TRANSFER OF MAIN
 SESSIONS LIKELY
May Hold Communications Conference In Paris Under
 Auspices of the League
By Associated Press

Washington, October 3.--Main sessions of the International Communications Conference, preliminary slttings ot which are scheduled to begin here October <, may be transferred to Paris and held un- der the auspices of the League of Ma tions.
 According to official advices received here today, the transfer of the main con- ference may be requested by the at ending powers because of the desire of some members of the league to preserve for the ieasue general questions affect- ing International communications.
 At the preliminary conference between the United Sttaes Great Britain, France. Italy and Japan only matters relating to international communications raising from the war are expected to be con- sidered. Chief of these is the alloca- ton among the powers of the seized German cables which the United States claims the right of participation as an associated power with the allies in the war At the preliminary conference the programme and place and date of meet ing of the main conference are to be agreed on.
 While official advices have reported no disposition on the part of the allies to question the right of the United states to participate in the preliminary ses- sions there is said to be a desire on the part of those powers belonging to the League of Nations to have it as sume direction of the main conference at which general questions affecting in- ternationai communications are to be discussed
 Should the main sessions be trans ferred to Paris and placed under the League of Nations some officials said that the United States might then be rep resented only unoffcially

 'T have just received full steno. graphic report of the address of Sena- tor Johnson made at Los Angeles. Sep tember 25. It dissipates conclusively any notion that Senator Johnson is out of harmony with the candidates.
 Senator Johnson repeatedly quoted from the League of Nations address which I delivered on August 2S. giv- ing his unqualified approval to it. His speech. with this generous indorse ment of the party platform and my own interpretation of it, brings no surprise to me. More than that, il adds to my confidence that when we
 
 menace which we were being let in for we are going to be able to have America agree on every problem which shall hold us forever free and still play our part in the conscious of the world"
 Tomorrow Senator Harding will motor to Fremont, O.. to speak at the unveiling of a senatorial memorial near the home of President Hayes. Original arrangements of plans of the celebration. contemplated also the at . tendance of Governor Cox. but the in- formation at Harding headquarters to- night was that he would not be pres ent.
 One of the longest campaign trips, taking him to Des Moines, Chicago. Kansas City and Oklahoma City, will begin on Wednesday. St. Joseph. Mo-, was added to the itinerary today for Friday, October $.

Bryan Picks Defects
 in U. 5. Government
States That Gratitude to the American People Prompts Him to Reveal Three Rem edies.

New York, March 19.-William Jen- nlngs Bryan declared here tonight that his ambition was not to enjoy the honors of public office but to discharge as fully as possible his debt of grati- tude to the American people.
 This was the Nebraskans first pro- nouncement on the democratic presi- dential nomination since the an nouncement of his brother in Lincoln on March g that the "Commoner" would not vote for Senator G. M. Hitchcock if he were elected a dele gate to the national convention.
 MT Bryan made known his stand in a speech at a dinner at the Aldine club arranged in celebration of his t"th birthday anniversary by friends and admirers of all parties. This ad- t;lesF was the first on a speaking tour that will embrace many states
 Beware of the Dam" was the sub iect of his address. Comparing civ ilization to mighty river which will not be denied, he listed obstructions which have been swept away in his lfetimes and those which he declared must go.
 In the latter class he placed the profiteer, private monopoly, obstacles to the wage earners progress and the f3rnier's advance. and the rules of the United States senate, which he de-
