FIGHT IN SIGHT
FOR PRESIDENCY
Frank Walsh or Bob La

Head a Third Ticket
Which Will Be Put in Field

Especial Correspondence to The Journal) /
New York, June 20.-That "a
three-cornered fight for the lpres-
ldency is now assured as the result
of the outcome of the Chicago con-
vention, was asserted today by lead
ing progressives who, have just re-
turned to this city from the re-
publican ringside to perfect plans
for framing a ticket that will draw
Independent voters throughout the
country. Headed by Frsnk Walsh
or Bob Lafollette, and combining
every radical element OF labor and
the farming organizations, the new
party is soon to perfect organiza-
ton in every state in the union and
run real campaign against the
tickets of both old machines. If
this novel movement succeeds in
catching the support of the more
progressive republicans. disgruntlad
over the steam-roller methods at
Chicago, it is predicted that it may
be a formidable factor in aiding
democratic victory.
Price Pressure.
Following the first break in the
high cost of living that resulted
from the cooperative campaign of
the department of justice and the
merchants, the pressure of lower
prices in all the stores here has
now not only continued but has be-
come stronger and steadier. With
the women buyers finally educated
to look for lower costs and high
er values, the stOrekeepers of this
town have found it good policy to
meet them more than half way, and
mark down tags are growing to be
the rule rather than the exception.
Before fall, it is expected by the
attorney generals experts that
much lower level of costs will glad
den the housewives heart.
Heading Harding.
Bent upon picking a candidate
who must overshadow Harding in
the executive experience and ability
demanded by the country in this
crucial hour, leaders among the
democrats are now comforting here
before starting to San Francisco.
AS the two men who have records
of large executive performance and
capacity, Mitchell Palmer and Nc
Adoo are being chiefly considered,
though it is not believed that there
is a possibility of McAdoo making
the run. That the American peo-
pie prefer someone who has moved
nightly in running the government
behind the war to someone who has
simply sat in the soft seat of a sem
ator, is believed by all the demo-
cratic heads.

Clothing Change.
Ducking the weight of wooden
by poisoning out in all
sorts of flimsy wash clothes, the
people of this town are now arm

hot spells that are already opening
