those in charge Of the staging of the

vice men of Wayne county.

the world from wars among nations.

sion of activities of the greatest war
of all history. and therefore the COM
mencement Of what we most earnestly
hope and deyOutly pray may be per-
iod Of peace never again to be broken
by clash of arms. Earlham college

ated by numerous residents of the city

MACHINE MUST Be
BUILT BY HARDING

MARION, O., Nov. 3-Aside from the
ordinary work of assembling the per-
sonnet of new administrative ma
chine President-elect Harding has be-
fore him the task of bringing together
a council of leading statesmen to map
out a plan for an association Of ma
tons This he has promised to do as
soon as possible after his election,
and it is understood he will not wait
until he has been inaugurated to lay
the foundations for the work.
Mixed with the senator's congratu-
latory messages today were several
fore-handed requests for seats at the
Inauguration ceremonies in Washing
ton next March. The honor of having
made the first application of that sort
falls, however, to George NJ. Cook, of
Chicago, an official of Swift and Co,
who telegraphed in two weeks ago to
George B. Christian, Jr., the senator's
secretary, asking for two inauguration
seats Mr. Christian wired back that
the seats could be regarded as al
ready reserved.
In Texas President-elect and Mrs.
Harding will be the guests OF F. Z.
Schobey, who was leader in the
Harding preconvention campaign and

personal friend for several years, and
is expected to be his COMPANION in his
hunting and fishing expeditions.

the Harding pre-convention manager,
Las been invited by Mr.. Harding to go
along on the southern trip, but he s3Fd
today he was not certain his perSd1aaf
affairs would permit it. N
Both Mr.. Schobey and Mr.. Dargher-
ty were in the circle gatheyed about

CAMPAIGN GOSSIP
PICKS PROSPECTIVE
CABINET OFFICIALS
(RY Associated Press)

MARION, O., Nov. 3-Although
nothing authoritative has come from
MIR. Harding or any Of his close ad-
visers as to the probable cabinet Sc
lections of the new administration,
campaign gossip as 1t has been related
by callers at Harding headquarters
and by local leaders entertained
aboard the Harding campaign train
has included repeated mention OF sew
eral prominent Republicans for caol-
net positions.
In this current of unofficial and
purely speculative talk two names
heard with great frequency are those
of Harry NJ. Daugherty and John W..
Weeks of Massachusetts. Througnout
the campaign Mr.. Daugherty has peen
more closely associated with MT.
Harding than any other party mana
ger, making many trips mere ana TAX
ing a large part in the formulatlon Oh
the nominees campaign strategy.
This close contact, together with the
senator's oft-repeated praise OF Mr'
Daugherty's services, has led to CUES
ses on the many quarters that the lat

Weeks is in Line
A former senator, Mr. Weeks, also
had been a member of the Republican
campaign executive committee during
the campaign just closed. He is
graduate of the naval academy and
former member of the senate naval
committee, a circumstance which has
linked his name in the undercurrent

HARDING SKATERS
ancient TRADITION

The election of Warren G.. Harding.
United States senator from Ohio, to
the presidency Of the United States
shattered a tradition of American
politics that no sitting senator could
be elevated to the White House.
While numerous senators of the Unit
ed States became president, none ever
was elected while a member of the
senate. Andrew Jackson was defeated
for the presidency while a senator
from Tennessee in 1924. Lewis Cass,
senator from Michigan in 1S48, was
defeated for the presidency by Zach
airy Taylor. Stephen A. Douglass,
while United States senator from H.
linois, was defeated for the presi-
dency by Abraham Lincoln in 1860
Among senators who became presi-
dent, but not while members of the
senate, We're Andrew Jackson, John
Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren,,
John Tyler, William Henry Harrison,
Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan and
Andrew Johnson. Others famed in
senate history who aspired to the
presidency, but not while serving as
members of the senate, were Heny
Clay, Horatio Seymour and James G..
Blaine.
