ager Brands as False Tale OF
Friction With Hays.
Nv J. BART CAMPBELL,

MARION, Ohio. Aug. 2O.-Harry NJ
Daughegty manager OF the pre-con-
vention campaign OF Senator Warren
@. Harding, Republican nominee Tor
President, today stamped as without
foundation" reported friction between
him and Republican National Chair
man VIII IA. Hays.
Reports have been in circulation
here for some time that Daughefty
was dissatisfied because he had not
been made Republican National Chair'
man after his successful efforts 10
have Senator Harding nominated
Coupled with the same reports was
one that Daugherty did not ike the
way Senator Harding's campaign was
teing conducted.
DAUGHERTY's STATEMENT.
Daugherty today issued state
ment which was in part;
THE campaign must at all times
be in harmony with the candidate and
the cause.
"As far as the plans of the Repub-
lican party are concerned. they viii
go in an orderly fashion as laid out
from time to time by Chairman Hays
and the committee in conference with
the candidate"
Daugherty also said that without
assuming TO speak for anybody but
himself, neither "bombast' nor per
sona!ities" would be employed in the
conduct OF Senator Harding's cam
paign.
"A campaign OF personalities may
not be expected, nor campaign
which appeals 10 prejudice but rather
a campaign OF dignity-and in har-
mony with the tempe perament of the
cand date and the dignity OF the po'
sition to which he aspircs.'
DEFINES LABOR POSITION.
Through the columns of his news
paper. the Marion Star, Senator Hard
ings labor and agricultural position
was defined as follows:
The 5000 operatives in Marion's in
dustrisl plants have given Harding
enthusiastic support, as have Marion
county farmers.
Harding never said. a dollar a
day Is enough for any working man
or anything that might be so con-
strued nor that a dollar a bushel il
enough for the farmers wheat.

WONDERING IF

by Henry l.. Farrell, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Uncle Sam
has made a bad looking entry on
Jack Dempsey's ledger.
1t is not an irremovable blotch,
however. The indictment against him
charging evasion of the draft, in
way, is just an official suspicion. The
all-important entry of the government
is yet to be made-guilty or not
guilty.
Opinion of many New York boxing
fans was voiced in the words of
Adam Empie, secretary of the army,
navy and civilian board Of boxing con-
troll who said today:
According to Americas code OF
Justice, no man is guilty until he has
been proven guilty"
Sad as the spectacle is, the appear
ance of the greatest fighter in the
world" before United States court
to answer charges of taking back
seat in the worlds biggest fight is
to be welcomed for many reasons. 1t
will bring the controversy into a gov
eminent sanctum where it belongs.
1t will give the champion a fair trial
and a chance to prove his innocence.

lence is to be held sometime during
the latter part of March and a pub
lie demonstration will be given Of
just how this work is to be carried
forward. Fathers of boys, teachers
of boys and all men interested in
the welfare of boys will be given an
opportunity to attend this demOnstra-
