 SOLACE FOR DEMOCRATS

Harding of Ohio for the presidency tonight than they were last Saturday was declared by Vice President Thomas R. Marshall on his arrival here tonight to attend the democratic national con vention.
 The vice president added that he was not candidate for the presidency, but on the contrary was about to retire from politics. He declared that the re- publicans were in error if they as- stunned the election of Senator Harding was foregone conclusion. He said that President Wilson did not want a third term. but could be nominated and elect ed for one if he did
 Of Senator Harding's candidacy the vice president said
 The republicans are not so well pleased now as they were on Saturday night. Personally 1 have high regard for Senator Harding. l would do anything Tor him except vote for him. The repub- licans are making the mistake of their lives in thinking of the November cleo tion as foregone conclusion and of the democrats as a disorganized defeated party. They are going to find us very much alive in November"
 MT. Marshall decried lavish expendi- lures of money in connection with pres idential campaigns. It was "dishearten- ing" he said, adding that he regretted the republicans were not the only guilty ones"
 Of the democratic convention and his own part as a delegate in it, the vice president said:
 T am here to promote peace and good will among the democrats at this coming convention" He said so far as the con vention was concerned there is no Irish question" and of prohibition enforcement enforcement he declared:
 Nothing is so detrimental to the coun- try as the passage of laws and the ig- noring of those same laws"
 MT. Marshalrs reference to his retire ment was in answer to a question as to whether he was candidate for the democratic presidential election.
 His answer was:
 T am an old man who has torn his hair for Bryan, shaved for Parker :nd done his hardest for Wilson, and I am aboutsSeady to retire from politics"
