My opinion upon these questions was never sought or expressed either in or out of the cabinet. If the ofl leases were ever referred to in cabinet meetings, and I do not recall that they were, it was ‘certainly only by way of Gen- eral references and without requir. ing any responsible action, which, ef course, I should not have been willing to take without examination of papers and statutes.

Proudly on the banks of the Big Hows without suffering any of the outrageous flings of the storm king, Birdseye pass, according to the stories of “Wildcat Sam,” has been buried deep in snow and bearing the rigors of an old fashioned winter. For a time, according to the story he tells, Sam thought the entire hill was haunted. Winter came in September with plenty of snow on Birdseye pass.

Mr. Daugherty’s visit’ to Miami Beach has brought up old memories the ghosts of happier days than those which now confront him. It was here just a little less than a year ago that Harry-Daugherty, the friend and dictator of the po'itical fortunes of Warren G. Harding, an: nounced to the world that Mr, Hard. ing would be unanimous choice of his party for renomination this year, and would be re-elected beyond the shadow of a doubt. This was the first formal an- nouncement that Mr. Harding had decided to stand for re-election. There were many who knew he was. tired and weary of the job in the White House. Mr. Harding had looked upon government as a simple fire in certain q) rs, and he de- elded that if Mr. lidge desired to retain his services he would remain at the head of the department of Justice. Mr. Coolidge announced he wanted n¢ changes whatever, so Mr. Daugherty has remained, despite the bitterness with which he has been sssailed in congress and out.
