Marshall Not in the
Presidential Race


That the Republican leaders are
less well pleased with the nominal
ton of Senator Warren G. Harding,
of Ohio, for the Presidency yester-
day than they were last Saturday,
was declared by Vice President
Thomas r. Marshall on his arrival
at San Francisco to attend the Dem
ocratic convention.
The vice president added that he
was not a candidate for the Presi-
dency, but was about to retire from
politics. He declared the Republic
cans were in error if they assumed
the election of Senator Harding was
a foregone conclusion and that Pres
ident Wilson did not seek a third
term, but could be nominated and
elected for one if he did.
OF Senator Harding's candidacy
the vice president said:
"The Republicans are not so well
pleased now as they we're on Satur-
day night. Personally, I have high
regard for Senator Harding. / would
do anything for him except vote for
him. The Republicans are making
the mistake of their lives in think
ing of the November election as a
foregone conclusion and of the Dem
ocrats as a disorganized, defeated
party. They are going to find us very
much alive in November"
Mr.. Marshall deeried lavish ex-
penditures of money in connection
with presidential campaigns. 1t was
disheartening, he said, adding that
he regretted the Republicans were
not the only guilty ones"
Of the Democratic convention and
his own part as delegate in it, the
vice president said:
81 am here to promote peace and
good will among the Democrats at
this coming convention"
He said so far as the convention
was concerned, "there is no Irish
question" and of prohibition en-
forcement he declared: Nothing is
so detrimental to the country as the
passage Of laws and the ignoring
of those same laws"

Army's
Final Appeal

On account of weather conditions
the Salvation Army Campaign has
been extended through the month
OF June. On Monday, June 21st,
there will be committee to receive
contributions from those who have
not had an opportunity to give to
this great work. This will be the last
call this year. Every one knows the
great work of the s. A. and by giving
literally on this last appeal Mont
gomery County may be able to come
up with other counties in raising her
quota, the S. A. may be able to do
more effective work by not having
to take their time to pass the TAM
BOURNE collection box, but instead
give their entire time to the Army's
activities. Vice President Marshall
in speaking Of the S. A., says, ~
am for the s. A. The problem Of this
age is to believe that men are mu-
tually helpful to each other and that
men have mutual interest in each
other. Toward the total solution of
it, all religious organization in
America will contribute, but I know
of no organization which will stand
back of men and human kind better
than the Salvation Army"

Cox Boom Swells Due to
Nomination of Harding

The nomination of Governor James
NJ. Cox for President by the Demo-
cratic National Convention, looked on
with favor for several months, has
now become a necessity in the opin-

the legislative and executive expert

ability to give the country a business
administration, qualifications unsur-
passed by any other Democratic can
didate, leading figures in the Demo-
cratic ranks are impressed with the
need for carrying Ohio, a pivotal
State, and "Cox can carry Ohio" is
a slogan.
