Methsd Followed.


What has happened in the past
is that just preceding the Republi-
can national conventions Northern
agents Of some candidates for the
Presidential nomination have gone
into the South. have inspired scan
dalous local conventions of persons
not voters under the laws of the
State, and have thus acquired
pocket" delegates for the benefit OF
their candidates. All this will end.
A further step in the same dirsc-
tion will be to limit the whole num-
Der Of Republican delegates from
any State to a number fixed in pro-
portion 70 the number of persons
who actually can vote and do vote
the Republican ,tienet In the State.
This rule. IL adopted. will reduce
the present number of Republican
delegates from the South from 121
10 about 10.
Help Ts rerty.
After the new regime. II IL goes
through. it is eonndentally expected.
both by the Republican national
leaders and by representative men
in the South, that q Republican
party under local white leadership
will quickly take root In the South
and grow. As this genuine Repyk-
lican party made up Of legally quail
ihed voters increases In the South
the number of delegates will. of
course, increase. =
There Is opposition to- this, pro-
posal on the part of several: "Oid
Guard" leaders who for many years
have operated with Southern dele
gates on the old basis. But the de-
termination to get away from the
old condition Is unmistakable. 1T is
reflected, among other ways, In the
easily apparent fact that the rec
concentrations to post ofices' and
other public positions in. the South,
now being made to Harding By Re-
publican leaders who see the new
Hight. are confined to the kind of
representative men whoswf1l be ac-
ceptable to the communities in
which they will hold once. They
know that Harding will NOT appoint
any other kind. The old apprehen-
sion under which the South has
lived for so years, that q Repubii-
can victory will be followed Sy the
appointment to Southern ofices Of
large numbers OF locally unaccept-
able persons. will nos appear In
Hardings administration.
The formal action OF the Rspubli-
can National Committee In this
matter will be decided sometime
within the next few wesks. It's Do
htical Importance. to the South and
to the country generally win be
historic.

Announcement that the United
States Is to be represented at the
Porto Rosa, Conferences serves to
call attention to one more interna-
tionsl gathering. which has hfther-
to been generally overlooked in the
United States. but must have great
European importance ostensibly
the conference is to discuss ways
and means to assist unfortunate
Austria, Sbut actually, since the
whole Central European problem is
closely bound together, what must
be considered Is the situation in all
OF what Is described, rather vague
ly, as Balkanized Europe.
In the discussion economic con-
alterations wilr, unhappily, conflict
with political purposes. Thus the
French are interested. in a read5ust-
ment which will In some manner
draw together the three, fragments
Of the old Hapsburg empire-Aus-
tria, Czecho -Siovakia and Hungary
The Italians, on the contrary, are
solidly aligned against even an eco
noniic union between, these separat:
ed parts. q union which might prove
the first step In the reconstruction
or n DanubiAn confederation.'
France Fears Unis..
~ Behind the French policy lies. as
always, the fear OF German expan-
sion southwark, the first step In
which would be the union. OF Aus
.tria with Germany. This, unionw was
forbidden by, the treaties of Paris,
bot has been constantly urged by
Austrian. German and other politi-
clans ever since the close of the
Paris conference. Such STEP
would add more than six million
people to the German state thus
making good the losses incident to
territorial cessions to. France and
Poland, and still further increase
the lead German population has
over France.
Italy, on the other hand. sees In
Austria the secular enemy. Her
greatest gain by the war II not the
relatively. restricted areas annexed
in the Tyrol and on the eastern
shore Of the Adriatic. but the total
annihilation OF that Austro- Hun
garian empire, which has for centu-
ries been the foe of italian unity

rival along the Adriatic shores,
Italy does not fear Germany. She

approaching events the possible
mobilization Of French troops on
May /. and the celebration OF the
Napoleon centenary on May 8. =
+, In the first instance the radical
press Is extremely bitter, and has
lately, taken TO issuing audacious

were showed over the roads to death
from 1914 to 1913. We have got to

Renoult's utterance is typical Of
the. general tenor OF q majority OF
declarations coming from Socialists
these days.
As to the slorihcation Of the mem
ory of Napoleon, the radicals see
in. 1t an attempt to glorify the spirit
of militarism. Deputy Herriot, the
Socialist who was mayor Of Lyons,
has resigned from the memorial
committee. charging that the ami
versary is being made q means OF
propaganda. ..-.
Resent Catholic Support.
The whole-hearted participation
in the event by the Catholic Church
is also displeasing to the radicals.
who sneeringly recall Napoleon's
treatment of the powers at Rome.
The situation is summed up in the
printed words of one Communist
with sense Of humor. who says:
"on May 1. in labor demonstra-
tions, we are kicked about for
shouting Long live the republic;
but on May 1t is perfectly permis-
sihle to shout Long live the em-
peror'"
Seriously, no Frenchman expects
in this day and age a recrudescence
Of Bonapartism to follow the Ma
poleon fetes, but the situation fur
nishes good material for radical
agitation.

Must BE Vster.

The step winch Will brlng this
about and which Is expected: to be
taken will be the adoption Of a
rule OF the Republican National
Committee to the effect that no
delegate will be received In any
national convention who Is not
himself a qualified voter and who
has NOT actually voted In his home
State: and, further, that no dele
gate will be received in whose Sc
lection. by primary or convention.
any person has taken part who is
not a qualified voter of the State,
or who has not actually voted In
an election under the laws Of his
State.
This RUE, of course, will be of
universal application, but its i'm
mediate effect will be felt almost
wholly in the South. In most OF
the Southern States there are State
laws which prevent certain classes
of negroes and others from voting;
unless they fulnil certain qualin-
cations. These laws have been con-
irmed and declared constitutional
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. The decision OF the Re-
publican National Committee, II II Is
adopted, will be to stand squarely
with the Supreme Court. and pre-
vent any man, or group Of men.
from taking part in the Republican
party machinery unless he Is q
qualified voter and has actually
voted under the laws OF his State.
" a man is not a voter. and has
not voted. and cannot vote in the
elections Of his State. he cannot
be q delegate TO the Republican
national convention, or take part

else 70 be delegate.

over to the railroads seven hundred
million dollars, which will be used In
getting the lines back to pre-war ef'

Washington. lit begins to look as IL
the treaty of Versailles will be re-
submitted to the senate after all, as
the easiest way Of settling the COM
plications Of peace with Germany. sci
No official admission of this Is OBJ
tainable, nor is any anticipated. but
there are Indications that way will
be sought to reconcile the irreconcila-
bles, showing them that the adminis-
tration will welcome every change
they care to make, so that the measure
will be the, treaty of, Versailles only in
name and will actually be very much
the sort of covenant contemplated by
the treaty Of anity, commerce and
navigation they want aissG3' ~ b
Secretary of State Hughes is sup
posed to have completed the revision
of the treaty, or rather to have ready
the recommendations for modification
by the senate. The treaty Itself must
be submitted cas- is. 1t is the senate's
job to make the reservations. tta
This would make one bite of the
cherry; it would serve instead of the
treaty with Germany and the treaty
with the allies that the experts say
will be required to secure us the ad-
vantage coming to us as victors in
the war.
Naturally the effort to pacify the
senate hsstiles will be made in ad-
vance of any presentation OF the prop
osition, for the hope and desire of the
administration is to avoid the sort of
row Johnson, Borah, LaFoilette and
some others are expected TO raise. As
one of the authorities puts it:
''The administration is urging peace
and not sword. There is no desire
to force anything on anybody, but a
real purpose of finding the simplest
way of protecting American interests
and furthering the welfare of the
world"

is IN DEFIANT MOOD.
FARM BLOC HOLDS POWER
Shelving Of the Bonus May BE Accom-.
plished, But Strong Sentiment
'e Develops Against Taking a
's4 Senate Recess. sa AsH


Washington, - President Harding
faces the first real test of his leader
ship as result of his demand that
congress sidetrack the soldiers bonus
bill, pigeon-hole other pending legisla-
tion, and give its whole-hearted atten-
tion to the purpose for which the spe-
cial session was called. namely, tariff
and tax revision. ~
Polls indicate that the outcome will
be a fifty-fifty affair. Administration
leaders were confident that they would
be able to shelve the bonus bill until
next winter, although they admitted
that the results would be close. It was
generally conceded, however. that the
president would have to gain strength
from unexpected sources before he
could carry into effect his desire that
the senate take recess as a means OF
facilitating committee action on the
tax and tariff bills. .e''f"5" fss@G't'a
The bipartisan senatorial combina-
tion known as the agricultural bloc,
mastering 80 votes, appeared to have
control of the situation. SO far as
the bonus is concerned, 1t is taking
no stand and its members will be wide
ly divided on that question of RECON-
miting the bill. On the, question OF
taking a recess and abandoning all 9TH
er legislation except tax and tariff.
however, it is in q defiant mood.
Far from agreeing to this portion of
Mr To ordt ofc hn w q q
busily engaged seeking new methods
to hold the senate on the job until the
farmers, relief program was put
through. The old law of 1850 was
dragged out from the musty archives
and. prepared for application in the
drive for additional agricultural legis-
lation. Under the provisions of this
act senators who absent themselves
without good cause are liable to a fine
of $25 for each day of their absence.
| This law was invoked several years
ago In the house and vastly improved
attendance resulted. 1t is believed that
enforcement of the law in the senate
would lessen the difficulty OF securing
quorum these days. ,,..
The most sorely perplexed element
in the senate is that group Of 81 sena-
tors who come up for reelection next
year. Prospects are that the admins
tration will receive little support from
this class of senators either on the
republican or democratic side. Not
withstanding such defections, admins
tration leaders felt certain they would
be able to round up so or more votes in
favor of sending the bonus back to the
finance committee after the president
