Washington. July S1.-(SpeciaD.-Ther are reports in political circles of Wash ington that Senator Harding will not escape as lightly as was first presumed following his surrender to the bitter enders on the League of Nations.
 In the Senate, Senator Harding stood squarely by the Lodge group of Sena- tors, the majority group. They pro- fessed deep and abiding love for the league, but not the league in the exact form that President Wilson devised it.. They wanted the league, they repeatedly stated, but with reservations. They re- sented the mild charge that they were opposed to the league in any form.
 The bitter-enders, led by Senators Johnson and Borah. demanded that Senator Harding. in his speech of ac- ceptance, say something that would make it possible for them to support him. He repudiated the league, prom ised to call an extra session of Congress for the making of separate peace with Germany, and then leisurely to proceed towards the establishment of an inter- national court. Immediately Johnson an- nounced his satisfaction.
 But Senator Harding, to certain ex- tent, parted company with Lodge ana Penrose. The understanding is that he did so with the agreement Of those senators who yielded to the expedlent- But others, the so-called mild reserVa- tionists,' are up in arms. Such senators as Kenyon, of Iowa; McCumber, ol North Dakota, and Nelson. Of Michigan do not like the vacillating attitude of Harding. They did not approve of the nomination of Harding. It is said that they are really incensed that he aban- doned the league of peace altogether and has shown his real colors and the colors of his ,collaborators, in which colors they sought to kill the league heaping it at the same time with ful- some and fearful praise.
 In some republican quarters 1t IS reported that in the very near future Senator Harding will have another state ment regarding the league. His problem is said to be how next to appease the mild reservationists" and hold to his standard, at the same time, the bitter enders led by Johnson and Borah-

GRASSHOPPERS CAUSE OF GRONNA'S DEFEAT

Washington. July 31-(Special) )-Sena- tor Gronna of North Dakota attributes his recent defeat in the republican prl- mary to graSShopperS. At the same tliils the farmers of North Dakota declare that the grasshoppers are not to blame. They charge that Gronnas indifference to
 their fate is responsible.
 At any rate, the democrats find con solation in the fact that in one instance
 where the republicans endeaVored to hold the administration responsible for all possible shortcomings, retr1oution
 was quick and complete. The story IS as follows:
 In the beginning of the crop season,
 grasshoppers overran North Dakota and played havoc with the tender wheat. III their desperation, the farmers appealed to their senator, MT. Gronna, who, py virtue of the fact that he was chairman of the powerful committee on agriculture, was the very man to whom they shouiu have turned in time of trouble
 To all petitions MT. Gronna gave an swer to the effect that the Secretary or Agriculture was equipped with sufficient funds to stamp out the pests and save the day There was the insinuat1on that the Secretary of Agriculture was most careless or indifferent-otherwise the | grasshoppers would not have come or certainly would not have been able to make any progress
 l So the farmers, after this long delay, got in touch with the Secretary of Asri- culture It was then demonstrated tnat
 the secretary had no funds to cover the
 emergency And the grasshoppers hao consumed the wheat
 | So Gronna made a very poor spectacie when he asked for new nomination. A non-partisan, pr. Ladd. defeated him. Dr. I.add was originally democrat ana was appointed wheat commissioner py President Wilson. There is question Ill consequence in the minds or repupiican ,,, senators as to whether or not he Will lcollaborate with them or with the demo- crats. It is said to be their intention to run an independent republican against lhim unless he gives assurance that he Twill sit under the domination or Penrose' l Inasmuch, however. as pr. Ladd' though a non-partsan, participated Tn the republican primary, the democrats do not hope for much aid from him. In

BISHOP BERRY SAYS
 VETS ARE FOR COX

Washington, July a.-(SpeclaL-Blshop Berry, of Philadelphia, high in the counsels of the Methodist church, after a visit to Ohio, stops in Washington re- turning home with the statement that the "wets'' of Ohio are unanimously supporting Governor Cox, the democratic nominee for the presidency.
 "There is no doubt of that fact" he added "As a consequence, the prohibi- tion forces of the nation will sweep Senator Harding into the White House. The 'temperance' forces are not asleep
 Asked regarding the favor which pro hibitionists, deep down in their hearts, accorded Senator Harding, the bishop replied that, whereas Harding was not as strongly inclined to prohibition as the prohibtionists would have him ln- clined, the attitude of the "wets' would force the dries to take the other horn of the dilemma
 When it was suggested that the "dries" could support party operat- ing exclusively on the principle which lies next their hearts, the bishop had nothing pertinent to say.

strongest prohibitionist candidate in

Judging from the area which Emery
has covered by his preliminary canvass
he has much better right TO be Sc

Mr.. Glynn says plaintively that Bah

Agan. He therefore wants the dry

Political Advertising.
(Randolph Herald.l

IF the Vermont corrupt practices act,
as alleged. forbids among other things
the expenditure of money by candidates
for Office in the payment for political
advertising in newspapers, it should be
amended; not for the benefit of the
publishers, who are unable to secure
enough newsprint to carry their regular
matter alone. but for the benefit of the
public and as a surety against the
abuses likely to ensue if such publicity
is prevented. The law specifically au-
thorizes circularizing political appeals.
This puts a premium on partial and I'M
fair statements carried to the voter Sc
cretlv, which would mislead him, as
we'll as put to disadvantage a rival who
did not resort to such methods. If cir
culars were forbidden and the law re.
quired all pleas for support to be oper
and public it would come nearer achiev.
ing its purpose In practice, nearly al
candidates have heretofore employed
the public appeal through the news
papers. Mr.. Agan announces that HI
will do so this year. and we hardly ey
