sion, it is understood, along with other
subjects at tho conference between
Senator Harding and Colonel William
Boyce Thompson, of New York. here
to-day. Colonel Thompson, chairman
of the ways and means committee OF
the National Committee, it is said, re-
ported the progress made in raising
the amount through individual contri-
buttons limited to $1,000 and outlined
the possibility of wiping out the deficit
in the near future.
Colonel Thompson also discussed
economic conditions, both at home and
abroad.

Senator Harding is giving a helpful

extremely fortunate at this time to

While we did not discuss in detail

Senator Harding is particularly de-
sirous of enlisting Che best brains and
ability Of the country in his Admins
tration. / am confident, further, that
he is going to succeed in this. He rec
ognizes that he is simply the designated
