by Amos Pinchot, member of the
committee Of forty-eight, that there
positively would be a new party pres
fdential candidate in the field; ru-
mors that Senator LaFollette void
head ticket as presidential candi-
date, and announcement that the
campaign in behalf of Senator War
rem G. Harding, Republican presi-
Dental nominee, would be started
promptly, were the outstanding de-
velopments following the Republican
national convention.
The statement by Mr.. Pinchot de-
cIared that the Republican party
has driven out of representation in
its councils the millions of voters
who followed Roosevelt, Johnson
and LaFol1ette," and that the new
party will represent these voters and
present a definite and constructive
program"
Reports concerning Senator La
Follette's possible candidacy were
less clearly defined and in some in
stances were linked with declarations
made in behalf of the committee of
forty-eight.
Harry NJ. Daugherty, pre-conven-
ton campaign manager for Senator
Harding, began preparations for the
presidential nominee campaign by
requesting the national committee to
take prompt, spappy and energetic
action" in placing the merits of the
Republican issues before the voters
of the country. Party managers, 1t
was said, would start the campaign
soon after the Democratic convention
is held and would not wait until
Senator Harding and Governor Cool
idge are officially notified of their
] nomination.
A conference will be held in few
days between Harding and Senator
Lodge, chairman of the committee to
notify the nominee. At that time,
the time and place of the notification
ceremonies will be decided. Hard
ing favors notification in his home
town, Marion, Ohio. Similar arrange
ments will be made by William Allen
White, of Kansas, for notification of
! Governor Coolidge.
An executive committee to have
direct charge Of the campaign also
is to be named after conference be-
4 tween Harding and a committee to
arrange with him for details of the
campaign. This committee is head
ed by Charles D. Hilles, of New
f. York Harding and Will H. Hays
chairman of the national committee
also are scheduled to talk things
over within a few days.
Hays shortly will call the national
committee together to get to work
on the revision of the basis of repre-
sentation, as provided in the resolu-
ton adopted by the convention at its
closing session. A subcommittee
probably will be appointed to go over
3 the situation and make recommenda-
lions for a rule under which states
s will get representation on the basis
of the actual republican vote. The
national committee has a year to
work this out, and final action prob
ably will be delayed until the census
returns, now being given out, are
completed.
Officers of the committee today
were cleaning up odds and ends fol-
lowing the convention.
Before departing for Washington,
Senator Hiram Johnson sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Senator Harding:
n Congratulations to you.
n "(Sfgned) HI JOHNSON"
Senator Harding's hands were
flooded with kilograms of congratu-
lations. Senator Knox wired:
Am delighted with your nomina-
ton and will do all I can to secure
your election"
Frank Hitchcock, one of the Wood
managers, extended "heartiest con-
gratulations," and similar messages
were received by Herbert S. Hadley.
formerly governor of Missouri; for
mer Senator William Alden Smi tn,
of Michigan; Judge Pritchard, OF
North Carolina, and hundreds of 9TH
ers prominent in the party.
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
sent this telegram:
accept our sincerest personal con-
gratulations."

when the Republican nominee for
the vice presidency arrived at his
n office. Most of the messages were

Coolidge today declared he had
three outstanding distinctions. Dur
ing the past fourteen years he mas
only played golf twice; he pays .S32
a month for rent and fears a raise;
and he smokes stogies. The latter
practice is for economy's sake, he
