Helena. Mont. Sept u-President
Wilson talked radicalism today. He
talked it in the country where the
I. W. W. have many times been active
The President placed his stamp Of
approval on radicalsm-of the right
kind.
And wherever there is anything
wrong" he declared. there is abunI-
ant food for radicalism. The only
way to keep men from agitating
grievances. and as long as things are
wrong, l do not intend to ask men
to stop agitating. 1 intend to beg
that they will agitate in an orderly
fashion; that they will use the or
derby methods OF counsel.
Otherwise we will have chaos, but
as long as there is something to cor
rect. I say, 'Godspeed to the men
who are trying to correct it That
is the only way to meet radicalism. >

Republican committee. authorizing
the use Of the senator's name in the
choosing of delegates 10 the National

Senator Harding is the third Re-
publican senator TO make known his
presidential aspirations. Senators
Poindexter of Washington and john
son Of California already have for
mally announced their candidacy and
a formal boom for Senator Sutherland
Of West Virginia also has been in

he mad mo personal preference in the
rnatIar'' but gladly would cooperate
in making effective the manifest
wish Of the Republicans of the state.
He added however. that he woulG
announce no Platform as that was
the duty Of the national convention.
The senator said he would not maxi
u personal pre-conventIpn campaign
because II would necessitate neglect
Of his Senate duties.

state organization and many letters
TO political friends have expressed my
real reluctance 10 permit the use Of
my name in this connection" the let
