 Washington. June 30.---The Repub- lican campaign will be based "on an appeal to restore party government as constftu tional substitute for personal government" Senator Harding am nounced today after a conference with Calvin Coolidge, his running mate and National Chairman Will H. Hays.
 At the same time Gov vernor Coolidge In a formal statement declared that there must be "a return of puohc opinion toward a self-control by the people. toward a great and overmas- tering desire to observe the law"
 Senator Harding's statement said;
 "Governor Coolidge breakfasted with me this morning and we have agreed that we will base the cam paign on an appeal to restore party government as a constitutional sub stitute for personal government.
 The governor and I have each served as lieutenant governor in our states, and we both have learned from experience how possible it is for a second official in state to be a helpful part in a party admins tration. I think the vice president should be more than a mere substl- tute in waiting. In re-establishins coordination between the executive office and the senate, the vice presi- dent can and ought to play a big part, and I have been telling Cover

JUDGE GIBSON IS
 MENTIONEOFOR GOVERNOR R

New Haven. June 3o-5udge Joohn L. Gi1son of this city is being seri- ously mentioned in political circles throughout the state for the nomina- ton for governor. It is not the first time the judge has been mentioned but it is understood he is not in a receptive mood for the honor.
 Republican politicians and leaders are not finding it an easy task to pick a man who will be acceptable to all elements in the party Speaker James F. Walsh of Greenwich is still said to be unacceptable, and Judge Donald T. Warner of Litchfeld, is not likely to take the nomination and there are others who have no pre- possessing political characteristics in the estimation of the party leaders. This, however, cannot be said of the judge, who would be expected on &C., count of his support from all e1e- ments to be most acceptable. He would have the support of Lieut. Gov. Clifford B. Wilson. of Bridge port; of J. Henry Roraback who, in cidentally, it is understood, desires him to run, and of Gov. Holcomb, ot whom he is a warm personal as well as political friend. All elem ents therefore, in the party would like te see the judge accept the nomination but there is some doubt that he could be persuaded to do so. X

GERMANS TRY TO PURCHASE CORN
 IN ARGENTINA

Buenos Aires. June 30.---Recent sharp advances in the price of Argen- tine corn are attributed to the fact that news leaked out that the League of Agriculturists of Germany had contracted with a Dutch firm for the purchase in Argentina of 1000, 900 tons of the cereal. The contract is said to be guaranteed by the German govern ment and is to be paid for month by month as the corn arrives out of the proceeds of the German government monopoly of potash and caustic soda. The corn is to be used chiefly for rals- ing pigs in order to remedy the dearth of fatty foodstuffs in Germany.
 Since the beginning of the year the price of corn has risen to the equiva- lent of $112- per busheL A million tons at this price would amount to about 4,O00 600. Hardly more than a year ago corn was being burned iE Argentina for fuel

 "of course" he said. i've will not spring any sudden ultimatum upon Bridgeport and say tomorrow we will take away the trolleys," but will give ample warning so that there may be time for deliberation and well con- sidered choice. The trustees are agreed that the case of Salem, Mass. where the community was given the choice between the trolleys and the jitneys, is the only way effectively to deal with the competition between the two. forms of transportation.
 "If the community prefers jitney service, well and good. We have no feeling against such action, but will be governed accordingly and re- move a form of transportation that is Second choice. For three to four years jitney competition has caused the Connecticut Go. serious loss and the trustees feel it is only sane busi- ness to settle the issue with the com nunity involved.'
 Asked whether the company had the legal right to discontinue service because it was non-paying, MT. Brainard said the company would not be justified in stopping service on some lines serving outlying districts though these did not pay, because this was foreseen, but that 1t was an en- tirely different situation when a local system as the Bridgeport became a losing proposition. through the inter- vention of unforeseen. and as the trolley officials believe, unfair compe- tition. He said the justice of discon- tinuing service in such a case was obvious.
 It is expected that the result of the contest in Bridgeport will be the sig ath n solve the question of jitney competi- ton. Otherwise the Connecticut Company will institute action in New Haven next and then in Hartford.
 When told by a Times representa- tive this morning that Mayor Newton c. Brainard of Hartford had made a statement that the jitneys would be driven off the streets in Bridgeport, John B. Schwartz. president of one of the local jitneymen's unions of this city. said that the union was prepared to fight the issue and that the jitney bus was here to stay.
 we have paid a license to operate on the streets of Bridgeport and they can not drive us off," said Schwartz.
 "If the Connecticut Company abandon their lines we are prepared to handle the situation and can fur nish transportation enough to handle the public. Furthermore we are in a position to operate on all lines and can put into use 150 extra machines within 25 minutes to handle the traf- fee if the, trolleys make good their threat in taking their cars off. The blizzard of last winter showed the people in this city how they could de- pend on the jitneys and we believe they will stand behind us now especi- ally as we are giving them better and cheaper service than the Connecticut Company"
