HARDING WILL
NOT STUMP FOR
REPUBLICANS
Congress to Remain in Party
Control, He Expects. but
Many Seats May Be Lost.
BY GEORGE X. HOLMES.
International News Service.

President Harding plans to take
little, II any. personal part in the
campaign to determine the political
complexion OF the Sixty-eighth Con-
Eress, 1t was learned today.
The President will from time to
time participate in party counsels.,
and probably offer suggestions ana
advice, but will podtake the stump.
Numerous reqs -Sts for speaking
dates have been turned down.
The political situation In number
of important States was thoroughly
canyassed by the President and MS
advisers before Congress left, and
Mr.. Harding is said to feel no ap-
prehenslon over the continued con.
troll of Congress by the Republicans.
The Republican campaign mar
ayers, among them John T. Adams.
chairman of the Natl nal Committee,
and Senator Medill Mccormick OF
Illinois, chairman Of the Senatorial
Campaign Committee, have informed
the President that the present Re
publican majority Of twenty-five IN
the Senate will be maintained. but
that in the House a severe cut in the
present majority Of 169 Is TO be ex'
pected.
1t Is not to be expected, they point
ed out, that the unprecedented pro
portions of the 1920 landslide can be
maintained in this year Of upsets.
The Republicans are holding nearly
q hundred seats in the present Con-
gress that are normally" Demo
cratic, and they are resigned to the
backward swing of the political per-
dulum.
Nearly all members Of the Cab
met and Vice President Coolidge will
help in the campaign. Speaking
dates for Cabinet members and for
those Seantors whose political for.
tunes are NOT at stake this fall are
now being worked out by the national
committee.

VETS AND DRYS
LINE Up IN FIGHT
F0RJERSEYV0TE
FreIinghuysen Running fol
Reelection for Senate,
Claims Victory.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service,

Prohibitionists and anti-prohibi-
tionists are all anxious over tomor-
rows primaries in New Jersey,
where the question of beer and light
wines is one of the pivotal issues.
Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen
is running for reelection as a dry"
who Is opposed to any modification
of the Volstead act. With the aid
of the Anti-Saloon League and the
women vote he hopes to capture
the Republican nomination despite
the strong fight waged against him
as "reactionary" and as a spokes-
man for the Harding Administrator
by George L. Record, the Progressive
candidate.
Governor Edward 1. Edwards is
the lone Democratic Senatorial
aspirant, and because he Is unop-
posed the Democrats are reported
to be planning to swing much or
their support to Record on the sup
position that he would be easier to
beat in November than Frelinghuy.
sen.
II this report turns out to be true,
the Edwards vote in the primaries
may not prove a real test Of the
wet" strength Of the man who
achieved national prominence by
declaring II was his intention to
make New Jersey "as wet as the
Atlantic ocean" Some Of Edward
hackers say ne will make his big
fight in November to win his way
into the Senate as a champion OF
beer and light wines.
The dry" vote polled by Freling.
huysen tomorrow may, however.
prove an earlier political barometer
Of how the people of New Jersevy
feel about the Volstead act. Fire
linghuysen has been bitterly attack
ed by the 'wets" as being insincere
in his advocacy of law enforcement.
Record has sought to wrest the
Republican nomination from Freling-
huysen by sidestepping the liquor
question and standing out as a sup
porter of such progressive policies"
as enabled other anti-Administra-
ton men like La Toilette of Wis
consin, and Brookhart Of Iowa, to
smash their way to victory through
the ranks of the "Old Guard"
Record has emphasized the fact
that Frelinghuysen stands for all
the "Old Guard" represents.
Frelinghuysen has gone through
a strenuous campaign, one Of the
bitterest in the eventful political
history Of New Jersey, and political
sharps everywhere are taking more
interest in the outcome of what will
be the last State primary fixed by
law this year than in anything that
has happened since La Toilette
crushed his enemies in his home
State.

The right leg was badly injured, the skin being torn from the ankle to the hip. The child suffered severe shock. Dr. P. w. Lutterloh and II. H.

 Truck Loads Alcohol

Chicago, Feb 25-Fifteen men, all heavily armed and working un- der the direction of a leader, in- vaded a branch warehouse of the United States Industrial Alcohol Company yesterday, tied up a half dozen employees and escaped with two truck loads of alcohol valued at $50,000.
 The bandits worked in groups of four, all armed with automatic pis- tols. They came upon the employees and office force simultaneously and no opportunity was given to send 2 call for help. Manager, clerks stenographers and roustabouts were ordered to hold up their hands. They were then tied and bundled into a room, which was locked The leader then went to the door and whistled. Six or seven more men came in and began trundling out barrels of alcohol. The robbery was completed inside of 20 minutes One truck, carrying nine barrels of alcohol, came to grief several blocks distant and was picked up by the police who arrested the chauffeur. The other truck and all the men with this one exception got safely away.

POOR MEXlCANS OF COLORADO
 T0 CO HOME
15,OOO Stranded Workers,
 Some Unpaid, Will Be Sent Across Border; Mex
 ico to Prevent Emigration

(By Interna tional News SerVlce)
 Denver. Feb. 25.---Despite assur- ances from Governor o. Fl. Shoup that everything possible would be done to alleviate their condition, early withdrawal of the 15,00O odd Mexican laborers now in Colorado and their return to the motherland below the Rio Grande is predicted by Vincente Rendon Quijano, MeXl- can Consul in Denver, following his investigation of the impoverished condition of thousands of his fellow eountrymen as a result of economic depression.
 Senor Quijano recently appealed to the Mexico City government for financial aid in transporting McXi- can laborers in Colorado to their native land, to be repatriated and allowed acreage of their own for cultivation.
 Consul Quijano declared that his investigation, especially in the best tCuLIGS Ul tlC SOutilSilI II ettiN SlSNIi VI sections of the state, convinced him of the advisability of the Mexican laborers returning to their home- land and declared that they will be welcomed back.
 "The condition of MeXicans in Colorado is critical" Consul Qui- jano declared. "In many cases they have not been fully paid for their work owing to lack of funds of the farmers. This is one of the chief reasons why MeXicans are destitute this winter.
 "The best field workers are the greatest sufferers, and it is prob able that they will be taken back to Mexico soon."
 Consul Quijano intimated that the Mexican government will endeavor to secure permission from the Unit ed States government to run as many trains into this country as will be necessary to accommodate the returning MeXicans.
 He also said that Mexico is plan ming new legislation to prevent the emigration of Mexican laborers.

 The call for the national confer ence, it is said, will be issued with i'll very few days.

Engstrum of Wilmington, N. G., and the hearing by the House Military Committee of Thomas w. Martin, president of the Alabama Power Company.
 The Senate approved an expendi- ture of $2,000 to defray the cx- penses of senators who desire to make the inspection trip, without limiting the number to make the trip. The time for the visit will be determined by the Agricultural Com mittee when it meets next Tuesday.

 a was precipitated during the exam ination of MT. Martin by Repre- sentative Miller, Republican, of Washington, on the contract exe- cuted by the Alabama Power Com pany and War Department officials, by which the Warrior steam plant was constructed for governmental use during the war. Mir. Martin had explained that section of the contract under which the power company claimed an option permit ting it to buy the plant in the event it ever is decided to sell the plant and accessories to private in- terests.
 Tt seems to me" interjected Mr. Miller, that the whole business has been so shaped, entwined and stitched up that no human being 'could ever come into competition with the company"
 MT. Martin explained that the company had been fair at all times, had given the government title to its properties at Muscle Sholas upon which it had invested $500, 900, for S1, and stood ready and willing to buy the, plant at a flair: value" un- der the option it holds. Unless the plant is sold accordingly, he said, it will have to be removed from the companys property at Warrior, but that never is expected.
 Company Is Accused.
 heated inquiry ensued, during which the committeeman declared firmly his conviction that the com- pany had taken advantage of the government during the exigencies of the war" The contract was tho most unconscionable" he had ever seen signed, he said
 The power company strongly re- scented the inference, emphatically insisting that the contract was fair and had been executed in that form upon the demand of War Depart ment officials at the time it was drafted. Chairman Kahn intervened, and order was restored in the room, where the sharp intercharges of the two had precipitated no little con fusion.
 Secretary Weeks sent the Eng strum proposal to the Senate and the House for reference to the Agri- cultural and Military Committees, respectively. He refrained from making any comment on the offer, leaving the committees to consider it for themselves in connection with those already made by Mr. Ford and the Alabama Power Company.
 Chairman Kahn expects today to conclude hearings next Tuesday on the Ford bid, and to begin imme- diate consideration of the power company's offer.
