\HARDING NOT CLUB WiELDER.
Tells Militant Suffrasists He Doe'
Not Control Governors.

Tells Militant Suffragists He Does
Not Control Governors.
Washington, June ga bevy OF
militant suffragists representing
fifteen states swept down upon Sem
ator Harding yesterday and demand
ed that he use his influence as re-
publican presidential nominee to force
enfranchisement Of women in time to
permit their voting thruout the ma
ton in the November election.
They demanded that the senator
call upon the republican governors or
Connecticut and Vermont to summon
special sessions of the legislatures to
ratify the suffrage amendment. They
tcld him the legislatures OF these two
states are favorable to the amend
ment: and that IN special sessions
were called at once the suffrage
amndment can be made effective In
time for the November election.
Senator Harding told the women
he didn't want to use his position as
"a club to compel action by any state
authority.
After beckling him the euffragists
left his office muttering threats and
promising TO make life UNPLEASANT for
him until he bows to their will.
There was Just hint that power
full influences are at work to bring
about ratification and eliminate the
suffrage question from the cam
paign. Senator Harding said signi-
ficantly that If any governor should
ask his advice about suffrage, he
would urge ratification. Later he In
timated that he might have good
news" for the women at an early date,
but he declined to go into particulars
on this point.
In his reply to the suffrage spokes-
men Senator Harding said: II need
not tell you of my interest In the
consdmation OF the woman's suffrage.
II voted for It in the senate, and a
vote shows a senator's purpose quite
as faithfully as anything he may do.
Nothing would please me more
than to have ratification made <ef-
fective to give American womanhood
full participation in the elections Of
next November. This desire. sincerely
spoken. does not conflict with my de-
termination that I could not, with
propriety attempt to force any state
executive to hasten action in viola
tion of his own sense of duty. There
is a point at which full executive
authority may approach trespass
on the rights Of states. and l should
not want to trespass II bore the
commission Of authority, and realize
full well that. so far, I am only a
party nominee.
"In the latter capacity. would
not wish my party to believe me in
clined to ttrespass or to assume to
WELD club.
IF any state executive should ask
my opinion about extraordinary ef-
forts to consummate suffrage, frank
ly will commend the thing you desire,
but cannot impose or. demand, tho
personally hope to see woman's
suffrage and woman's full participa-
ton established at any early day."
The national women's party issued
a statement after the conference ex-
pressing complete disappointment
with Senator Hardjng's position" and
declaring. until he recognizes his
responsibility and acts effectively
upon 1t we shall not be content"

Bryan Nav Boost CLARK,

Washington, June %. - William
Jennings Bryan is planning coup
for Champ Clark when the psyche

This interesting and une1pecte.
turn in the democratic political sit
uation is strongly indicted in some
highly significant developments OF
the last few days.
Those on the inside Of the move
are extremely reticent about dis
cussing what actually has trans
pired. They admit, however, that 1t
would not surprise them to see
Bryan reverse his action of 1912
when he swung the tide against
Clark, after he had received a ma
jority Of the votes in the Baltimore
convention.
Bryan now is reported to be an
xious to undo the damage he did to
the Missourian eight years ago. and
is expected to use all his power to
bring about the nomination of Clark,
eff an understanding on a few things
can be reached"
This much is known; mutual
friends of Bryan apd Clark have
made overtures to the latter to see II
his attitude on the outstanding Is
sues is such that Bryan could con-
sistently back him. One report-pret-
ty well substantiated-is that an
"emissary" from Bryan has taken up
the matter with Clark.

hight IN committee over prohibition
and perhaps some other subjects has
ied TO a movement to go ahead with
oalioting while the committee sits,
Inc usual order is to dispose of the
platform first, however and the gem
eral feeling seemed to be that custom
would be followed,
Such talk as there was today re-
Sarding candidates seemed to
strengthen the prospects of a dead
lock for several ballots. Some of
those in the inner circle Of plans said
II was hard to conceive how the two
thirds necessary to nominate could
be brought into one column for two
or three roll calls at least, and they
pointed out that If two or three can
didates divided the bulk of the vot-
ing strength among them, favorite
sons and dark horses would be en-
couraged to prolong the deadlock by
holding to their balance of power.
MeAdoo Still a Factor.
In the generally accepted view. the
withdrawal Of William G.. McAdoo
will operate to make deadlock more
likely by distributing more or less
widely the strength which has been
lined up behind him. Some thought,
however, that conhiderable follow,
ing, would vote for him despite his
public withdrawal while the most
enthusiastic Of the McAdoo support
ers were still predicting that he
Would be the nominee.
Party leaders here for the opening

tion, opening next Monday. predicted
today that the fight over the wet and
dry issue would wear itself out in tho
very face OF the clashing elements in

Mr.. Burleson said he was in favor
OF modifying the drastic and absurd
provision" of the Volstead prohibition

graph and telephone lines, and that
ne was against measures denying
labor the right to strike.
The convention must come out op-
enly and declare ''our real feeling and
belief on prohibition, government
ownership, labor Questions, soldier
bonus, and, most important Of all, the
covenant of the league Of nations"
The postmaster general declared he
would vote for repeal Of the volstead

provisions are so foolish they defeat
their own purpose" he said.

the impossible. But the rediculous
and unnecessary restrictions can be

EMPLOYEES DELAY AWARD.
Labor Board Says Time Is Occupied
Hearing Complaints.

Chicago, June 23.-President Will
sons message urging that the rail-
way wage board give an immediate
decision in the wage controversy has
board announced here this afternoon.
The railway labor boards decision
revising wages of all railroad en-
ployes probably will hn banded down
within two weeks, it was indicated.
Judge R. NJ. Barton, chairman of
the board, ;vid the impatience of
railroad men to get decision was
,nly delaying the case. He declared
the boards deliberations were being
interrupted scores of times daily by
delegations Of railroad men asking
that date for the decision be set. AS
many as 300 callers have been re-
ceived in single day, he said.
Tho boards publicity department
declared that the delay In reaching
a decision had nothing to do with the
present railroad strikes, and that the
board believes the strikes Would con-
tinue even after the wage case is
settled.
Fiqht Between Unions.
The strikes, 1t was said. are
prompted by an internal fight for
control Of the railway unions and not
primarily by dissatisfaction with
wages. The wage question has been
rejected, it was intimated, to deceive
the public. The labor board declined
to consider the plans OF the strikers.
The railroads announced that the
mems places were vacant and that
they had lost all seniority rights, and
the brotherhoods are supporting the
railroads and the labor board in their
stand.
The strikers, however, have notified
the labor board and President Wilson
that they will accept no decision
which does not include the restora-
ton of the privileges with full SEN
iority rights.
officials of the fifteen railroad
uhions are to meet here Friday for
consultation and to learn If possible
when the board will decide the wage
case.

IDEAL LEADER

Eliminates Several .Candi-

Question.

and Against Wall Street to BE
Available.
By Associated Press.

Lincoln, June Discussing pos
sible democratic candidates for the
presidency. w. J. Bryan. in an
article In his newspaper, the Com
moner, published here, declared that
former Secretary Of the Treasury
William G. McAdoo is handicapped
as a candidate ''by his close re-
lationship with the president" while
President Wilson himself, he says,
need not be considered"
Asserting that Mr. McAdoo is also
handicapped by "his silence on the
peace treaty." Mr.. Bryan declared
Mr.. McAdoo Is unable to call to his
support those to whom the presi-
dents candidacy appealed with
special force" and that he would
furnish an easy mark for all the
presidents enemies"
The article says, however, that Mr..
McAdoo has considerable strength
among wage earners.
Referring to President Wilson, Mr..
Bryan says that while vague nints
and suggestions have been thrown
out occasionally. no one Claiming to
speak for the president or near
enough to him to be assumed to ex-
press his wishes has announced his
candidacy"
Herbert Hoover is eliminated from
the list Of candidates whom Mr..
Bryan considers available" while
Senator Owen, Of Oklahoma, and
Tor ~
are described as being among the
few available men thus far mem
toned.
Qualifications Outlined.
To be available this year, Mr..
Bryan asserts, q candidate must be
known to be for women.s Suffrage
for prohibition and against Wall
street" As to Attorney General
Palmer, Mr.. Bryan says he entered
the campaign in position "to deal
sternly with the profiteer and ex-
pectant public stood ready to Ap-
plaud, but the profiteer seems to
have things all his own way and the
attorney general is now suffering
from the reaction" He adds that the
attorney general Is "unfortunate,
too, in having to espouse the ratin-
cation Of the treaty without reser-
vations. Former Senator Clark, Ce
the house Of representatives, is meH-
toned as having his, own state be-
hind him. while opposition to Cow
ernor Edwards, of New Jersey, and
Governor Cox, of Ohio, is reiterated.
After declaring that the convention
fights were likely to be over these
questions. Mr.. Bryan says the
chances are in favor Of the treaty
with reservations "and against the
prohteer and the saloon
Governor Cox's friends" the az
tcle declares, 'swill urge him as q
compromise between the vets of the
Edward type and the bone drys."
Vice President Marshall ie ac--
cused of making a feeble bid for the
wet vote."N
Judge Gerard's candidacy has
South Dakota's support, and he has
many personal friends among other
delegates" Mr.. Bryan says.
