In some 'of the gossip that has been published on this subjecL the likelihood of General Wood's being selected ts put on the ground of a deal made by hlin, or by his leaders on his behalf, at tne Chicago convention with the "victorious Harding forces. Considered in the light of the actual facts, this is absurd and is another example of the kind of subtle propaganda not infrequent In the current gossip about cabinet appointments, designed less to advance a man that to Impair his chances. , V Pershing Discussed. I crat .Might Be -- By MARK SULLIVAN. WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. So. Re- peating what I said apologetically yesterday in discussing possibilities for secretary of State; namely, that all of this kind of discussion la of dubious taste and little value, aid Is only justified as a record of what is actually consuming a good deal of.the time of Republican lead- - SrS.'let hi consider the men who are mentioned for secretary of war. The discussions and surmises on this point center chiefly about four names: General Leonard Wood, General Pershing, Congressman Julius Kahn of California and Senator George Chamberlain of Oregon. Of -- these General Wood Is the most obvious. He has favor of many Republican leaders, and that rather important section of .the party which sup- ported him for the presidential nomination would be especially gratified at nis selection- .- General Wood has in some de- gree the capacity that Mr. Roosevelt had for Inspiring, an almost extrava-"layfollow 'antorfgr ers and those who come in contact with him. f t f " t ar for being grateful to Governor den or to his leaders for the switching of delegates during the close ballots. But If this is true Governor Lowden Is the only one of tne defeated candidates for the Republican presidential nomination who can be said to .have a claim on Harding for aid in getting the nomination. General Wood, as a matter of fact, was conspicuous In holding his delegates to the end. . All the Republican leaders agree that after the Harding nomination was made, General Wood went out of his way to give conspicuous support to Harding and to Induce his followers to do the same. The net W all this discussion of the political aspects of General Wood s relation to the office of secretary of war is that they neither qualify nor disqualify him, and are unfair, as much of the cabinet gossip is Unfair, both to Mr. Harding and the man discussed Choice. Wood Temperamentally -- Kahn Is Favorite. Unfit. The objections made to General Wood by a few among the Republican leaders consist chiefly of doubts as to his temperamental adaption to the kind of teamwork that is necessary tn a cabinet General Wood's career and all the distinctions bo has earned have been chiefly in situations where he had sole control and sole responsibility This was true in the Philippines, in Cuba and in the various army posts where he achieved his honors. Borne wonder is expressed whether this kind of one-mexperience may possibly have led General Wood to be unadaptable to that kind of friendly cooperation and teamwork and to the taking into account of political and personal considerations which Republican leaders .regard as essential in the 'new cabinet It is cited as proof for this an er Ksh.C to be in wmarafvtoCsf a state of feud with some of the higher officers of the army, and the existence of this factional feeling is given as an additional reason why the Public Favors Civilian. election of General Wood might be inHe is one of the very small number of advisable.

On the same geographical grounds, however. It Is pointed out that Congressman Nolan, also of California, is beitg urged for a cabinet position. The truth is, however, that geographical grounds- - do not need to have much weight either for or against any man. When a president ts backed by an overwhelming majority in as many sections of the country as Senator Harding has been he does not need to consider the geographical distribution of his cabinet. The mention of Senator George Chamberlain of Oregon rests chiefly on the Harding may wish theory thatatSenatorone Democrat in his least to appoint cabinet. Mr. Chamberlain is the present from senator senior Oregon. He was defeated in ths recent election by a bare three or four thousand votes, although Harding carried the state by- an unprecedented majority. Chamberlain Popular.
