in. Another thought by another cor-
ho | respondent, in the same issue c*.’ the
rr.-1 same newspaper, suggests that the

by | cr Colonel Kncac, and Lewis Doug
las. Now men run for political office
for one of two reasons: a desire for
nublic service or gratification of
personal ambition. That ambition in
minor office carries with it the hop *
of still higher office. How much
public service could Lew Douglas
render as Governor Landcn’s orj
Colonel Knox’s understudy? More-1
ever, where would it leave Douglas? j
The Republicans, if they got control i
of the government would hardly 1
take a convert so new for thfcir
own candidate at a subsequent elec
tion. and. surely nobody would ex
pect the Democrats ever to run a
deserter.
Of course, this discussion is on
something as intangible as the fourth
dlmension. which mathematicians
play with purely for academic di
version. But assuming politically, as
these pundits do arithmetically, an
absurd premise, where would such
a candidacy leave the highly intelli
gent Mr. Dou'las?
CealKlM Cabinet
Following tut the same train of
though, we ec.*ne to the suggestion
of Democratic cabineteers in a Re
publican administration. A favorite
suggestion is that Senator Glass
would make an admirable Secretary
of the Treasury. Of course, he would
but there are a few things in th»
•vay. In the first place Senator Glass
has time and time again made the
positive as-ertion that, though he
differed from President Rocsevelt
on certain polirie°. he was and in-
* ended to continue to be a Demo
crat and to support the man he de
scribes as his "affectionate friend”
in the coming election. In the sec
ond place, you could not hand Sen-
Glass the Secretaryship cf the
Treasury on a gold platter. He
could have had that under the pres
ent Administration. But he refused
'*mphat«cally long before the present
Administration took hold and be
fore any difference had developed
between the President and the .Sen
ator. Pretty much the same situa
tion is true as to Senator Harry
Byrd, who takes the same petition
as does Carter Glass. In short, there
is no Democrat of prominence who
would take a cabinet job under n
Republican President.
Whenever a party finds itself in
the doldrums you begin to hear this
talk of a coalition administration.
