
the reference to The 2 Hague court in
that communication is as follows: i
"There was a weakness in the system
devised by T Hague conference! It
was that arbitration of justicable ques
tions was not made obligatory, so that
no nation could bring another before
the court unless the defendant was (will
ing to come, and there was no way to
enforce a judgment.
After declaring that in. his judgment
strictly "justicable or judicial ques
tions" should be obligatory. Mr. Root
rewrote that the united States ought to
be willing, so rar as such questions Were
concerned, to stand "precisely on the
same footing as other nations-, but that
"with regard to questions of policy,
some difficult considerations are; ap
parent.'
He agreed, however, "the great and
essential thing about the plan contained
in the covenant of . the League of Na
tions is that it makes International con'
ferences or the political questions com
pulsory in time of danger, that it brings
together such conferences upon the call
of officers who represent all the pow
ers and makes it practically impossible
for any nation to keep out of them."
POINTS TO DEFECTS .

Shortly after the Paris -dispatch was
available in the special train, the sena
tor made a brief speech at Marshall,
Texas in which he declared:
"Our moral obligation will always
stand' out and America does not need
any meeting of foreign powers to tell
us wbat our moral obligations are.
AMERICA FIRST
"We want to meet with them, cou
set with them, know their thoughts and

in the freedom of America I wouldn't
want our country aloof from the other
peoples of the earth, but I want America
strong, fortunate and wholly free to
play her part in dealing with the rest
of the world."
While there was no official statement,
it was understood on the special train
that the: president-elect will seek an
American-made leaguetaklng some fea
tures from the present league, as a
basis for a world fraternity and that he
will follow out the suggestion made in
his speech of August 23 advocating "an
international association for conference
and a world court."
MEXICAN IDEA SCOUTED
Reports that Senator Harding might
meet Mexican leaders on the border have
been scouted by official . announcement
that no such meeting is contemplated.
Senator Harding today was planning
to divide his pleasures between golf and
tarpon fishing, with half a day de
voted to each sport.
Although there is excellent hunting at
Point Isabel the president-elect does not
plan fori any. huntirr himself, as he is
not a lover of this sport. Despite the
fact that he has been as busy, during
his trip as he was during many cam
paign tours, both the senator and Mrs.
Harding were elated today- over their
trip and; their opportunity to meet the
people and neither of them passed up
the chance to meet anyone. '
At one stop Senator Harding held a
group or mends waiting while be
pushed his way through a throng to buy
a pencil from a cripple and to talk to
him. ";r
GREETING IS GENERAL
Everyone from the milkman's baby up
to the leading banker has had the bene
fit of the Harding smile and the Hard
ing handshake.
Southern Democrats and staunch Re
publicans have all heard from the next
president 'that we are through with
partisan politics and the next four years
will be for America alone. The senator
has his jokes with the crowds and his
party has been greatly amused at the
insistance of the throngs in mistaking
Dr. A. C Sawyer for Senator Lodge.
The Harding special is due to arrive
in Brownsville at 11 :50. Senator Hard

an invitation to the Houston fair.

ternatlohal conference, but pointed out
some of its serious defects. . The Im
portant thing, however, Is that Mr. Root
cabled Senator . Harding from London
after a personal observation of Euro
pean affairs that the structure of the
present treaty and the league were
worth preserving and was by no means
dead. Some people will profess to
a clear break between Senator Harding
and Mr. Root. Others . are confi
dent that Senator Harding, will do the
right thing when he calls a conference
of the statesmen of America and that
the value of Mr. Root's Judgment will
then, be fully tested. The Root cable
gram which, it is only fair to say he
did not give out for publication, is the
deliberate judgment of a man who was
secretary of state under President Roose
velt and the American representative at
the second Hague conference.
In Marion, however, ther is a dispo
sition to look upon Mr. Root as having
advanced to such an old age as to be out
of tune with the spirit of the last elec
tion result and as having such affilia
tions with the international banking
groups as to make his advice of doubt-
iui value. . . - - . . - f.
Those are the two views and when
President-Elect Harding returns to his
home It will become apparent exactly
how much Elihu Root's advice will be
i taken on matters of foreign policy.

iCHSPECULATION
! : : ; .;U:-D- r
j By Hudson Hawleyv
(United News Btaff Correspondent)' .
f Washington, Nov. 8. The ques
tion "as to what manner of men War
ren G. Harding, president-elect, will
send as ambassadors to the various
capitals of the world to replace the
incumbents appointed by President
Wilson is a live and interesting one,
fraught with a sorts of consequence
both, of a I poriiical and diplomatic
nature. ' ' : "" . . V':r'. " !:
In fact, in view of the present delicate
situation In regard to this country's
foreign affairs, it may well be said that
never In American history was the need
for care and discrimination in the pick
ing of our overseas representatives more
urgent than now. '.- ' j .
In the old days before 1914 it was
fairly easy to forecast "the .men who
would likely be offered the diplomatic
plums at the incoming president's dis
posal The simplest method to make up
the ambassador slate was to check off
the heaviest contributors to the party's
campaign funds, after those of cabinet
size and aspirations had been deducted.
But this year, with the Republican cam
paign contributions limited to $1000,
naturally that method fails to work and
one is forced to look elsewhere m prog
nosticating about the appointees.
POLICT'S SUCCESS JN BALANCE j
The outsandingly important ambas
sadorial posts to be filled with the In
coming of the Republicans are those in
England, . France, Japan, . Mexico, Ger
many when the peace status is re-es-tabliBhed,
and Russia, should Harding
eventually decide on a policy, of recogni
tlon of the .soviet regime if. Indeed, that
regime is in power by next March. Upon
the calibre of the men whom Haraing
picks for these berths will depend In
great measure the success or failure of
the foreign policy he will be called upon
to initiate; and it is safe to predict that
he Will "nut none but Republicans on
guard" men whose minds can be de
pended upon to run along witn nis own.
For the oost in London mere are.many
nosslbllities. If recent rumors of a rift
between former Secretary of State Elihu
Root and the president-elect prove to be
unfounded. there would be a strong
likelihood of that 70-year-old states
man's rounding out his public career at
the court of St. James. No appointment
Could be more acceptable to British of-1
ficialdom and the British public gen
erally, it is said, and the post would
offer Root congenial occupauon xor
which he is exceptionally trained. In
fact, it would surprise few people if he
were named to follow in the steps of that
Other great New Tork lawyer and great
ambassador, the late Joseph H. Choate.
M UNSET MAT GET POST i
' But Root may. after all. be secretary
of state again; and Root may decline
the London appointment on the ground
of his health and his years. In that
ease, - well i informed observers within
the Republican fold predict that the
honor of dining with George and Mary
will fall to no other , than Frank; A.
Munsey, noted newspaper proprietor and
publisher of New York, Baltimore and
one time of Washington.
: It Is an open secret that during the
191 campaign Munsey had ,his eyes
fixed on the London embassy, and it is
equally well known that Judge Hughes,
the Republican candidate that year, was
grateful for .Munsey's support and re
ceptively inclined toward his wishes.
But things happened in California and
elsewhere on election day and Munsey
remained at home, later to buy a couple
of more newspapers in New Tork and
another one in Paris. Munsey's prop
erties have been ardent Harding sup
porters all during the campaign ; he has
been In' freauent consultation with Na
tional Chairman Will Hays and Is said
to have put off a trip to Europe this
fall at Hays' urgent request, in order
that he might be near the bridge of
the Republican ship If trouble came.
HERBICK TO GO TO FRANCE v-i
For the job in Paris, the choice la as
good as made, according to those close
to Harding. It will be Myron T. Her
rlck of Cleveland, ambassador to France
under Taft's regime and one of the
president-elect's closest Conferees dur
ing the campaign. Herrick is thought
by many to have been the "unofficial
spokesman" who told Harding or
France's desires for a change in
the
League 1 of ; Nations covenant when he
went directly to Marion following him
return from a European visit. No am
bassador of any nation in recent years
has been more popular in France than
Herrick. and his return; would be hailed
with Joy by all glasses. Herrick won
the heart of France in those trying days
of August and September, 1914, when in
the face of a threatened siege, he stuck
to his work in .Paris, the Stars and
Stripes floating over his embassy's door.
although the French government moved
itself, bag and baggage, way down to
Bordeaux. : .
The delicate nature of the negotiations
now-under way between this country
and Japan over the general subject of
Japanese immigration make the Tokio
post one fraught with danger for an in
discreet man, and at . the . same time
make the call to it a real summons to
national service. Off-hand prognostica
tion calls to mind Frank A. Vanderlip,
the New Tork banker and a great friend
of the mikado's people, who recently
made an extended visit to the "flowery
kingdom." t The Job really calls for an
International lawyer of Elihu Roofs
calibre and standing; and perhaps Root,
if the plea of national: lead were made
to him, might be inclined to take it.
MEXICAN JOB THOKNT
The lob at Mexico City is, of course,
one of the thorniest in the whole diplo
matic service, and much will hinge on
Harding's selection of an occupant.
Henry P. Fletcher, our former ambas
sador there, though formerly considered
Democrat, was outspokenly for Hard
ing In the late campaign and would, be
cause of his prior, knowledge of condi
tions there, be a logical choice. But
again, as in the case of Japan, Harding
would be I amply justified in sending
south of the Rio Grande the biggest gun
in his arsenal. I
The thought of being the first am
bassador to Germany following' the war
is enough to cause chills to creep up and
down the spine of any man -anxious to
represent his country abroad. One for
mer ambassador. Dr. David Jayne Hill,
is available and would, be a safe bet
were it not . for the recent intimation
that he is being groomed for secretary
of state. Charlemagne Tower of Phila
delphia, another former ambassador, is
also available, but there are those In
the Harding entourage who would sug
gest rather that a "new deal" be made
in regard to Berlin. 'There is mention
of Otto H. Kahn, born a Prussian and
naturalised an American,, and ardently
pro-ally even before our entry In the
war. " - : : W:.
Russia, of course, is the, prise enigma
of the lot, but it can be said and now
that should recognition go through, the
logical man to represent the country at
Petrograd or Moscow would be Raymond
Robins, former Progressive, who . has
been recently touted as a possible cahi
net member. Robins, as a colonel In the
Red Cross, was thatVrganlxation's com
missioner in Russia during the war and
in that connection performed any num
ber of really ambassadorial duties. - He
knows Lenin and Trotsky personally.
and is enough of a progressive to be a
most acceptable choice to whatever lib
eral elements in Russia finally prevail.
It is said that Hoover can have either
a cabinet position or any ambassador
ship he wants. The Johnson wing of
the party would, to be sure, like to make
him envoy to Japan or China or Tim
buctoo and keep him there r-and It is
certain that if he did accept a post
abroad he would relieve Harding of a
great deal of possible embarrassment
that might be occasioned should his
naming for the cabinet be fought In the
senate.- But last reports from Hoover
are that he! is thinking of no office at
all and will insist on being allowed to
bulla up ms own personal loriune.
