tionaf feeling. he has shown every
disposition to ignore IL and keep
harmony. The big test viii come
when the question arises of APP
pointing VIII Hays to the cabinet.
The news from indianapolis that
Senator Harry New may go into the
cabinet is interpreted as meaning
that some friends OF VIII Hays are
urging New for the cabinet because
they believe the chances of Hays
are not so good as they have been.
The story seems TO be that IL New
resigns from tho senate the COVER
nor of Indiana would appoint VIII
Hays TO the senate
There are always lot of after
the campaign revolts like the one
going on against VIII Hays. Presi-
dent elect Wilson had u McCoombe-
McAdoo squabble TO deal with in

ton. Disinterested observers think
VIII Hays services will ultimately
be recognized by Mr.. Harding either

farty Harmony Lacking.


1t is no secret that there have
been serious differences of opinion
inside the Republican party con
cerniug the management of the last
campaign, and particularly with re-
sardN-to its financing. viii Hays
Republican national chairman. hasn't
had an easy time preserving mar
mony. Inside the ranks as the outside
world may have supposed. He has
been the object of considerable Criti-
cism by the original Harulng men,
who seem TO bear grudge agains,
him for his alleged activities ut the
Republican national convention at
Chicago. They insist that when the
recess was taken on. Saturday after
the drift toward Harding had be-
gun, Hays made an effort through
his friend, William Boyce Thompson,
OF New York, to have himself noml-
mated. They also declare that in the
period preceding the convention
Hays was advancing his own canul-
dacy. Whatever foundation there
may be for the story, the fact Is
feeling does exist and one enCoun-
tiers 1t in talking with various Ke-N
publican leaders. 1t crops out in
questions of policy and bears n rec
lationship 10 the question of the fl
nance. For example, it is insisted
by some Republicans close to Hard
ing that the original scheme of
placing a $1,000 limit on contribu-
lions suggested by Mr.. Hays was
both impractical and unwlse since
the Democrats had placed no sucu
limitation on themselves, and since
the end of the campaign woulu suI.-
~ find the party facing n deficit
that would have to be made up by
rich men. This, original Harding
men insisted, would put Senator
.Harding in an awkward position. lie
would feel embarrassed If he APP
pointed anyone who had contributed,
for instance, as much as $4,000 or
$4,000. Should any of the friends
of such contributors approach him
with Il request that the aforesaid
contributor be appointed, they said,
Warren Harding wouldn't feel com
Portable in turning down the request,
for he recognizes service to the party.
Would Limit Gifts.
The fact of the matter is Senator
Harding doesn't want u few rich
men to make up the deficit. He
wants 1t made up somewhat as the
campaign fund itself was collected.
il Is, therefore, understood to be his
wish that all contributions of $500
or $1,000 should be doubled-or at
least Il request made for a duplicate
sum from all who have already sent
IN checks for sums between those
Two amounts.

publican sources that are not alto
gether friendly TO WIN Hays comes
