time today, awaiting the verdict OF
Judge Chester L. Ducomb, which is
scheduled to be announced on Sat

gun more than week ago, came
to a close late yesterday, following
completion of closing arguments
by contending counsel.
The improbability of woman in
the position Of Mrs. Tiernan, wife
OF college professor, bringing be-
fore the public the story of her re-
latiOns with another man, unless
the acts actually occurred, was en-
phasized by Prosecutor Jellison in
summing up the case. He asserted
that it had been shown that Mrs
Tiernan's sole motive in bringing
the court action was to make Pou-
lin acknowledge the parentage OF
his own child.
Mrs. Tiernan had "exiled herself
from society, had voluntarily re-
linquished her home, had deprived
herself of her children and the
companionship of her husband, not
for revenge or for money, but be-

jersey Senator, Friend Of Harding,
Gains Sweeping Victory In
Primaries.

Newark, N. J., Sept. 27.-United
States Senator Joseph F. Freling-
huysen, friend Of President Hard
ing, and one of the administration
leaders in congress, was nominated
by the Republicans Of New Jersey
yesterday in sweeping victory of
more than two to one over George
L. Record, Jersey City lawyer.
The senator waged his campaign
on two main issues, prohibition and
the tariff. He did not discuss the
soldier bonus, against which he
voted. And he rarely answered
Records charge that he was SYM
pathetic with monopolies.
In the November elections Sem
ator Frelinghuysen will fight it out
at the polls with Governor Edward
l. Edwards, the Democratic nomi-
nee for United States senator. As
Governor Edwards is the champion
of the "wets," New Jersey voters
expect a warm contest on the~pro
hibition issue.

Albany, IN. Y, Sept. 27.-Early

time protecting the workman's lib

Root said:

test between laborers and employ

share of the new wealth which has
come to mankind through invention

by cutting off the supply of food

public feeling goes the other way.
Two Kinds of Strikes.

HARDINCIS
SICK OF JOB,
RUM0R SAYS
Lawrence Explains It Isn't
Novel Feeling for
Presidents.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus

(Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 27.-An insid-
ious tale-and by, insidious one
means politically dangerous-is go
ing the rounds among Republicans
here and elsewhere in Ohio to the
effect that President Harding is SO
tired Of his job that in due time he
will announce that he will not ac-
cept a denomination for the presi-
dency.
The story has this basis: Many
of those political pilgrims from the
presidents home state who have
been to Washington have come back
here with gossip that Mr. Harding
found the presidency a super-hu-
man task and that it was wearing
him out. Those who know from
past experience with American
presidents how they feel in the first
two years will bear testimony that
President Harding's attitude is not
novel. 1t was in the first year of
Mr.. Wilson's first administration
that he exclaimed to a group of
callers that he never could under
stand how any one in his right
senses could ever seek the presi-
dency.
Party VIII ~Draft" Him.
Yet the question OF denomination
was not personal with Mr.. Wilson
any more than it will be Mr.. Hard
ing. The party decides the matter.
Mr.. Harding was drafted in 1920
he had made no campaign for the
nomination-and he will be drafted
again if the party chieftains think
he should be. The only effect of
this story at this time is to under
mine the political strength Of Mr..
Harding with his own party. There
has been Of course distinct loss
of ground by the president. He is
personally popular but not as much
before the rail and coal strikes. 1t
is natural for those with whom the
wish is father to the thought to be-
gin talking of some one else for the
presidential nomination and it is
inevitable that the talk of another
should be predicated on what
seems to them plausible assump-
tion that President Harding him
self will not wish to run. 1t is al
ways conceded that il Mr.. Harding
sought denomination the party
would be embarrassed if it refused.
Thompson Will Win.
The reaction against the Harding
administration is noticeable but
surface indications are that it
hasn't reached the point Of real
danger to the Republicans as yet.
