SAN DIEGO, July 17. Asked as to
the practicability of the vice president
of the United States presiding over the
senate and being a permanent member
of the president's cabinet, Vice Presi
dent Marshall said today it was "an
impossibility. The vice president would
have to preside over the senate with a
gun if he were entering actively into
the secret sessions of the cabinet." Mar
shall further said: "Questions are nat
urally discussed with much freedom
at cabinet meetings and dissension
its presiding officer be so actively in
touch with the administration as to be
a permanent member of the cabinet. I
have literally to sit with my eyes shut
and politics have no room in the reas
oning of the senate executive when
matters are presented."

It always takes some time for the '
true stories of a big convention to get ;
in circulation, says the Sparks Tribune,
and at this date it is learned that a Nc
vada man could have been the perma
nent chairman of the Democratic con
vention at San Francisco if he had
only consented to accept the position.
Prominent Democratic leaders align
ed with all factions of the party that
were in evidence at San Francisco
were united in the desire to have Key
Pittman, senior senator from Nevada,
take the permanent chairmanship .and
it was only after his refusal that Sen
ator Robinson was placed in the posi
, tion. Just why the Nevada senator
would not accept is not known, but it
is intimated that one of the compelling
reasons for his action is the fact that
"he was not a delegate and did not de
sire to take an active and prominent
part under those circumstances.
P.ut the senator was not inactive dur
ing the convention. He was at all times
to be found working for the party and
advising with the big men of the party,
but withal he did not become so wrap
ped up in his efforts for the party that
he forgot to welcome Nevadans who
were in the city to attend the conven
tion. He won many friends by the solic
itude he displayed for the welfare and
comfort of all of the visiting Nevadans.
