Professor Responsible for the
"Cenealogy' Of Harding Fired
Democratic Paper of Dayton
Brands Alleged s'Cenealogy''
Statement Vilest Roorback
Ever Found In Politics.

Cincinnati, Oct. 3O.-The Day.
ton Journal, a newspaper owned
by Myron T. Hcrrick, former
United States ambassador to
France, this afternoon made pub
lie statement regarding the widely
circulated handbills charging
negro antecedants" of Senator
Harding.
It is known that even national
democratic committee officials
brand the story as a falsehood,
but the anonymous spread Of the
charge continues rapidly.
The Dayton Journal, In COM
menting on this underground CAM
paign, says:
"To the men and women Of
Dayton:
Thousands upon thousands of
typewriter mimeographed and
even printed statements, usually
under the head of 'Harding's fam
lily tree have been distributed at
first in cowardly secrecy. and in
the last few days openly, by men
low down in the democratic party,
unprincipled heelers and men high
up in the democratic party who
have sunk their standards to the
very sewers of depravity.
"The time has come. for plain
language. These vile circulars de-
clare that Warren G. Harding has
negro blood in his veins. This is
the vilest plot and conspiracy in
the history of the world worst
epochs of American politics.
"Unless there is no such thing
as truth in the world; unless there
is no such thing as honesty in the
world; unless there is no such
thing as decency in the world, if
our moral standards are not
sham, then the perpetrators of this
outrage will suffer the everlasting
condemnation of public opinion
within the sacred precincts in
every home in America.
"The answer to this conspiracy,
this plot, is that its base claims
are a lie.
Warren G. Harding has the
blood of but one race in his veins
that OF the white race-the pure
inheritance of fine line of an
cestors Of good men and women.
That is sufficient.

Salvation Army
Drive Falls Flat
InCity andState
Only $4,000 of Omaha's
100000 Quota Raised Up
to Today-Results In State
Equally Disappointing.

The Salvation Army's campaign
for funds in Omaha and Nebraska
has fallen far short of its mark, army
leaders declared yesterday.
The drive, by which il was planned
to raise more than 100000 in this
state, has proved almost an utter
failure in both the city and the state.
Omaha'S quota was set at 100000
when the drive opened last Mon
day. Not more than $4,000 had
been subscribed up to yesterday.
Results in the state were equally
Disappointing. State leaders, how
ever, believe by prolonging the cam
paign they will be able to reach their
mark, although not more than $l5,-
600 Of the $l25,000 has been raised.
To Extend Drive.
Following consultation Friday,
it has been decided to extend the
drive another week. Some leaders
favored immediate abandonment of
the campaign, but counsel Of the
more optimistic prevailed, and it
was decided to carry the drive with
renewed vigor one more week.
Of 10 state campaigns conducted
by the Salvation Army this year,
only in one city besides Omaha has
the drive fallen short of its mark.
That was in Pittsburgh where
subscriptions attained were only
slightly below the goal.
Lack of Interest.
Several reasons are given for the
failure of the drive here. One is
the lack OF interest, which is ex-
planned by the proximity of the
election and. the fact that so many
drives for funds have been staged
here together with lack of under
standing regarding the work done
by the Salvation Army.
Reports that 20 per cent Of the
money sought here is to be sent to
England were denied by drive lead
ers, who asserted all the money col
lected in Nebraska will be spent
within the state.
To Lap Over Others.
By continuing the drive another
week, the Salvation Army's CAM
paign will lap over into a drive
which is to be started by the Young
Women's Christian association Mon
day and the week following the an
nual Red Cross roll call campaign
will get under way.

Man Who Prepared State
ment Attempting to Show
Nominee Is Colored, Is
Discharged.

Wooster, O., Oct. 3O.--The board
of trustees of Wooster college by
unanimous vote last night re-
quested and secured the immediate
resignation of Professor William
Estabrook Chancellor, teacher OF
political science at the institution.
The motion states that ut is the
sense of the board of trustees that
the exigencies due to the publica-
tion iofethe letter as to Senator
Harding's genealogy, attributed to
Professor Chancellor, makes his
reNrh as professor in the college
a ih0possibility."
s(The >yooard further declared:
ut having come to the knowl-
edge Of the board that circular
letters are being scattered broad
cast throughout the country with
reference to Senator Harding, re-
publican nominee for the presi-
dency, which letters are attributed
to Professor Chancellor, part of
which he admits to have been
written by him and.
Whereas, such circular letters
issued on the eve of the election
ares for the manifest purpose of
appealing to prejudice and aid to
influence the electorate of the
country at the coming election.
Therefore, be il resolved that
we, the board of trustees of the
College of Wooster repudiate and
denounce such political methods
as utterly unworthy Of our college
and country.
"And, be it further resolved, that
the College of Wooster indignant
ly disclaim all connections with,
knowledge of, and authority for
making and issuing any such cir
cular letters"
DR.. Chancellor, testifying before
the board, the statement says:
Stated, that while conscious OF
the embarrassment occasioned to
the college, he felt in his breast
that he had done nothing wrong
or improper"
]. R. R.'McLaughlin, college treas
urer, who made the announcement,
added that the trustees made no
effort to establish the truth or
