Selection of the Attorney-General of .President elect Wilson's Cabinet lies among five prominent Democrats, it seems sure. They are Louis D. Brandeis, Boston T" . .. , V attorney; representative n. uune son, of Texas; Representative Robert L. Henry, of Texas; Representative A; Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, and Samuel Untermyer, of New York. From a prominent Democrat who was among- Governor Wilson's earliest supporters and a valiant warrior at the Baltimore convention and on the stump during the. recent campaign this quintet was named. He said these five men were the most likely candi dates for the Attorney-Generafship. Burleson and Palmer have ' been mentioned also for other Cabinet po sitions. J, That the search of Governor Vil- son for an Attorney-General will ex tend outsfde those named is prob able, as this is one of the most im-, portant positions to be filled because of the frequent assertion of the suc cessful candidate on the trust ques tion promising jail bars for violators- of anti-trust "laws.

The following lines were published in the Journal twelve years ago while Senator F. M. Simmons was making his camyaign for election to the United States Senate: What a queer thing is that Senator chat, Who ever dreamed of a fight likeihat ? Who ever thought that divided we'd be, As to who should succeed- "Old Mary- Ann Bp." Do you remember in ninety-eight. When we started in to save the State When negro rule was having full sway. And everything good had been driven away. Who was it then, when we needed a man, To lead us out from under that band, That went to the wheel of the "old ship" of .State. And headed her straight for the gol den gate. Whose mighty brain vand powerful r- hand, Brought the "old ship" safe to land? Brought ' her out of a sea of despair, And placed her in a harbor fair? Where she will stay for the ages to come, -,; " '' . ......
