Washington, No*. 20.—Informa
tion cam** to Washington tonight
that fgrmbert of tho North Carolina
Farmers' Union, may make an effort
t? eecnre the indorsement of former
Senator Marion Butler for Secretary
of Agriculture in Harding’* eabinat

“There . are many Interesting an
gles In connection with the efforts
to place the Influence of Mr. Bar- ■
refit behind the mention of the Tar
Heel candidate for cabinet honors.
Mr. Barrett in a Democrat, according
to GeCTya* standards of Democracy.
He was chairman <*f the iU-fatKl
Wntaen-Hoke Smith delegation te
the San Francisco convention which
waa not allowtd te be seated.
Whether Mr. Butler is successful,
or whether Mr. Barrett endorses him.
opens op an Interesting question e
mong the spectator* of Southern po
lities with regard to its affect on the
two major parties.
- It la said here that Mr. Barrett
had an ambition te be secretary of
agriculture in 1923 when President
Wilson came Into power. Ha waa net
appointed, and it in uo betrayal of
confidence to say that Mr. Barrett
baa not been an admirer of the WO
eon administration. Ha croseed with
Herbert Hoover during the war on
agricultural matters. The Georgia
man has been a leading critic of the
policies of the Wilson administration.
In this connection, it is Interesting
to learn that Mr. Barrett and Sena
tor-elect Thomas K. Watson, of Ga.,
are close personal friends Watson
has charged In hie Georgia paper that
Mr. Barrett waa not appointed See
retary at Agriculture because of the
alleged animosity, of JosephTu
multy, Secretary to the President, to
^Arother^delJght is the feet that
Mr. Watson and Mr. Butler were to
gether in the Populist days of tho
nineties. Kx-Renator Butler was. Na
tional chairman of the Populist party
when Mr. Watson waa a presidential
candidate or the third party ticket.
So. the chain comae hack to the
names of Butler, Barrett and Wat
