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.

"Wil! you abolish such functions when I >ou assume the office?” I "Most certainly I will." said the gov- I erner.
