Chicago, June II. Expressing
satisfaction over the nomination OF
Senator Warren G. Harding, Re-
publican leaders departed today,
but they have still to hear definite
word from Senator Johnson and his
running mate. Senator Borah. re-
garding active support of the Hard

rations from the departing lead

that Is because 1 have been ILL.,"
replied the Johnson lieutenant. I'll

my sister at Fairfield. Ills"

ed.

II was significant, however, that
the Harding ratification meeting
staged today by the official Repub-
lican organization, the Hamilton
Club OF Chicago, had no message
from anyone aligned with the john
son-Borah forces. The other ele-
ments of the party joined in the
general rejoicing over the Ohioah's
nomination.
Among those participating was
I. L. Emmerson, the Lowden cam
eaign manager, who stole third base
(Missouri) when 1t was already oc-
cupied. He will probably struggle
long to live down the Missouri cpl
sode which probably cost Gov. Low
den the nomination. 1t may cost Mr..
Emmerson a place on the State
ticket.
National Chairman Hays held nu-
merous conferences today in prep
aration for the campaign which has
been placed in his hands by the
courtesy of the nominee the first
time in political history that a can
didate has not selected his own man
ager. Harry VI. Daugherty, the
Harding manager, himself went be-
fore the national committee to ask
Mr.. Hays reelection.

He need not have worried, however,
for Bryce Cardigan was too well
aware of his own financial condition
to risk the humiliation of asking Shir-
