G. Harding? Sporting Editor, 'bally Star, Marion, O. Dear W. G. s l am wruemg 'sej you tjjja open jet. ter to appiy ior a position in your cabinet witch I understand you are going to name the members early in Feb. and this (fft k -Jpvf Plenty of time to mlif look up about me between now and then and i am,suro you won't, find nobody that they won't give me a boost unlest its cer tain partys that does it on acct. of jellousy or personal animals. Now Sen., I understand they'a 10 positions to be filled and all I want Is one, so don't come back with no song and dance about not haveing no opening at this time, and please call around later. Also it don't make not available during last hours of the now be supplied: buy early this week In with a frieud of mine.' much differents to the writer witch secy, you put me in as I know as much about one as another, though if I was to succeed Secy. Baker I would want a clause in my contract so as I would.be excused from pre tending like I thought the Army had the best football team.. Of course I would kind of prefer secy, of state on acct. of that being 1st. in line for promotion and if they should be anything happen to you and Brother Coolidge -but we won't talk about that Sen. Now I have looked up in a book about secy, of state and what does he half to do and etc. and have also read up about the different men' that has held the position lately and what ailed them and ec. and I can promise you won't have no fault to find with me along those grounds. For iijst. one of them wanted more jack and sard he couldn't live on what the job paid and quit to go on the lecture platform where they ma aim Victrola give him something like $500 a night and drinking water. Well Sen., I give you ray word to not quit and go on no lecture plat form for no $500 a night arid as far as salery is concerned, why ome men takes care of their money and makes both ends meet the other, wile other men Is born cut-ups and runs wild and likes the grape and etc., but believe me. Sen., I am not the kind that hangs around chau tauquas trying to make a date with somebody! And listen Sen., I hope you ain't superstitious about names and Ini tials and etc. and-just because I am R. L., the same like Mr. Lansing, why that'ls no sign mylnlnd won't run along with yours even" if I half to stop every little wile till you' catch up. ; Now W. G., the book says that the main dutys of this position is keeper of the great seal "and seeing that the new laws and statues gets published and also the president's messages and proclamations,- and presenting foreign ministers to the president and etc. Well Sen., we' haven't never kept a seal but I. understand they aren't no bother at all and will take pretty good care, of ' themselfs i,f you .furnish them with plenty of water and cracked ice and their fa vorite food, witch is squid. As ypu have lived in Washington a long wile or the . Mrs. can probably tell me where a person can buy the best cuts of squid. In regards to introduceing you to foreign ministers I have had plenty of experience introduceing . people and if they was a new minister come to town that you would like to meet I would fix it either at the church or your house" or anywheres you name and just say: "Mr. Harding, shake hands with a pal of mine. Rev. So and so. . You ought to be great friends." So as the both of you would1 feel at home. ' Now in regards to seeing that the laws and your messages and etc. gets published. Well Sen. the people 1 work for is the Bell Syndicate of New York City and the stuff they send out is printed by a whole lot of papers, and further and more I manage to get things printed in a weekly magazine once in a wile that has got a immense "circulation and between the newspapers ' and the weekly I guess they would be very few people that wouldn't see your stuff, and at lease I would guaran tee that when they was a law past like prohibition, people would find out about it instead of being a lot of them that don't seem to of never heard of it. Once In a wile I might maybe half to rewrite your, proclamations and touch them up a little, but I guess AIDE 350 R y,ou wouldn't mind that as lonr we was getting paid for them and. your name would go n them as co author! Between .yoti and It Serw I don't believe President Wilson got a nickle'for his stuff wfle Bryan and Lansing and Colby has been trying to place it, and wile I don't like to indulge in no personaltys none C the men who X have seen their name mentioned in connection with belnaf the neit secy, of state has ever sold anything to a magazine or a news paper. Whai 1 storys has philander T H. Knox wrote for inst. And besides that, Sen., I wouldn't be surprised if we co'uld get .Mrs.; Preston or Dick E Dor san to liven up your messages and the new laws with a few draw ings. .J'-..-"-..'-- Now, I suppose..- the story they been spreading around about has reached your ears, . namely that I got a Vi vote for president on the Democratic ticket at the San Fran cisco convention. Well Sen., I won't : deny the story as It Is true, but it Is only fair thatyou ought to ktKw all the facts namely, that the man that give me the 4 vote was stewed at the time. This man was a dele-. gate at large from St. Louis and the change of ether got him. As a matter of fact, Sen., I haven't never been nothing but a Republican' if' that, and at the time wile the por tion from MlssouH was hiccoughing my name I was eating supper at the home of an tld buddy of yours, Hi ram Johnson. Now Sen., I suppose you will want to know why I axn thinking about leaveihg my present position. Well', Sen., I might of asked you .the same, question last fall and you would of told me none of my . business. Well Sen., I might say that goes double but. I won't, Sen. The reason la be' cause the house we got is too big te hoat with imaginary coal and any way I have always been wild to liv In a cabinet. I t - If you ever get to New York give me a ring or call me up and come out to dnjner. You will half to take pot luck as they say, but I am a friend of a lot of the boys around here that seen far into the future and we can go around visiting in th evening, also they's a man and his wife here that voted for -Mr. Co that we show to all .yisitors, and mean wile wishing you and Mrs. IL a happy new year and hopeing to hear a favorable reply to this application I will half to remain, 1 -.
