Chicago, June l4.-Deelaration by
Amos Pinchot, member of the commit

be new party presidential candidate
in the field; rumors that Senator La
Folledke would head a ticket as presi-
Dental candidate; and announcement
that the campaign in behalf Of Senator
Warren G. Harding, the Republican
presidential nominee, would be started
promptly, were the outstanding de
vclopments, following the Republican
convention.
The statement by Mr.. Pincliot de.
clared that the Republican party has
driven out of representation in its eoun
ellis the millions of voters who followed
Roosevelt. johnson and LaFollette."
and that the new party will represent
these voters and present definite and
constructive program"
Reports concerning Senator LaFol-
letters possible candidacy fwere less
clearly defined and in some instances
were linked with declarations made in
behalf of the committee of 4s.
Harry NJ. Daughtery, pre.convention
manager for Senator Harding, began
preparations for the presidential nomi-
nee's campaign by requesting the ma
tional committee to take prompt,
snappy and energetic action" in placing
the merits of the Republican issues be
fore the voters of the country. Party
managers, it was said, would start the
campaign soon after the Democratic
convention is held and wait until Sen.
ator Harding and Governor Coolidge
are officially notified of their nomi-
nation.

SERVE MILK IN GRANITE PLANT
Innovation to Be Tried Out II Glys-

How would you like to stop work in

is TO happen at the granite manufac-
turing plant OF +. c. Glysson Go. Inc,

tesy ~ exMayor f. c. Glysson, ar
rangements have been made with a
local milk dealer to deliver milk at the
shed in pint bottles where il will he
kept on ice 1t has been established
without a donbt that milk forms the
best balanced food ration one can take
into the body. Treatment at q sansto-
rum consists largely of milk because
il is builder OF tissue and stores up
resistance against disease.
Mr. Glyssun has taken into consider
alton the carly hour at which granite
cutters must rise and breakfast and
feels that during the forenoon in the
midst of strenuous toll a refreshing
drink of milk will not only satisfy
possible thirst. but also provide the

PERSIA'S APPEAL FIRST

London, June l4.-Persia's appeal for
protection against Russian bolsheyik
aggression was expected to be one of
the first subjects discussed by the coun-
ell of the league of nations at the open
ing of its executive session in st. James
palace late this afternoon. The sessions
will continue for two days, with the
probability that the bare outlines of
the conclusions reached will be an
nounced on Wednesday. In view of the
hands-off policy of the council with
regard to the Polish offensive, some
observers of the trend of affairs feel
that the Persian situation raises
problem almost impossible for the eoun-
ell, as now constituted, to solve.
