He may lead a revolt against Mr. Coolidge on the serious charge— not uncommon in politics—that the man from Massachusetts doesn’t stick by the regulars in his party. Such a movement might, on the one hand, estrange certain elements but it might, on the other hand, win to Mr. Coolidge’s _side independent voters who want him to break the fetters of party. Thére have been rumors for some time that opposition to the nomina- tion of Mr. Coolidge might be led by former Gov. Frank O Lowden of Illi- nois.

But the President, nevertheless, came the conclusion that the investigation port- is too much of an embarrassment. and | that Mr. Daugherty could not defend himself against attacks from the S ate and _conduct his office. The thing which really weakened Mr. Daugherty's position the widely spread understanding that he would retire soon, irrespective of t outcome of the inves fon. The morale of the Department of Justi is affected when it becomes Known that the man at the top is likely to be leaving office any day. The President was apprised of this situatio He acted because the problems were got- Ung more and more complicated for him. As for a successor, several names are under consideration. One of these is Judge Willlam S. Kenvon of lowa. He resigned from the United Senate to go on the federal bench He likes the judiciary, but that being the e, he must like to go to the very top. And there is usually more chance of promotion to the Supreme Court of the United States direct from the Department of Justice than from the district bench. Headed Farm Blor. Mr. Kenyon was the head of farm bloc when in the Senate. The west has confidence in him—and it is in the west that Mr. Coolldge needs strength. Furthermore, Judge Kenyon was assistant attorney gen- eral in the Taft administration and has a thorough famillarity with the affairs of the department. He was offered the secretarysip of the Nav: but declined, because He didn't.think he was fit ‘for the portfolio. "The fact that Mr. Coolidge wanted him in the cabinet is significant. ~ Since that time Judge Wilbur of Califarnia, who, it was thought, would be Attor- ney General, has accepted the Navy portfolio, which enables the -Presi dent to offer the job of Attornme tieneral to Judge Kenyon. He seems the most likely choice ut the moment. 13 NORTH DAKOTA VOTES BOUND FOR PRESIDENT Coolidge Wins Eight, La Follette Five of Delegates, But All Must Stand by Former. By the Associated Press.

NOTED IRISH COMPOSER IS CLAIMED BY DEATH Sir Charles Villiers Stanford Noted for Choral Writings and ‘Works as Conductor. to By the Associated Press LONDON, March 20.—Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, the noted Irish composer, died today at his home here. Born in Dublin in 1838, Stanford for many vears was organist of Trin- ity College, professor of music at Cambridege University and conductor of the Cambridge University Musical Society for more than twenty years. Stanford's music has been adjudged by the critics as strongly individual- istic, with the characteristics impart- ed by his Irish nativity well marked. His Irish symphony has been fre- quently performed here and abroad, and his light opera, “Shamus O’Bryen,” had a long run in London in the 90s.
