ment I made when taking the oath
that I would follow the adminis-
trative line laid down by Presi-
dent McKinley I requested the

sation with a gentleman this after-

the cabinet to remain in their
places for several months"

by bim and be said in substance

requiring the calling of Congress
together on the succession of a vice

that after consultation with the
cabinet members they had decided
that no such extra session would
be called.
