HARDING,S STATEMENT

CHICAGO June 14-Caught at the
hotel to which he rushed from the
Coliseum after his nomination, SEN
ator Harding, before leaving for
Washington, made no formal state
ment but declared he was Every hap
py" and deeply grateful" to his
friends.
The republican nominee showed
plainly his elation when he emerged
from his room with Mrs. Harding
to face battery of cameramen.
Senator Harding later issued the
following statement:
Il am very proud, as any American
should be, of receiving the great hon
or from the republican party. | am
not unmindful of the obligation and
responsibility that go with it.
Harry NJ. Daughtery, national man
ager for Senator Harding, said;
"On behalf of the republicans of
Ohio, and especially on behalf of
Senator Harding, his family and
friends, | desire to express to the
republicans of the country, men and
women, our sincere gratitude for the
confidence expressed in this wonder
full man by nominating him as the
candidate of the party for the pres
idency.
"We entered this campaign with
considerable reluctance, because SEN
ator Harding did not desire to make
a high-powered organization cam
paign for the presidency. Our plan,
as is now well known, was carried out
whereby we conducted rather mod
est campaign and left the election to
the republicans of this country with
out too much pressure.

Those attending the services at
Central Baptist church Sunday said
the services both morning and even

meeting now in progress thare. DR..
Wallace Wear, of Cordele, the preach
er, presented his message, they said,
most happily, and ne seemed inspired
with the transcendency OF his
thoughts, many of his hearers being
exceedingly thrilled. The musical pro-
gram by the three choirs, which arc
assisting in the service, was splendid
and number of conversions marked
the close Of the service. Interest in
the meeting, it is said, continues to
grow with each service, with increas-
ing congregations daily.
Tonight DR.. Wear will present one

self" Tomorrow the text will be "The
New Testament Church," and this
will include the origin, conditions of
membership and its obligations as
sumed. Every church member in Am
erlcus IS urged to be present and hear
these addresses.
DR.. Wear has been a pastor Tor
twenty years, and does not enter into
the sensational evangelistic platform.
He rightly divides his words of truth
so plainly and clearly, it is said, that
the smallest child may understand his
remarks. His vocabulary is very sim
pie, thus rendering his remarks the
more enduring. He is not belligerent
in his remarks concerning other meth
DDS of doctrine aside from his, and
refrains from wounding the feelings
of others This attitude alone has
brought many people to the church.
This is the last week Of the meet
ing, and larger crowds are expected
than during the two preceding
weeks.

COMES BACK AT
G.O.P.PLATFORM
BurIeson Sheds Some
Light on Party
Changes

WASHINGTON. June 14.-Post-
master General BurlesOn has issued
a statement declaring that ''in the
light of the truth, the "arraign-
ment of the postal authorities, by
the Republican party platform adopt
ed at Chicago falls harmless at their
feet.
Replying to the declaration in the
platform that the present admlnlstra-
ton destroyed the efficiency OF the
telephone and telegraph service when
controlled by the government" Mr;
Burleson quotes from statesments OF
+hn late Theodore n. Vail, president
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, President Carlton OF
The Western Union Telegraph Com
many and others to show that the wire
nronerties were successfully admins
tered by the government and return
ed in good condition.
Muir Burleson says the Republican
organization in a tentative draft OF
its platform made a sinister insinua-
tion" that during government control
the wires were used for purposes OF
political patronage and political
espionage" He declared that Of the
four new places created for the WIRE
administration, three were filled with
RprubGcans. and challenges the Re
publican organization to prove there
was 'even an attempt at polltlcal
espionage.
This charge is not made without a
purpose, he declares, adding:
Watch the amount of certain
contribution to the Republican cam
paign fund and it will be disclosed
that certain interest, which hav-
ING failed to control or even influ-
ence a Republican congress by Shiny
falsehoods, because both sides could
be heard, temporarily got in its work
on the great Republican organlza-
ton, where the truth could not be
heard and apparently was not de-
sired"
Taking up the platforms declara-
.ion commencing the Republication
congress for increasing the pay of
postal employees, Mr.. Burleson said
that instead of adopting his plan
(which would have resulted in an IN
crease Of salaries of postotfice CLERKS
and city letter carriers to maximum
basis Of $2,062 yearly, and like in
creases to those in other lines of pos
tai activity" congress granted "a
horizontal increase, which gives some
an increase not deserved and denies
to thousands of faithful and eff
cient employees increases commensu-
rate with their work and to which
they are fairly entitled" ."
Referring to the statement in the
proposed first platform plank made
public at Chicago that the Republi-
can congress reduced postage costs,
Mr.. Burleson says the congress not
only did not make any such reduc-
ton, but failed to take favorable
action on his recommendation that
postage on drop or city letters be
made one cent instead of two "after
an acknowledgement that it should
be done"

No Conclusion On
immigration Question
Continued from page i

ese have never been a colonizing
people; that they came first to the
United States at the solicitation of
American employers; that. left to
themselves, there probably would not
have been an emigration in anything
like the numbers that have come to
America.
The japanese assert that they are
moved by The highest spirit to COM
Fly IN every possible way with the
wishes Cf the American people; that
they are restricting further emigra-
ton of their people to our shores /;
but that the passage of the proposed
California legislation would be a bit
ter national discourtesy to them. And
they resent that their government
should be asked to deal with a state
government. They display complete
willingness to discuss and comply
with any reasonable proposal made
by our federal government, but any
thing less than such a procedure is an
irdignity, and an injury to their ma
tional pride.
Hopes for Sound Opinion.
Obviously, the conference could
reach no conclusion in this immigra.
ton question. The japanese feel
that the appointment of some sort
of joint high commission to deal
with this question would offer the
greatest hopes for a mutually salts
factory solution. The American
guests endeavored to learn the Jap
anese point of view in the matter,
and hope that by laying the true sit
uation before the American public
when occasion offers that a sound,
intelligent public opinion on this sub
ject of international irritation will be
formed.
Many of the japanese leaders feel
that America has been so self-cen-
tered in its own development that it
has found little time for matter
such as the Japanese question in
California, where the local situation
has become so acute that really seri-
Gus national discourtesies may result
without a general American public
opinion either sanctioning or disap-
proving it. Whatever the ultimate
solution may be, we in America can
not escape our responsibility to meet
the Japanese in the same spirit, and
desire for open minded discussion
with which they invite US to help
their future course of action.

A DEFINITE SPLIT IN THE
 SOCIALIST PARTY OF FRANCE

Tours, France, Dec. 30.-(By The A. P) The spit in the socialist party of France took definite shape this after noon when the centrists led by Jean Longuet and Paul Faure, met in joint
 session with the leaders constituting the
 majority of the socialist members of the
 chamber of deputies. The two groups
 concluded that inasmuch as a majority
 of the socialist congress yesterday had
 voted in favor of adhesion to the third
 internaticnale. and thereby became the communist party of France The right and centrist parties were now officially the socialist party of France. The majority party finished it's work today and adjourned. The right and center faction probably will complete
 their labors tomorrow
 In a manifesto to be issued to the world, the new socialist parry will de- clare itself as being clear cut socialists l dedicated to class struggle and the real 1 ization of socialist commonwealth and against participation in all bourgeoisie l ministries.
 The socialists have decided to attend l the congress in Vienna February g, | which has been called by the German in- l dependent socialists, the independent la l bor party of Great Britain and the Swiss l socialists. They also have decided to de- 1 fend with all our strength the Rus sian revolution.
 i M. Longuet today described the fusion 1 of the right and center socialists as a | movement to- build "a temporary shelter until the opison gas in the old home is dissipated"
 Then" he added, i've hope to be one family again"
 The old executive committee will con tinue to act for the right and center.

Eastman's citizen ship. forfeited by his conviction Of crime years ago, was restored by Governor Smith upon his return. from France.
 The funeral rites were simple. His soldier comrades of the 27th division were there to honor him as one "regenerated in the war. They escorted the body to the cemetery to the sound Of mulhed drums. where last honoEs were paid by a firing squad at the grave and a buglers s notes of Taps"
