as Mr. Wilson’s choice for secretary o*
state and this lent added interest to
their conference today. It is under
stood that Mr. Bryan will have ills
choice of position'.
Bryan’s Friends
Figure a Bit.
Bryan's friends have taken two views
of the cabinet proposition. Some be
iieve that he would be in a more ad
vantageous position to criticise the ad
ministration if he chooses so to do bv
emaining outside the cabinet. They
also believe that his candidacy for the
presidential nomination in 1916 would
be jeopardized if he were to tie lifmse't
too tightly with tiie Wilson administra
t:on.
William F. McCombs will be a mem
ber of the cabinet. This can be state'
definitely. Both Governor Wilson and
Mr. McCombs admitted as much after a
long conference. The post to which M;
McCombs is to be appointed has not
I been decided upon.
Mr. Wilson does not intend to make
I any announcement until he has hiscab-
I inet in a fairway of being cnmnletofl.
Tonight Mr. Bryan will be in New
York, where he will attend the dinner
I to Governor-elect Sulzer at the Wa •
I dorf. Mr. Wihon will not attend this
dinner.
To Abolish
Daily Receptions.
| Gov< rnor Wilson made two impor
tant announcements after his confer
ience with Chaiiman McCombs.
First, iie declared that he would
I abolish the daily receptions which h:r. ?
; taken up so much of President Taft's
time. Governor Wilson intends to de
vote all ot his time to governing the
i United States, and as little as possible
Ito shaking hands with curiosity seek-
Second, he will upset the tradition
I which has precluded the newspaper
| correspondents from quoting the presi
dent in tiie first person. President Wi;-
■ .-"ti will speak for himself whenever he
liras anything to say, and will no! in
i.Dust his thoughts to the interpretation
of another person.
White House "Pink
Teas’’ Waste of Time.
On tiie subject of the daily recep
, lions, or pink teas, that have been given
[ il'.' im on at the white house since
i time out of mind. Governor Wilson said:
"Tii'y seem to me to be a great
waste of th. time of tiie government
; i :•■ . ,i mb r when Grover Cleveland was
i: . ii'.tiit it was then the custom forth
| "x-cati\ i.' hi 1-,'i'd af.emoon receptions
I was a: the white house on one of
ili'-se occasions, and it was necessary
for me to get into an adjoining room
- Te (.<> o I was obliged to get int"
the handshaking line. Tiie handshak
ing ordeal was a kind of trolley a

, | "The president merely eaug.i; :- p
' | people in line by hand and jerked the 1 . 1 '
I >v as rapidly as possible. When i
, came my turn I was rushed by with the
■ rest, and the president scarcely recog
nized me, such was his haste. It seern
-1 cd to me then that the receptions were
a good deal of a hippodrome, and that
n<> useful purpose was served by them.'
"Wil! you abolish such functions when
I >ou assume the office?”
I "Most certainly I will." said the gov-
I erner.
