CLAIMS HARDING
FAVORS IRELAND
Walsh Says Nominee Wrote Letter
of Sympathetic Feeling

= Kansas City, June 24.-Frank P.
Walsh, former chairman of the Fed
eral Industrial Relations Commission
tonight made public what he said was
copy of a letter Senator Warren G.
Harding, Republican Presidential
nominee wrote to him, in which the
Senator expressed "a very sympathet-
ic feeling for the movement to bring
about the independence OF Ireland"
Senator Harding's letter, Ias given out
by Mr.. Walsh, dated March "a, last,
reads as follows:
81 have very strong conviction
myself of the very great part played
by the Americans of Irish birth and
ancestry in the winning of independ-
ence and the making of our own great
United States. More than that, I have
a very great sympathetic feeling for
the movement to bring about the in
dependence of Ireland and the estab-
lishment of Irish nationality which is
the national inspiration of every lib,
erty-loving people.
81 must confess I did not think
we'll of the insincere demonstration
in the Senate recently in handling the
reservations of the league OF nations
treaty. The insincerity OF 1t was
made manifest when sixteen Senators
who pressed the Irish reservation re-
fused to vote for the treaty after it
was incorporated. I had the satisfac--
ton myself of casting a favorable
vote after the incorporation was
made" . " .<
Mr.. Walsh also made public a let
ter to Senator Harding asking the
Senator to correct the erroneous
impression which may have been
created by. the qualified denial Of

10 secure funds for the purpose OF
purchasing books

a. Ottenheimer tag day was held and
a large sum or money was contributed.
The ladies solicited funds until the
latter part Of 1909. when a committee
went before the city council and petit
toned that body to pass an ordinance
to make a levy for a library main
tainance The council unanimously
voted TO levy one mill on the dollar

tion to these corporations and
stand for repeal of the law.
The democrats will be doing
the party q service if they will
recover at once from their
"alarm" over Coy. Roberts, and
put themselves to work honestly
and faithfully to see that he is
renominated and reelected.
This ia q bad time to be ''swapp-

at least done something looking
to the welfare and prosperity. Of
the state, and he has done it, it
appears from the expression of
alarm, at his peril. That is mote
than any other governor had
done since John I. Cox, all others
having played politics with a
view to future preferment.

Editorial from Chattanooga Times,
February Is. 1920
Gubernatorial Candidates
We get this information from
Knoxville: $50 alarmingly do
many Of the democratic leaders
Of Tennessee view the political
situation this year that there are
rumors, particularly in Middle
and West Tennessee, Of move
ments to bring out a stronger
candidate to head the state;
ticket than Gov. Roberts appears
to be-" Of course this informa-
tion is valuable as far as it goes,
but itdoes not appear to get very
far. Why are some leaders a.
Harmed and where is the man and
the platform stronger than Gov.
Roberts and his record.
We have heard that there was
some disposition to criticise the
governor on account of the new,
revenue measures, especially the
assessment laws which are de-
signed to re-establish the states
credit, relieve the burden of
taxation ON such as are entitled
to relief and to remove the scan
dial no self-respecting people
should be willing to rest under
of witnessing flagitious and
willful violation of law every
two years in the makeup of tax
duplicates throughout the state.
Gov. Ronerts is entitled to the
grateful support of the people
for that he has made and is still
making an honest attempt to re-
form the tax system and put on
a fair ami equitable basis that
will, while netting the state
enough revenues to meet its OBJ
legations, at the same time, COM
pei those who have been escap-
ing their just proportion Of the
burdens of taxation to pay ac-
cording to their holdings and the
value of them. If this is all the
''leaders are alarmed" over,
they may be sure any candidate
whom they might put up to op-
pose that policy would be defeat
ed, provided the republican had
the courage to adopt q progress
i've platform pledging specific
performance, and put a decent
and reliable business nan on it.
Gov. Roberts is entitled to
renomination, because he has
stood like q man to all his pledg-
es and promises. There were
things in his platform The
Chattanooga Times did not like,
but the republicans offered
nothing better, and they are not
going to offer anything better
this time. The 9 is no sound rea-
son for any opposition to Gov.
Roberts for anything he has done,
fer he has done nothing that he
did not warn us he was going to
do unless, perhaps, there may be
complaint because of the en-
largement of the powers Of the
railroad commission and the
robbery of the cities of their
right to control their own utili-
ties. Gov. Roberts, however,
is not. responsible for that: even
if he had voted for it, it would
have passed over his protest, for
the utilities corporations Of the
state had seen to il that q suffi.
