DETERMINED TO
DEFEAT LEAGUE
Harding's Views on an Early
Declaration Of Peace With
Germany Interpreted.
MEANS EXTRA SESSION

Marion, o.. July ST.. N. s)-Tb,
statement that he WOULD approve dec.
laration OF peace with Germany as soor
as 1t could be presented TO him bN
congress, made by Senator Warren al
Harding In his speech accepting the re.
publican nomination for the presidency
| indicates In the judgment OF repub.
| hcans here, an extra session of con-
gtess after March next II Senator
| elected.
The position taken by the republican
party on the league OF nations cove =
Aant and approved by Senator Harding,
leaves no doubt, 1t Is believed, OF the re :
publican purpose to defeat finally the
Wilson league. Congress will be urged
to declare peace and to repeal wartime
laws, but friends OF Senator Harding
do not think he would call congress In
extraordinary session unless there was
a republican majority in house and SEN
ate each.
That the extra session is contemplated
by republicans generally is evidenced by
a telegram received by the senator from
Congressman c. Bascom Slemp, OF Vir-
ginia, congratulating the senator on his
speech OF acceptance. Slemp wired:
"All eastern papers interpret speech
as calling for an extra session. This
will undoubtedly be approved"
Senator Harding called attention, also,
In his speech to an expected demand
for revision OF the tariff to meet the
republican doctrine OF protection for
American Industries. Besides the peace
declaration and repeal OF war laws the
extra session would take up the task
OF demoiishing the Underwood Simmons
democratic tariff law and enacting q
republican tariff law In Its stead
Correspondence occupied Senator
Harding's attention again today, big
docket OF letters and kilograms accum-
ulating over notification day being
placed before him when he reached his
desk. Many OF the communications
were messages OF congratulation on his
acceptance speech and many others Kept
coming in during the day.

Peck to present Mr.. Taylor to his audi
ence here and beg the republicans Of
the county to support him. However
| ex-Mayor J. M. Littleton has a follow
ing in the county who predict that All
Taylor will not have an altogether easy
victory in McMinn; that their man will
get a good vote, and may carry the
county.
The preponderance Of opinion is. how
ever, that McMinn, under the leader
ship of Capt. PePck. will receive q
large majority in the county.
Race for Congress.
The race for congress between Judge
Moon and Judge j.. v. Williams is not
attracting so much interest as the races
for governor. However, some publicity
and organization work Is being done In
the interest of each. The town is we'll
decorated with pictures OF both candi-
dates. and occasionally one hears a
heated argument between partisans OF
the candidates. l have two personnel
friends of long standing in Athens.
asked both Of them at different times
today who would carry the county for
congress. One replied that Moon would
carry 1t by small majority: the other
that the county would go for Williams.
But" he added in the interest of the
safety first principle, 1.-THE race will be
close" From these forecasts, and some
other straws that are flying around In
down in the doubtful list of counties
and risk the chance of bringing down
the wrath OF both candidates on my
head.
An Historic Town.
A visit to this old town Of Athens Is
always a pleasure to me. There is much
historic interest here. Bob" Fisher,
who by the way Is just emerging from
a serious operation, has all of this his
toric wealth at his home, carefully filed
away for the entertainment of his
friends. The atmosphere Of Athens is
pure and invigorating. Educational in
situations located here have had their
influence. for a hundred years or longer,
in producing culture and refinement
among the people. Athens since the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary, has had a big man In public life;
but those days are past and gone. Her
best men are now turning their atten-
ton to commercial enterprises, finance,
and manufacturing industry with the
result that spinning mills, big banks
and large commercial concerns are maxi
ing the community rich. An advertise
ment, for instance, appeared in the local
papers this week announcing that
Athens now has a million-dollar bank.
The claim Is made that Athens is the
first town Of its population class to
climb so high In finances In Tennessee,

good. or nearly so. II applied to the
