OFFICIALS ARE EAGER TO QUIT FEDERAL POSTS Administration Officials Desire to Recoup Financial Losses. READY FOR RETIREMENT WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—Contrary to the impression existing In many quarters the retiring members of the Democratic administration will retreat from Washington after March 4. not with “beaten and lagging footsteps,” but with heads np and eager to recoup financially from the losses incurred ''n years of public service. Not many Cabinet members In Washington manage to lira on their salaries, and there is a positive air of relief around some of the departments at the prospect of getting back into moneymaking channels again. They also view with no little satisfaction the easy-chalr criticism of the Government instead of the office-chair defense of it. Practically all the members of President Wilson’s Cabinet have completed their plans for after March 4. it was learned today. WILSON NOT TO LEAD PROCESSION. President Wilson will not lead the parade from Washington as Presidents have in former years. lie will remain in Wa'shiagton and devote his time to historfeal and economic writings. Vice President Marshal* said he has no definite plans other than to "seek some quiet spot and rest.” “For eight years,” he once said, "I have boon In the Cave of the Winds. 1 need a rest.”
Secretary of State Balnbrldge Colby. j the youngest member of the President’s | official family, will return" to New York ; and resume nls law practice. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker : will return to Cleveland and again take j ip the practice of law. Secretary of Navy Josephus Daniels ! will go to his home in Baleigh, N. C., and there sit in the editor's easy chair of the Raleigh News and Observer, which he owns. Secretary of Treasury David F. Houston wants to go back to the farm, but he Is considering some alluring offers from financial institutions In New York and Chicago. Houston also has received an offer to asociate himself with the Rockefeller Foundation, which he is considei’ing. Attorney General A. Mitchell Ttlmer plans to return to his home in Stroudsburg, Fa., where be has business interests. •Secretary of Agriculture Edwin T. Meredith will go hack to Des Moines, lowa, to direct his agricultural papers and advertising business. BIBLESOy WILL RETURN TO TEXAS. Postmaster General A. S. Burleson will return to Texas where he has agricultural and other business interests. His friends expect to see him a candidate for Governor in 1922. Secretary of Interior John Barton Payne plans' to return to Chicago and his Jaw practice, along with other Interests there. Secretary of Commerce J. W. Alexander plans to retire to his farming interests around Gallatin, Mo. Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson has nx*t completed hts future plans, it was 6aid at his office. In addition to these, hosts of officials of lesser rank have already made plans or are making business connections with a view to retirement March 4. In the Congressional retirements probably the most notable Is that Champ Clark. He will go home to Bowling Green, Mo., and probably devote his future to lectnrlng and writing. Os the “lame duck” brigade in the Senate, many are hopeful—hopeful that President Wilson will take care of them before March 4 or that President Harding will #fter March 4.
