several other friends of the Governor
who have accepted his position
One of the last despairing efforts of
the anti ratihcationists was to bring
out a new candidate against both Gov
ernor Roberts and ALI Taylor, Repub-
lican nominee, for the Governorship.
AS both party leaders are working
ardently for suffrage, it was announced
that Judge Joseph Higgins, president
of the Tennessee Cons titutional League,
an differentiation would run as non
partisan candidate against both. This
was later emphatically denied by Hig-
gins, but is indicative of the strong
pressure being put on the Governor to
force him to- reverse his position.
The telegram from slXty-three anti
ratification members of the North
Carolina House of Representatives now
also considering suffrage ratification,
had an effect decidedly different from
that intended by anti-leaders who
arranged to have it gotten up. Many
legislators resented what they termed

States is at peace fair consideration.
Senator Harding's letter was written
in reply to one asking him TO state his
position on the question of the Russ ian
blockade.
Senator Harding wrote:
Il stand upon the platform adopted
by the Republican National Convention
at Chicago. 1t would be unwise and
unfair in the absence OF the fullest
knowledge of all the facts involved to
give a specific statement on this ques-
ton There has been under this Adj
ministration so much hidden diplomacy
SO much suppression of knowledge con-
corning our international relations. that

Committee on Foreign Relations

readily understand that l must secure
enlightenment before it will be proper
for me to pronounce judgment specif-
cally or to assume a definite position. "

Elect Republican Senate,
Penrose's Campaign Plea
Pennsylvania Leader Sees Hard
ins's Election Assured; Calls
Cox Third-CIass Candidate
Special Dispatch to The Tri5,tn


PHILADELPHIA, Aug 12-In the
first round table conference with news
paper men since his recovery from his
recent illness Senator Penrose yester-
day emphasized the following high
lights in the coming Presidential cam
paign:
First and foremost, that no advantage
will be gained by the Republican party
in electing Senator Harding President
II he is to be ham, trung by a Demo-
cratic Senate
That while no doubt is entertained
of the success of the Standard bearers
on the Republican ticket the impor-
lance OF the Senate situation cannot be
exaggerated, and unless vigorous and
intelligent efforts are directed to in
sure the election OF q Republican
Senate Harding will find his ability
destroyed to make important appoint
ments.
That the present outlook indicates
that the party will more than likely
lose the present sitting Republican
Senators in certain close states While
1t is known that Senator Penrose is
apprehensive over the Senatorial out
come in Ohio
Mr. Penrose said he will remain in
his home here and direct campaign &C
tlwtles and receive visitors there
The Senator said that his advisers
and members of the national COM
mlttee believe that when the weather
becomes cooler Harding will leave the
seclusion of his home in Marion, Ohio
and journey to the more important
ccenters IN the country to discuss the
issues of the campaign.
AS
leader said that Governor Cox was de-
veloping into third class Presidential
candidate and is nearly out of the run
ming.

GREETING CALLED BY D'OLIER
Legion Commander Recalls Sixth An
niversary, of Great Britain's En-
trance Into World War.

On the sixth anniversary of Great
Britain's entrance into the World War
Franklin D'Olier, national commander
of the American Legion, cabled the
following greeting to Field Marshal
Earl Haig and Admiral Sir David
Beatty:
Honor to the statesmen who had
the courage to assume the responsible
ity of that decision. Honor to the
British millions who, with valor I'M
surpassed and hearts of oak. executed
that decision on Britain's many fronts.
When we contemplate what would
have been the state of affairs in the
world today had not Britain acted as
she did and when she did, the trials
and difficulties of the present hour,
however vexatious they may seem now
to be, sink into comparative insignifi-
canoe.
United States forces have had the
privilege of service on land and sea
under British high command. The
memories of the associations of those
great days will never perish. They
will perpetuate themselves In our
hearts and thus serve to perpetuate
the indissoluble friendship of the Brit
ish and American peoples"

NO INTRODUCTION IS NEEDED
"Speak to the Buddy With the But
ton," Slogan Adopted by
Ohio Post.

Speak to the buddy with the but
ton" is the appeal expressed in a
resolution passed by the Franklin
county council of the American Le-
gion in Ohio. This policy has been
adopted by many other posts. The
resolution follows:
Whereas, during our service in the
World War we greeted each other
whenever we met and ate, slept, fought
and shot craps together without in
PRODUCTION; and
Whereas, In civilian life, we are
compelled to remain closer to custom I;
Be it resolved, That the members
OF the American Legion of Franklin
county, o. shall in the future regard
thes American Legion emblem as an
open introduction between wearers of
same, thereby creating a more close
knit and friendly organization.
