its decadent faithlessness naked and
unashamed in its servile service Of
a greedy plutocracy.

bold; it is brazen. With mild reser-

Even so the scandal remains, for
such profiteering was never pro-

Harding To See Wood.

MARION. o., July 10.-Another
busy day faced Senator Harding when
he reached his Office today. In ad-
dition to continuing work on his
speech OF acceptance the nominee
was to confer with Major General
Leonard Wood, who was a contestant
for the nomination at the Chicago
convention, and Senator Cummins of
Iowa, both of whom were scheduled
to reach Marion late in the day.
This will be the first time Sc
uator Harding and the general have
met since the nomination and the
conference is being watched with in
terest. The senator will confer to-
morrow with National Chairman
Hays who will be his guest over
Sunday.
In order to benefit by the judg-
ment of his chief partner, Senator
Harding announced that il he Is
elected president on the Republican
ticket the vice president would be
invited to participate in all cabinet
meetings. This would be done ac-
cording- to the announcement for
the purpose of bringing about team
work between the president and
vice president, while it is the sena-
tors view it would bring about
greater cooperation between the
executive and legislative depart
ments
Senator Harding believes" the
statement said. the country would
greatly profit through participation
OF the vice president in the confer
ences of the administration. 1t
would not only elevate the office of
the vice president but would give
the sound advice and able assist
ance of his chief partner in hand
ling the nations affairs"

CHICAGO, July 1O-The Repub-
lican and Democratic parties were
denounced as "the right and left
wing of the same bird of prey" at
the opening of a proposed Third
Party" national convention here to-
day.
Sounding the keynote of the as
semblage called together by the
committee of forty-eight to adopt
a platform and place in the field
another set Of candidates for pres
idency and vice presidency, Allen
McCurdy, temporary chairman
charged that the two big parties
had eyaded paramount domestic is
sues at a time when what the
country needs is fewer laws and
more freedom"
The abolition Of special privilege,
Mr.. McCurdy said, was the issue
around which the new party would
appeal to the voters in November
He said the party purposed effect
ing that end through removing the
sources from which privilege derives
its power.
ITO accomplish this purpase," he
declared, 'it proposes public own
ership of transportation and of the
principal basic resources of the
country and declares that all land
held out of use for speculation
should be forced into use by taxa
ton.
Consider the actual conditions
under which we meet. After years
of secret slavery the Republican
party and the Democratic party
come into the open and reveal
themselves to themselves and TO
the nation as nothing but the right
wing and the left wing of the same
bird of prey. 1t Is no longer posi-
BILE for any one even to pretend
that there is any difference on any
issue between them. There is not a
word in either of their platforms
that might not have been written
and unanimously endorsed by a
convention exclusively composed of
corporation lawyers and Wall
street bankers. The only differ
ence between these platforms as
some one has remarked. is a differ
ence in the number of words used
to say nothing. Confronted by the
gravest crisis in the history of civ
ilization. they have demonstrated,
even to their own adherents, that
they are without the vision of states
manship, the courage of leader
ship or the conviction of patriotism.
The Republican bid Is bold. 1t

and woman who ever stood for any

Despite the efforts of secrecy II
has been learned that many of the

conference here on Wednesday
night with Hamilton Kean, Repub-
lican national committeeman for

presence has been denied by all
who have been questioned on the
matter.
The state and national situations
were discussed at full, 1t is report
ed, the conference being in the form
of a round table session with the
understanding that all matters dis
cussed should go no farther than
the room in the New Packer House
in which the meeting was held.
Reports of such a conference
were heard about the city on
Thursday morning but inquiries re-
suited in denials of any meetings
