appointed Republican Henry Stim
son to be his secretary of war to
succeed Harry Woodring who re
signed; and when he appointed
Republican Frank Knox of Chica
go to succeed secretary of the
navy, Edison, who resigned to run
for governor of New Jersey. Col.

Stimson was secretary of state
under Hoover and secretary of war
under Taft. Both are able men

ocrats don’t like it either, for
Knox and Stimson favor giving thu
Allies more support.
