WIN, SAYS HARDING

Senator Warren @. Harding, the
Republican Presidential nominee, in
statement yesterday said Cover
nor Cox deserved the Democratic
Presidential nomination, but added
that his selection would not change
the Republican campaign plans in
Ohio in any way.
The statement was given out by
the senator shortly after he had
learned of the Governors selection.
The senator at the same time also
sent Governor Cox a telegram con-
graduating him on his success.
Governor Cox's nomination, !"
Senator Harding said, "is an added
consideration shown to our great
State Of Ohio, for which I am glad,
and gives reasonable assurance that
finally a newspaper man is to be
made the nations chief executive
Ohio has accorded Governor Cox
very unusual distinction, and he de-
served his victory at San Francisco.
His nomination will not change our
activities in any way in Ohio. 1t is
a great party contest before us, to
be fought on great principles in
volved, and neither place Of resi-
dence nor personality will have any
marked influence on the result.
During the next few days Sena-
tor Harding plans to devote much
of his time to the preparation of his
speech of acceptance. Ever since
his nomination he has been accumu-
lating material for this purpose and
now has it in such shape that he
need only to put his ideas on paper.
Owing to the necessity for more
space in the administration building
next door to the Harding home, plans

M'GIBBONY CHOSEN { ALDERMAN IN THE
 FIRST BY 36 VOTES
Little Interest Taken Yester- day in the Municipal
 Primary

G. D. McGibbony, alderman from the First ward, was re-nominated to that office in the city primary yes- terday by a majority of 36 votes over Howard s. Davis. The unofficial count last night was: McGibbony 233; Davis 197.
 By wards it was as follows:
 First: McGibbony 103, Davis 36.
 Second: McGibbony 65, Davis, 79.
 Third: McGibbony AS, Davis 63.
 Fourth: McGibbony IT, Davis 19.
 In the other races there were no contests and little interest. The official count has not been taken and preliminary canvass was not complete. Few, if any, of the candi- dates were scratched. The man who goes to the polls not to support a candidate but to vote against him was conspicuously absent. It was a quiet election and scores of men forgot that it was on until it was over. Candidates and their friends stood around town most of the day without even getting into an argu- ment. Late in the afternoon the ladies came out with fair repres- entation. A great many of them were for Mr. McGibbony, because of his record, a friend of McGibbony's said last night, adding that it couldn't have been because of Me Gibbony being handsome. "Have you been to the polls," was question answered more by the query "what polls? ?" yesterday than it was by ives" or "no."
 In some wards voters with thirst and "flu" sufferers added "for license" at the bottom of the bal lots.' Most of the voting was over early in the afternoon and ballot boxes were in the county clerks of- flee before o'clock. When in for. mer city elections scores thronged the clerks office, there wa s only County Clerk L. T. Sal le e late yesterday and he locked up shortly after o'clock. "A good time was had by all."
 Only three women voted in the first. Thirty women voted in the second and all of the unopposed can. didates were favored. In the third each unopposed candidate received III votes as we'll as in the fourth.
 The following were elected:
 For city attorney, A. R. Cooper.
 For municipal judge, E. s. Wood.
 For city clerk, Will Lee.
 For municipal court clerk, Arm strong Barrow.
 For aldermen:
 First ward, c. D. McGibbony.
 Second ward, Charles A. Gordon.
 Third ward, F. o. McGehee.
 Four ward, J. A. Clement.
 They are to be elected in April.

Denies Jenkins in Plot With Mexican
 Kidnappers' Band

Washinston, Jan. 30.-Assertion that William o. Jenkins. American Consular agent at Puebla, Mexico, was implicated with the bandits who kidnapped him were characterized as "utterly ridiculous today by Dr. James N. Taylor of New York, sec retarv of the board of missions of the Methodist Episcopal church. Doc tor Taylor was witness before a special examiner for the senate for eign relations subcommittee to whom he told the story of his own capture by Mexican soldiers. The soldiers, he said, were later paid $2O0 by his friends to obtain his release. Dr.. Taylor was characterized on busi- ness trip near Tampico several months ago. Discussing the Jenkins case he said:
 "I was a guest at the home of MT. Jenkins up to few days before his capture" the witness said, land I found he was highly regarded by the Mexicans. His interest in the Mexi- can people, was very great and he aided them in every way, giving them a hospital to care for their sick"
 Dr. Taylor added that Jenkins was never removed more than fifteen miles from Puebla by the bandits and said there had been many re- ports that the bandits could have been captured.
 Withdrawal of American business concerns from Mexico, the witness said, would cause famine in ninety days, as the Americans had provided the natives with source of liveli- hood.
 Francis W. Blackford, Columbus, Ohio, civil engineer, testified that he was forced to forfeit mining prop critics in Mexico because the Car renza government had ordered that they be operated and the risk was too dangerous.

 Local Quarantine

Steps to guard against another outbreak of influenza will be taken at q meeting this morning of Pine Bluff physicians, Dr. Fred Rowell, city health officer. Dr. F.. c.

 At this meeting the situation will be thoroughly discussed, physicians will be asked to report on all cases or suspected cases. and policy of prevention will be decided upon. The meeting will be held at II o'clock in the offices of Dr. William Breath wit, Citizens bank building.
 The meeting was arranged after Chamber of Commerce trustees yes- terday at noon had insisted upon some action being taken in the local situation and had criticized failure of local physicians to promptly re- port cases. At this meeting it was suggested that the schools, motion picture houses and other public gathering places be closed for 10 days. The subject provoked gen eral discussion in which practically every trustees present took part and the special committee, composed of Means, Gregory and Brummitt, was v,a ,nl oo raot,tt "a Ma,p hnro oP thn committee took the matter up with Dr. Powell yesterday afternoon and the meeting for today was arrangedl
 Declaring that he did not be. lieve the present situation would justify closing schools, churches and movies, Dr. Powell last night said that he would advocate policy of strict segregation and local quaran- tine.
 Twelve more new cases-the largest reported so far in any sim gle day-were reported to Dr. Rowell yesterday, bringing the total in the city, reported to 32. In one family, that of Daniel Furr, 709 State, Dr Powell said there were seven cases. Tn another, that of R. Carnahan, Laurel street, there are four cases. The latter cases, Powell said, were promptly reported to him by Dr. John s. Jenkins, the attending physi- clan.
 Members of the chamber yesterday expressed the belief that few of the cases have been reported. Twenty cases reported to the city physician, a sstated in the morning paper, doesn't represent half of them, in my belief" Gregory declared. s. B. Russell, M. c. Hollis, E. B. Bloom and others urged prompt action and ad- vocated closing the schools and other places of assemblage if conditions warrant.
