MANY STATE EMPLOYEES
SEE JOBS GOING AWAY

Austin, Tex, July 2S.-Failure Of
r E. Thomson, OF FL Paso. to be IN
the run-off in the race for the gov
ernorship Of Texas. proved a sad
disappointment TO quite a large per-
centage Of the attaches OF various
state departments, as the election OF
either Bailey or Neff means virtually
complete change in the personnel
OF the departments, where the heads
Of such departments are appolntive.
Thomson was credited as being the
taVOrIte in administration circles and
his election would more than likely
have perpetuated many officeholders
in office for another four years
As il now is to be either Bailey
or Neft, many are carefully survey
ing the situation TO determine which
one Of the two candidates TO support.
Even to pick out the winner may
avail very little, as Neff IS credited
with having declared that he will
make clean sweep in certain Of the
departments and senator Bailey is
said TO favor abOlshing useless Of
fees in the interest OF economy.
While IL had been generally con-
ceded that senator Bailey would be In
the run-orf, IL was not generally be-
neVed in administration circles that
he would lead the ticket There is
now much speculetion as TO which
one Of the two Candidates-Neff or
Bailey-wiu get the bulk of the
Thomson and Looney votes
The election OF state senator Lon
A. smith OF Henderson. to the office
OF controller viii also mean a change
IN the personnel OF the controllers
department, although Mr.. Wigiaton,
the encumbent has not as yet given
up the contest despite the fact that
ne is still several thousand votes be-
hind on the face OF the returns.

HARDING FAVORS
TREATY REVISE
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
CONTINUED from page II

vationists" and the Lodge reserva-
tlOnists- Senator Harding tried in his
speech Of acceptance TO avoid the de-
[ tails Of program. rather being con-
tent to state a dead policy Of pre-
served nationality on the one hand
, with assured keeping OF the American
/ conscience for ourselves, which, he
] believes, inspired all the opposition
in the senate. and, on the other hand.
TO assure the world of American
readiness TO do our part in promoting
international peace through justice
rather than force"
Really there might be as much en-
barrassment to senator Harding in
coming out fatty for the Lodge reser-
vations as there would be in saying
at this time that no part Of the treaty
Of Versailles could be utilized 10 carry
out the platform pledges OF the Re
publican party which favor "a league
OF nations Of certain principles. The
time may come when the certain saIe-
Europe that The" league OF nations
may satisfy all the requirements set
forth in the platform proposal of "A"
league of nations.
Stand Now Might Prove Awkward.
Senator Harding would find it nee
essary to deal cOncretely with the
treaty of Versailles, as all but four
nations, Russia, Turkey, Mexico and
the United States, are either parties
TO the treaty or members Of the pres
ent league OF nations. To say now
that he would stand on the Lodge
reservations would be to commit him
self to a program OF restrictions on
the power OF a president to conduct
foreign policy which might prove
awkward for even Republican presi-
dent
The original set Of Lodge reser-
vations voted on in November. 1913,
were much less difficult than those
adopted in the following spring In
OF woodrow Wilson some OF the sena-
tors forgot for the moment that
Republican president might some day
be charged with the responsibility Of
foreign policy and would find him
self powerless, especially II congress
were not in session
Now at heart senator Harding
would be found demanding changes
in the league covenant very similar
to those which he voted for in the
senate and he feels strongly that ar
ticle X in its present form can be
eliminated without breaking the
heart Of Europe" Moreover, he
doesn't anticipate serious objection
10 the equalization Of voting power
in the assembly OF the league
VIII Try for Concert Of Nations.
However. details are not being pub
lshed at this time The important
thing IS that Ultimately the treaty OF
Versailles would be the basis TO- ne
gotiations of the understanding and
relationship with Europe TO which
Harding referred in his speech OF ac-
ceptance. II viii be noted also that
governor Coolidge, the Republican
cardidate for vice-president, shows
the way toward the ratification of
the present treaty with proper reser-
Tations- This speech must have been
made with the knowledge and ap-
proval OF the Republican candidate
Tor the presidency.
Senator Johnson's destructive criti-
cism has been Needed. but senator
Harding plainly intends 10 offer z

government has never before so clearly
