"There is dissatisfaction upon th part of Progressives but they mus choose between supporting the Repub lican ticket and having another fou years of Democratic rule and all tha it implies.

The Republicans, howeve may as well get over the idea that th election is a cinch and -it behoove every Republican to- buckle down t hard work fo rthe' ticket. Governc Ooolidge's nomination for Vice Pres dent strengthens the ticket in the Eas and undoubtedly throughout the whdi country. As usual, the country wes of the Mississippi is forgotten, bt that part -of the country also will b forgotten by the Democrats. Eithe McAdoo, Marshall or Cox will b named y the iDemocrats. "The most disappointing part of th Republican convention was to see t delegates unable to act until they re ceived word from a sick boss in Phih delphia.

San Francisco, June 15.-That the Republican leaders are less well pleased with the nomination of Sdn ator Warren G. Harding,' of Ohio, for the presidency tonigth than they were last Saturday, was declared by Vice President Thomas R. Marshall on his arrival here tonight to attend the Democratic national convention.-' The Vice President added that he was not a candidate for the presi dency, but, on the contrary was about to retire from politics. He declared that the Republicans were in error if they assumed the election of Senator Harding was a e foregone conclusion and that Presi dent Wilson did not want a third term, but could be nominated and elected for e one if he did. Of Senator Harding's candidacy for a President, the Vice Prvsident said: "The Republicans are not so well pleased now as they were on Saturday e night. Personally, have high regard t for Senator Harding. I would d oany thing for him except vote for him. The r RepuplJcans are making the mistake t of their lives in thinking of the No a vember election as a foregone conclu d sion and of the Democrats as a dis organized, defeated party. They are going to find us very much alive in November." Mr. Marshall decried lavish expendi r tures of money in connection with s presidential campaigns. It was "dis y heartening," he said, adding that he e regretted the "Republicans were not the only guilty ones." e Of the Democratic convention and p his own part as a de'legate in it, the Vice President said: "I am here to promote peace and good will among the Democrats at this a coming convention." He said so far as the convention was concerned "there is no Irish question," and of prohibi tion enforhement he declared: e "Nothing is so detrimental to the s country as the passage of laws and 0 the ignoring of these same laws." r Mr. Marshall's reference to his re tirement was in .answer to a question as to whether he was a candidate for e the Democratic presidential nomina t tion. t His answer was, "I an an old man e who has torn his hair for Bryan, r slaved for Parker and done his hard e est for Wilson, and I am about ready to retire from politics." c --__ o_ e FURMAN G1,EE CLUB COMING The Furman 'Quartet, after a very extensive career in college circles, is to appear in Manning at 8:30 o'clock k Tuesday evening, June 24.

SOVIET MOVE- CRUSHED 1 BY OVERWHELMING VOTE Delegate Declares Greatest Trouble I Today is Bolsheviki Plotters LENINE'S SCHEMES ARE CONDEMNED President Gompers Makes Bitter At. tack Against Zoning Sys tem of Mailing Rates Montreal, June 15.-Movement to !all upon the United States to recog iize the Soviet government or lift 3lockades against Soviet Russia, was blocked in the annual convention of 'he American Federation of Labor to Jay after a heated debate. James A. Duncan, of the Seattle Central Labor Council, led the fight in behalf of the Soviet with the aid of representatives )f the Ladies Garment Workers, but the convention adopted by an over whelming vote the report of the reso lutions committee opposing any ac Lion. The committee report declared the federation would not be "justified in taking any action that might be con strued as an assistance to or approval :f, the Soviet government, so long as it is based upon authority which has not been yested in it by a popular national representative assembly of the Russian people, or so long as it endeavors to create revolutions in well established civilized nations of the world, or so long as it advocates and applies militarization to labor and prevents the organizing and junction ing of trades union and maintenance of free speech, free press and free public assembly." Against Democracy John Frey, chairman of the resolu tions committee, said it had ascer tained on the "highest authority" that the Soviet government is an "auto cratic, militaristic gQggnnent that does not believe in Deiocracy," and is ruling by the "iron hand of the die tatorship." Extracts from Lenine's speeches which he read, showed, Mr. Frey de elared, that Lenine believed in making "trades unions subservient to the Soviet government and labor comlpul iory." Opposition to the report, he said, "might indicate that the Bolshe viki had infested the ranks of organ ized labor in America with its propa ganda." Mr. Duncan said the committee had made a "camoufjage report," to de ceIve the workers of the country as to the true situation in Russia. Condi tions there were much better than re ported in, this country, he said, and added that President Wilson and Pr mier Lloyd George approved recogni tion of the Soviet government but had not the "courage of their convictions to stand nrt. declare for it." Not lite Will of the People James Duncan of Washingto., A). C. first vice president of the federation, unswveredl in defense of the comnmittee report,, lie read a telhgram' from See :'etary of Stale -Colby, which said the existing govemnnment (lid not "repjre sent the will or consent of any eon Sideraomle( propationm of the Russian p)eopJle." Daid Gr C ang.e, a New York dlelegate said the greatest trouble in A merica was the Bolshleviki plotters who are trying to disrupt (.rganized'( labor.

Chicago, .June 15.-Maj. Gen. Leon ard Wood, in a signed statement to night characterized as a "vicious and malicious falsehood," a declaration by Nicholas Murray Butler, that a "mot ley group of stock gamblers, oil and mining promoters, munitions makers and other like persons" backed the general's campaig nfor the Republican Presidential nomination. Gen Wood said he regretted to make the statement but that it was neces sary to "brand a fakir and to denounce a lie," declaring that the men who managed his campaign were of "extra (ordinary high character," the general said that the attack upon them "is in famous" and that Mr. Butler's action was "an attempt to ingratiate himself with certain elements which exercised a determining influence at the con vention." Gen. Wood's Statement The statement follows: "I have just read the statement is sued in New York by Nicholas Murray Butler to the effect that a omtely group of stock gamblers and others tried to buy the Presidential nomina tion for me, and that the forces who were defeated in their insolent at tempt to buy the nomination repre sent all that is worst in American business and political life. "The statement is a vicious and malicious falsehood. I would ignore it if it were directed at me alone, but I can not remain silent when my loyal friends and supporters are villified. "Col. William Cooper Proctor, who was chairman my campaign commit tee, is a man of extraordinary high character, known throughout the length and breadth of the land for his absolute integrity and honesty. His associates are men of like character, most of whom responded to their coun try's call during the war. They typi fy a group of progressive Americans. The attack upon them is infamous. Endorsed by Voters. "fhe others who brought me before the convention with preponderant force were hundreds of thousands of patriotic men and women in tvery walk of life, who have endorsed me at nationwide State conventions, nation wide State primaries, an(d in a nation wide poll of unprecedented size. "'This action of Nicholas Murray But lei is an attempt to ingratiate him self with certain eleients whieb exer clised a determining influence at the convention and possibly to explain his own political weakness. It. is a self seeking cownrlly attack, made under the cloak of an alleged public service, which was n--verintended, or rendered.

Jed HARDING RANNING' 'fRONT PORcI' IGHT Nominee Opposes lHarn-Storming Campaign WILL STICK TO OD JOB Republicans Declare Margin of Control in Senate Too Narrow to Tamper With Washington June 15.-Senator Hard ing the Republican candidate for the Presidency, indicated in a conference today with newspaper men his opposi tion to a "barn storming" campaign. His preference on the other hand would be for somewhat of a "front porch" campaign from his home in Marion, 0., with a limited number of get speeches delivered on specific oc casions. The Republican nominee also made it clear that there would be no de lay in opening the campaign announc ing that it would not await the offi cial notification of his nomination. The notification, he said, would not take place before July 15 at the earliest. Friends of the Senator supplemented his statements as to the kind of cam paign he desires with the assertion that he believed the office of chief executive of the nation was too high and too important to be sought through a continuous series of whirl wind campaigns tours. Will Hold Old Job. Senator Harding does not intend to retire fro ithe Senate until his term of office expires on March 4. "There is no possibility of that 'Senator Harding declared today, when asked whether he would resign from the Senate immedi ately." I do not intend to resign, but intend to serve my term out. Why shouldn't I?" "I do, however, intend to withdraw my petition filed last week in Colum bus giving notice that I would be a candidate for reelection to the Senate. That will he done this week." Senator Harding's friends explained today that for him to rotice from th Senate would endanger the narrow margin of control held by the Repub licans there as his ret'rement would enable Goxernor Cox., of Ohio to up point a Democrat in his place. They also said that should the Senator be elected President in November he could continue to serve in the Senate as he would not be inaugurated until his term as Senator expired on March 4. The work of preparing his sp)eech of acceptance has not been started by the nominee, and it is expectedl he will defer it until after the conference with Chairman IIays and other party lead ers now tentatively fixed for Monday. "Crent, care must he taken in pre. imring this s;peech.' Snator Harding said today. "It. represents the candi date's interpretation of the platform a of the issues before the people."
