Time To End Federal
 Control, Says Harding
Rv AssooIntrd rrr,,

Providence R. l., February 25.-The time has come for the government to relinquish control of industry, United States Senator Harding of Ohio de- clared in an address at the annual din- ner of the Providence Chamber of Com merce tonight.
 We were shackled. regulated. re- strained. reproved and advised during the war and 1t was accepted as a war necessity, but now we are at peace, actual peace, if not formal peace. and it is time to unshackle," he said We need vastly more freedom than we do regulation and we need the restored freedom of business men.
 There will be no return to pre-w war conditions in Industry or commerce. The world has been In upheaval. For us the rutted paths of trade have been wiped out and new avenues await Old industrial problems have been effaced Capital and workmen are facing a new order
 The large wage will abide-it has been the legacy of war since our re- public began If there comes with the larger compensation to workmen not only restored but enhanced efficiency, it will mark splendid advancement Without the added efficiency it will prove backward step

Wood Formally Enters Ohio To
 Contest Harding
By Associated Prsss

Columbus, O., February 25.-Ohio, a pivotal state in presidential elections, and which promises to be one of the chief battle grounds next November is to be also .one of the chief storm cen ters in the selection of delegates to the republican national convention.
 This was made certain today when Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood formally en- tered the state to contest with United States Senator Warren c Harding, the preferential choice of Ohio's voters. for President. and also for the state s 4S delegates to the Chicago convention. The Ohio primary will be held April 27.
 General Woods declaration of can didacy was filed late today with the secretary of state by John II. Price, his Ohio campaign manager
 Simultaneous with the filing of Woods petition. James R. Garfield of Cleveland, Secretary of the Interior under Roosevelt, also filed as candi- date for President. His candidacy, however. it was explained at General Woods headquarters. is solely for the purpose of giving Wood candidates for delegate a second choice preference, as required by the Ohio primary law. In- asmuch. however. as his filing as a presidential candidate will place his name on the preferential primary bal lot along with the names of Senator Harding and General Wood, the gen erals managers are trying to figure out somewhat in which his name may be kept off the preferential ballot.

HooUer Declines To Permit Name
 To Grace Ballot
Ry A,,..la,.d pr,

Atlanta, Ga. February 25.-Herbert Hoover in a telegram to the state democratic executive committee today states he did not feel that any real public service will be performed by in jecting" himself in the race for the nomination for President. and declined to declare himself a democrat so thar under the rules in Georgia he might appear as a candidate in the prefer ential primary April 20.
 T was not identified with the demo- cratic party before the war" Hoover said, and my official connection with the government h2< been solely war service and consequently not a parti- san character"
 Mir. Hoover's candidacy was brought forward recently by petition signed by more than the required 100 white democrats who asked the democratic executive committee to file his name as a candidate. The committee had ruled that man must be a democrat to run in the primary, and as Mir. Hoover had never declared himself. the committee wrote asking if he cared to qualify. His reply. a telegram from New York, was made public here tonight. as fol lows:
 T feel confident that it is not neces- sary to dwell at length upon my grati- tude to you for the honor implied in your letter of February 22.
 T especially appreciate 1t, since I was not identified with the democratic party before the war, and my official connection with the government has been solely a war service and conse- quently not of a partisan character.
 T have not been able to persuade myself at all that any real public serv- ice will be performed by injecting my self into the race for the nomination to the greatest honor at the disposal of the American people
 Therefore, aside from any other req son, I do not intend to file my name. .
 A statement made over the telephone tonight by J. J. Flynt of Griffin, chair man of the committee. rei.orated that none but democrats should run in the presidential primary. After declaring he regretted that MT. Hoover had not seen fit to qualify, for personally ' admire the man." Mir Flynt explained primary rules. In state elections he said 1t has for years been customary to hold white" primaries with repub- licans and democrats voting and abid- ing by the result, but in presidentiai contents, since republicans in Georgia vote their own national ticket he said it was necessary to confine the partic- ipants to ayowed democrats.
 How absurd 1t would be therefore under such circumstances to open a demecratic presidential primary as a free for-all. It would be not only de . moralizing,. but it would be the end to party organization"

TREATY ID REMAIN
 BEFORE THE SENATE
 TILL VOTE REACHED
Leaders on Both Sides Frankly Declare That No One Knows What
 Will Happen
By A..oeIstsd prsn

Washington. February 25-Ths
 peace treaty will be called before tho
 Senate again tomorrow under an
 agreement to keep 1t continually under
 consideration until a vote is reached on
 ratification.
 No one knows what will happen
 said republican and democratic leaders
 alike tonight as they surveyed the per plexing possibilities with which the
 treaty now is confronted, Some of tho rank and file were more confident in their predictions, however, various friends of the treaty on both sides of
 the chamber declaring ratification was certain and all of its irreconciliable enemies agreeing that ratification was impossible.
 Only on one point the length of time likely to be consumed in bringing the reopened treaty fight to a termination, did there seem to be anything like unanimity of opinion.
 1t generally was conceded that the debate would not he permitted to drag out interminabIy tkis time, md that unless two three weeks brought action both sides would be willing to face final test of strength and then let the issue, if undecided. go into the campaign.
 DEADLOCK STILL APPARENT With the republicans still claiming that 22 democrats were ready to ac- cept the republican reservations, and with democratic leaders still insistent | that enough administration senators to prevent ratification would hold out for a compromise, the negotia tions to bring the two sides together appeared to be again in state of deadlock It was expected. however that private confer
 ences would continue as the Senate de. 1 bate was resumed, and 1t was on thess l exchanges that the treaty's supporters | pinned their hopes of a ratification. l When the treaty is called up the res-
 ervation affecting Article 10, and em-
 bodying the most serious barrier to | agreement will be the first proposition ] to present itself for action. It sener- l ally is expected, however, that it will l be put over for the present, while ths
 Senate proceeds with proposed compro-
 mise amendments to other parts of tho l republican reservation programme. l Whether 8 vote will be reached to- I morrow on any of these amendments 1 Is problematical. The general disposi- 1 tion has been to hold down debate, 1 but several senators want to speak at length on the general provisions of the treaty and 1t would not surprise the
 leaders if much of the present week | were taken up with discussion.
