STEADILY GAINS

Washington, Sept. 14.-Main-
tenance of the steady improve
ment shown in her condition for
the last three days gave attending
physicians entire confidence to-
day that Mrs. Harding wasswell on
the road to recovery from her
critical Illness. Issuance of the
regular bulletins on the patients
condition was discontinued, with
only occasional reports to be is
sued instead on the progress Of her
recovery, it was announced. An
official bulletin last night re-
ported that Mrs. Harding had
spent the best day" yesterday
since her Illness became critical.
AS in the case of a previous
Siege of the same illness, however,
the bulletin expressed the opinion
of attending physicians that Mrs.
Harding's convalescence would
necessarily be tedious one.

Rted Patriotic Societies and

regarded as propagandist for the

Pierce Evades Question.
Recounting the failure of the
committee to get satisfactory an
swers from Pierce, the Observer
article continues.
Mr.. Pierce explained that he
had Just dictated a statement Of
his stand on the school question
and that after this had been CON
sidered and submitted to his sup
porters, it would be delivered in
the first political speech that he
makes,
More than 100 farmers from
half a dozen different counties
gathered Saturday september ~
at Champoeg, the cradle of Amer
icanism on the Pacific coast, and
after discussing the political stu
alton decided to join with the
Scottish Rite Masons and the fed
Grafton OF patriotic societies at
Portland and decide what action
shall be taken.
"A committee from these farm
ers went to Portland directly aft
er the meeting, and there took the
stand that, In view Of Pierces re-
fusal to sign up as favoring com
pulsory education, they favored a.
third candidate for governor. The
arrival of the farmer committee
put new life into the political sit
uation, with the result that it was
expected that formal organiza
tion would shortly be perfected
and the proposed campaign be put
in action"

Pierce is secretly pledged to sup

not daring to come out openly. In

Pierce told the two men sent to
him that the compulsory educa-
tion bill Is defeated by 1000
votes, and that If he came out for
the bill he would be defeated by
$4,000.
mt. Pierce told his interview
ers that the Roman Catholic arch
bishop has already collected
fund of $500. 900 to fight compul-
sorry education. OF this one man
in Portland donated 100000. He
further stated that many of his
