Knox, the Taft secretary of state, comen to Augusta to discuss tho president--elect the make-up of the remainder of tho administration cabinet. Mr. Taft will onk him to approve of Myron T. Her rick. former governor of Ohio, -an sec retary of the treasury. This fact can be stated an coming from authentic sources. Before Mr. Taft offered the treasury portfolio to Representative Theodore K. Burton, of Ohio, he wan seriously considering Herrick for the place. Now Herrick Is the approved man for tho Job. The selection of Knox an aecretary of state is of vast Nlgnlflcar.cc In that It will probably mean that most of the men now in tho cabinet who have figured as great Roosevelt supporters, will lone out In tho final framing of the personnel of tho Taft cabinet. Tho president-elect Is frank In hln state ment that he will depend on the coun sc I of Knox more than on the advice of any other man.
