COLBY APPOINTMENT CAUSES INDIGNATION
Ul- UtMUUKAl HtAUd
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. The forced resignation of Secretary of State Lansing caused no more astonishment and amazement in Washington than did the announcement from the White House that President Wilsun has selected Rainbridge Colby, former Republican, former Progressive, and lately a Wilson Democrat, as, the new secretary of state. Democratic senators are indignant ir.s -well as shocked. While few of the
Democratic leaders would talk for publication, they used expressions in private conversations with newspaper men that would almost melt the wires if trusted to the telegraph. Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, paid for quotation that "Mr Colby's nomination for secretary of state is a keep disappointment to Democrats and indeed it is an insult to Democrats, especially New York Democrats." This was Senator King's public declaration, but in private conversation he used descriptive terms that were even less complimentary. "I thought Mr. Colby was a Bull Mooser. I simply can't understand the President," said Senator Shields, Democra of Tennessee.
