public Ledger servfce.)

Jules Jusserand. for eighteen
years French Ambassador to the
United States. will not return to
his post here after his visit to Paris.
for which preparations are now be-
ing made at the French Embassy.
NJ. Jusserand. whose long service in
this country earned him the title
dean of the foreign diplomatic
corps" has become a central figure
in the political storm that has swept
France as a result of the United
States Senate defeating the treaty.
His retirement has been determined
upon as necessary to help quell the
tumuIt. which has not yet subsided.
Officials of the French Embassy
have consistently refused to discuss
the shifting events in France,
brought about by what the average
Frenchman believes to be the studied
Indifference of this country TO the
fate Of her late ally. Only the at
taches of the embassy. and not all
OF them. are aware of the fact that
NJ Jusserand is not to come back to
this country in an official capacity.
1t is understood that the move, when
made, will be in the form of an an
nouncement by the veteran diplomat
that he wishes to be relieved of the
burdens incident to a public career.
LIS 6S Years Old.
NJ. Jusserand celebrated his S5th
birthday anniversary this winter.
The last forty-four years of his life
have been spent in the diplomatic
service and in such meritorious
fashion that not even his bitterest
political enemies can deny him the
right of stepping aside gracefully.
The trend of opinion in France
had its origin in the fate of the
treaty and the league of nations be-
fore the Senate. Leaders in French
politics have made the charge that

With Loggerheads.
FREE FROM RADICALISM
Great Results Expected as
Result of Ticket Chosen
AT Chicago!
By ROBERT T. BARRY.

Chicago, June 13.-If one thought
more than any other dominated the
discussions today by Republican
leaders on the selection of the Hard
ing-Coolidge ticket, 1t was just this:
Has Harding the craftsmanship to
pick the scattered ends of factfonal-
ism and weld them to the main body
of the party organization in such a
manner as to have the finished prod
uct resemble the political structure
that made the Republican party of a
decade ago the party of efficiency?
All of the leaders who worked for
the nomination of Harding natural
ly believe he has. They regard him
as one man fitted for the task. He
represents to them a reversion to
the Mckinley type, fact his sup
porters made much of during the
pre-convention fight. He does not
pose as being anything other than
what he is-a conservative. 1t was
the deliberate design of the party
year as the disciples of conser-
vatism.
Free from Cults and Isms.
They were convinced the Ameri-
can people wanted such a candidate.
They have in Harding, they believe,
a man free from cults and isms. who
could be expected to give the ma
tion an administration of public af-
fairs based on sound principles of
business judgment. of doing, they
are quite sure, that which the busi-
ness interests of the country-the
smallest merchant as well as the
greatest banker-desire at Washing
ton, more OF practical common sense
in the settlement Of public questions
and less of cant and horseplay.
The freedom with which the word
bolt entered into the convention

vative wing of the party that a man

Man of Personality.
They believe he has the person
ality to restore the party to some
thing like it's old prestige, to
mold the factions into a cohesive
whole and to steer a clear course
through such shoals that left the
organizations stranded on many
occasions in the past. They are

Chicago Holds Wake Of

Chicago, June IS. - Chicago is
holding its quadrennial wake of
busted booms tonight. Hardly
enough delegates are left to act as
paIlbearers., Before Senator Hard
ing boarded his special train for
Washington last night there was
noise galore. even though it was
strictly confined to one camp. With
his departure calm settled over the
lithographic landscape as delegates
and convention visitors filtered
through the station gates.
Those who are still here are TAX
ing stock of the happenings the last
twenty-four hours. Few found much
to cheer over. The majority spent
the day bending a listening ear in
the direction of Hiram Johnson's
quarters. Not a few expected big
news but these were disappointed.
They had expected one of two things
"a bolt or acquiescence in the nomi-
nation of Warren G. Harding, but
the California Senator took his time
in satisfying the curious.
Hiram's Congratulations.
1t was not until the forenoon
that a telegram from johnson to
Harding was given out. 1t had
arrived late at Hotel LaSalle, where
Harding had been stopping. 1t ar
rived hours after the Republican
candidate for President had de-
parted East. 1t was supposed to
have been sent last night. At any

missive to reach the hotel, although

Philadelphia, June 13.- Senator
Boies Penrose is recovering rap
idly. From physical standpoint
today was the best day he has spent
since many weeks before the con-

Free from the worry and the Sc

the "Old Guard" leader passed a
day marked with nothing more
straining than numerous kilograms
regarding the nomination of Sena-

his party.
While Leighton c. Taylor, secre-
tary to Mr.. Penrose, refused to-dis-
cuss the nature of the kilograms,
the belief was expressed that they
were principally congratulatory in
character. 1t is known Senator
Harding was the original choice of
Mr.. Penrose. He was silent con-
cerning the nomination of Gov
Coolidge.
Further denial was made of the
rumors circulated Saturday that
