Indiana Author Selected Minister to Portugal.

Meredith Nicholson, of Indianapolis, well known author, is to be the IT. S. minister to Lisbon, Portugal, his name having been sent to the senate Wednesday for confirmation. There was considerable opposition in Indianapolis among politicians when it became known two or three weeks ago that Mr. Nicholson had been recommended to the president. The charge was that he was not “much of a democrat,” but VicePresident Marshall was for him and that seems to have been enough. Mr. Nicholson was a reporter for several years on the Indianapolis Sentinel.
