HARDING WILL LEAVE
ON HIS TEXAS TRIP
SATURDAY MORNING

Marion, O., Nov. 4.-With only
two days remaining before he leaves
Marion for a months vacation trip,
President elect Harding went to
work today clearing up his desk of
the final leftover details of his CAM
paign.
With Mrs. Harding he will start
at 1880 Saturday morning for Point
Isabel, Texas, where he will spend
IL days hunting and fishing prior to

nj zone. He plans to be back in Ma
rion December 6, and after that may
20 to some gulf coast resort for a
winter to be spent in choosing his
cabinet and formulating the policies
of his administration.
Except for an engagement made
several months ago, to speak on
December S, in Bedford, Va, at an
Elks Memorial service, Mr.. Harding
has no appointments for public
speeches between now and inaugu-
ration. He may make short talks
from his train along the way south,
however, and may also deliver one
or two addresses on particular sub
jects' before March 4.
Tonight Marion is to celebrate
formally his election to the Presi-
dency, and several hundred people
from other cities are expected to
join in the occasion. There will be
all the noise and red fire that his
loyal neighbors and friends can pro-
duce, and many special features to
give the Harding front porch and
lawn one final bautism of campaign
glory.

"This does not mean that the vets
will quit fighting or that the drys
can afford to relax their activities.
The next thing on the program is
the passage of effective state en-
forcement."

NO HALT TO COME
IN NEGOTIATIONS
Conference With Japanese Ambassa.
dor Go On-Vote In California.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Adoption by
the California electorate yesterday of
the referendum measure restricting
the right of aliens to lease or hold
real property in that state will not
affect, it was learned today, the con-
tinuance of negotiations here be-
tween the Japanese ambassador and
the state department as to the status
of japanese in California and the
general subject of Japanese immigra-
ton. The heavy majority in favor
of the restricting measure, it was
said, had been fully discounted in
advance and negotiations have made
such progress that should a treaty re-
suit it may reach the senate during
the winter session.
The temporary absence from Wash
ington of Ambassador Morris, who
has been conducting for the state de-
partment the discussions with Am
bassador Shidehara, it was said, had
only partially delayed negotiations.
They will be resumed fully on the
return of Mr.. Morris this week. The
Japanese ambassador conferred today
with Secretary Colby but no state
ment as to the purpose of his visit
was given out.
The discussion between the two
ambassadors is understood to have
progressed so it will be possible soon
for the plan which they have in mlnd
to be reduced to form for presenta,
ton to Secretary Colby and next to

the constitution of the United States
and the ten commandments for a

Bryan concluded his statement by
voicing the belief that the result of
the election was not a vote of conf
dence for the Republican Party but a
refutation and a "protest" against
Democratic leadership.
"The vote against the Democratic
Party" Bryan said, "was cast weeks
ago. 1t was merely bsbulated Tues
day."

"HARD TIMES DONE
COME AGAIN"

New York Times.
If it weren't that he gets fresh
batch of passengers every run, the
Pullman porter's trust in human ma
ture would have gone since the in
creased fares have come in.
For the public has tightened up
on this. The crowds in the Pullman
cars have not decreased, but the
public is taking it out on the porter.
I speak on no less authority than
that of IL Pullman porters gathered
together in the New York Pullman
Porters' club, where porters in civil
ian clothes sit about between runs
on upholstered screw base chairs
salvaged from 1901 parlor cars,
reading the morning papers salvaged
from the passengers Of the night be-
fore.
"Them that was accustomed to so
cents had dropped to two bits, and
them that uster hand out two bits
has the nerve to hand out Is cents
an a dime. So they bewail the pass
ing of the old order. If it weren't
for travelling salesmen-and others
who travel by grace and the expense
account-the Pullman porters don't
really see how they'd meet >the
slump in the tip market. The STAN
dard nationwide expense account Of
25 cents each Pullman night, they
tell me, is the backbone of their
business.

"JOHNNY" WEEKS
DIES IN GERMANY
Charleston Grieved By The Death
OF Athlete-Victim of Football

Charleston, Nov. 4.-News re-
ceived today by cablegram from Co.
blenz, Germany, of the death last
night of Capt. John L. Weeks, af-
fectionately known as Johnny
Weeks, brought sorrow to this city
and will be learned of with deep re-
gret by thousands of this state who
knew and admired him. His father
was apprised of his death this morn
ing. Captain Weeks succumbed to
injuries received in a football game
played Sunday, at Coblenz. Details
of his injuries were not given in the
cable, but will be sent by letter.
Captain Weeks was one of the most
brilliant athletes ever playing for
the Citadel, and for four years was
prominent in football, basket ball
and baseball of this state. He was
senior cadet captain when ne was
graduated in 1917, and soon after
obtained a commission in the regu-
lar army as second lieutenant. Sent
to Europe, he was on the firing line
for six months and it was his COM
pany, Seventh machine gun bat
talon, that won renown in defend
ing a bridge at Chateau-Thierry. He
was promoted to first lieutenant and
captain during the war, and after
peace was declared, served with the
A. E. F. in Germany. He played a
good deal of football in the army as
quarterback, and won high standing
in gridiron circles. Captain Weeks
was rs years of age, the eldest OF
seven children. His parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. J. Weeks, three sisters and
three brothers, survive him. The
news of his death came as a shock to
friends here and especially at the
Citadel.

PUT HARDING IN
OFFICE AT ONCE
Says Wilson Should Quit, Marshall
Go in, Name Harding as Secre-
tary, Then Resign.

Chicago, Nov. a. 4.-President-elect
Warren G. Harding should become
President as soon as possible, Presi-
dent Wilson's resignation and Hard
ing's appointment as Secretary of
State by Vice President Marshall, fol-
lowed by Marshall's resignation in
turn, should accomplish this, accord
ing to a statement made here Thurs
day by William Jennings Bryan.
"Mr. Wilson should resign at once"
Bryan said. "Then Mr.. Marshall, as
soon as Congress convenes, should
name Mr.. Harding Secretary of State
and himself resign so that Mr.. Hard
ing may become President at the
earliest possible moment, and carry
through a definite plan of peace"
Bryan was to speak in Oak Park
Thursday evening.
Party Not Blamed.
Declaring the Republican landslide
just accomplished "was not a result
of Democratic, but of Wilson poll
cies," the Commoner said President
Wilson can not afford to delay the
restoration of peace.
"Mr. Harding" Bryan said, "can
not refuse to assume the duties at
once to which the American people
have called him by an unprecedented
majority"
Bryan declared he knew nothing of
proposed meeting to reorganize
the Democratic Party, but said he
believed such reorganization would
follow naturally from "this unprece-
dented defeat"

to 20 into the fight under false ban

Blames Vets, Too.
"The convention at San Francisco"
he said, "did not represent the rank

lulled to sleep by the assurances that
the liquor question was dead and
while they slept the vets were busy
sowing tares. The result of the cam
paign ought to make it certain that

BALK AT RECESS

While the debate was in progress an attempt was made to get an agreement for a recess for dinner as soon as the platform had been voted on. The Mo Adoo people were inclined not to agree to it.
 The Irish argument concluded. Mir. Lyons took the platform to argue for his plank on soldier relief.
 It provided for appointment of a commission to study the question of flair and just compensation" for ex- service men.
 He said the plank lost out in commit tee by majority of one, twenty-six supporting it and twenty-seven oppos- ing it.
 'Tt is said,' the speaker continued, "that it will take a lot of money out of the treasury. But we are not asking for one cent except for the expenses of this commission and then if it is de- cided that compensation ought not to be paid, that question can be decfded when it comes up.
 He said it was not proposed to settle the debt to the war veterans by money payment. but that this plank only would give hearing to those who might be in need because of their war sacrifices.

setts, who had led the unavailing fight for the Irish plank in committee, took the stand to conclude the argument for it's adoption by the convention.
 "Circumstances connected with the fight of the Irish people for freedom" he told the convention, require that there be something more than mere expression of sympathy. No word spoken during the war so thrilled the oppressed people of the world as the statement that America was in the war to apply the princiI>s of self-deter- mination.
 "Is there aprinciple of self-de- termination? If there is, where on the face of Gods earth should that prin- ciple be applied if not in Ireland, where we find the only English speaking peo pie in all the world that is fighting for 8 government of their own?'
 The firlt and most. important step in that direction, he declared. long since had been taken when the Irish people, by every possible means, had informed Great Britain and the world what their desire was, and how over whelminG was the sentiment support ing Irish independence.
