National Politics Gain Mo-
mentum with Many
After Conventions.

National politics gathered mo-
mentum in Washington last night.
Friends of Senator Warren @. Hard
ing. Ohio. announced he would be n
candidate for the Republican presi-
dental nomination.
Party leaders are arriving. and cities
which want the 1870 Republican con-
vention are getting active. in prepara-
ton for the meeting Of the g. o. =.
National Committee here next month.
Chicago. Cleveland. Kansas City and
Minneapolis are in the running.
Harding and Senators Poindextei
and johnson are now definitely in the
race for the Republican prize, and Il
number of others are on the verge
OF getting into it. Gen. Leonard
Wood. Herbert Hoover, Governor
LOwden OF Illinois. and Charles NJ.
schwab are among many others men
toned
Indications last night were that
q number OF individual candidates.
will be running abreast when the
nominating convention meets. The
real sitting. 1t appeared. will come
then. Some Republicans believed
that Gen. Wood is pitted against
the field and many believed this
applied also TO Lowden. Other can
didates on the Republican side
scarcely had time to get beyond
the "favorite SON. stage. Lowden
and Wood have national organiza-
tions hard at work.
The announcement by Senator
Harding's friends last night did not
come as a surprise to political OBJ
servers here. Recently he wrote a
letter to the Ohio State committee
that he was not a Candidate for he
Office. but the statement issued last
night by Harry NJ. Daugherty, mem
Der of the Ohio State executive
committee. and a close friend of
Harding, was taken as a forerun-
ner of a definite announcement by
Harding himself. Harding, accord
ing to DauCherty's statement, will
be a candidate for both the Pres
idential nomination and the Sena-
torial nomination. Ohio Republi-
cans have brought strong pressure
on Harding. 1t is said here, to in
duce him to come out for one of
the two offices, so that another Re-
publican could get into the race.

1t is a curious fact that while the wo-

always enjoyed the greatest freedom,
participating and competing with men in
the business and pleasure of life, the
ladies of the royal household have been

the most private social gatherings and
never at public or official functions As

expected to have in his harem a member
of every influential family in the country,
for it is considered that in no other way
could he be in such close touch with the
people of his kingdom. Polygamy has,
therefore. been considered an obligation
of royalty But, curiously enough, the
present reigning monarch IS a bachelor,
the first and only bachelor who has sat
upon the throne of his fathers in $500
years And thereby hangs a tale, for
marriage by a Siamese sovereign has
meant not the simple taking of one wife
or a dozen, or even mere hundred, but
