He glanced at his wife, sent heeting

Special to The Times.

Special to The Times.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 16.-The
following statement was given to the
press this afternoon by Marshall stim-
son OF Los Angeles.
"As a progressive Republican I had
hoped to vote for the Republican can
didate fer President.
while neither the platform nor tie
candidate chosen were satisfactory to me,
intended TO vote the ticket and work
for better party conditions four years
later.
"The position taken by Senator Hard
ing in his Des Moines speech makes
1t impossible for me to support him any
longer.
After long continued wiggling and
wobbling. forced by the threats of the
bitter-enders he declares himself against
the League Of Nations and the treaty
perforce for a separate peace with Ger
many.
"such a course OF action means break
ing faith with our allies and an sban-
donment OF war aims.
up to the time of the armistice our
wonderful response to the call OF duty
flled every American with pride.
"S.nce then our incapacity for action
has been cause for shame
"That failure must be charged to the
narrow partisan jealousy Of a group Of
senator's and their influence over Harding
is proved by his Des Moines speech.
~ approved his early statements that
he would seek advice and consultation
on matters Of public policy and I did
not consider that evidence Of weakness.
FEARS WRONG MEN
WILL CONTROL HIM.
Now. when we find him yielding to
bullying and threats instead of accept

HECKLER is THROWN OUT

Senator Warren C. Farding "un-
scrapped" the League of Nations and
faced about from the position of turn
ing his back" on the treaty taken In
his speech at Des Moines, Iowa, oct. Z
In an attempt TO place peg upon the
G. o. p. hall tree upon which pro-league
Republicans may hang their hats In an
address before huge crowd at Tomlin-
son Hall last night.
1t was more than evident that Indl-
ana, being considered a pro-league State,
the Senator elected to side with Elihu
Root, Herbert Hoover, FIX President Taft
and other pro-league Republicans rather
than the irreconcniable group.
To this latter group his Des Dolnes
speech was in the nature Of a sop and
his indianapolis speech was to check the
decided drift to Governor Cox, which has
been noticeable In the State ever since the
Iowa league -scrapping" outburst.

PLANS FOR NEW
PUBLIC MARKET
GO GLIMMERING
Board of Public Works Unable
to Find Barn for City
Mule Teams.

People Of the south side who have tried
for years TO rid their neighborhood Of
the street cleaning and ash hauling
barns at 1134 South Shelby street and
who thought that the city ordinance es-
tablishing a municipal market therein
finally would accomplish this end on
Jan. 1, are doomed to disappointment,
according TO statement OF George
Lemaux, president Of the board Of pub
lie works.
In order to get the 100 street cleaning
mules and equipment out OF the Shelby
, street barns IT is necessary to obtain
some other place to house them.
This is the duty Of the board OF pub
lie works.
Mr. Lemaux in response TO a question
as to whether the barns would be
cleared for the establishment Of the mar
ket on Jan. 1, stated that so far he
knows they will not
CAN'T FIND PLACE

There isn't any available place in
the city large enough" he said.
The only feasible new home for the
animals and apparatus is at the pro-
posed city yards, which the Jewett ad-
ministration has been promising to build
at Kentucky avenue and Drover street
for almost three years.
It will be impossible, Mr.. Lemaux said
to have the street cleaning barn, the first
unit of the municipal yard. constructed
before next summer even under the most
favorable conditions.
Until that time, he indicated, the mules
and equipment will stay where they
are.
