On With the New in Washington
Anderson, Paul Y. | March 20, 1929 issue

This article focuses on the political developments in Washington D.C. The U.S. President Herbert Hoover started his term with a fight with the U.S. Senate. The issue was the confirmation of Andrew W. Mellon as Secretary of the Treasury, and the President sought to evade it simply by omitting to submit Mellon's name. In allowing the Secretary to hold over from the preceding Administration without reconfirmation, President Hoover was probably within his legal rights, although the normal course would have been to submit that name along with the rest.
