HARDING WILL

IN CAMP AIGNS
Does Not Think 1t in Harmony

Write a Few Letters.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Because
hc does not think it is in harmony
with good ethics President Harding,
whose political future is involved in
the outcome Of the November election,
will take very little part in the cam
paign.
For the President to leave Wash
ington and take the stump does not
strike Mr. Harding as being in keep
ing with presidential dignity and
prestige.
1t was suggested a few weeks ago
that the President might go to Ohio
his home State where the issue is
stand by the President''-to make
an address or two, but the proposal
was vetoed at the White House.
Refuses Request
Newell Sanders, a Republican wheel
Horse. candidate for Senator from
Tennessee, asked the President to
visit Knoxville in his behalf. In his
reply the President wrote:
Il do not think it in harmony with
good ethics for the President to par
ticipate in campaign during his in
cumbency II office"
He also reminded Mr.. Sanders that
if he spoke in Tennessee other candi-
dates would desire that he speak in
their states and that such a campaign
would be out of the question, even
though there We're no ethics involved.
The Presidents attitude, however, is
not one of disinterest. To the con
trary he is keeping in close touch with
developments. He is advising with
Republican chieftains and in the case
of Ohio, he personally invited former
Senator Beverage of Indiana-who
incidentally defeated Senator Harry
New, Harding's close friend for a sec
ond term-fOrmally to open the State
campaign.
May Write Letters
Before the campaign ends the
President may write letter or two or
issue a few statements which will be
utilized as official utterances from the
head of the Republican party.
The Republican national committee
may arrange also-as it did at Marion
two years ago-fOr delegations of i'm
portant citizens to visit him at the
White House where they will learn
what the President thinks Of the is
sues of the campaign.

SPECTATORS IN

Stock Exchange Operators
Joke and Laugh During Hear

By E. M THIERRY
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-When is a
gambler not a gambler?
The answer Is: When he is
specializing in the grain or stock ex-
change.
That's what the Federal trade
commission found out when it ex-
amined such men as Julius Barnes.

more, Wall Street operator.
The commission was trying to find
oui-and still is-whether there was
manipulation of the grain market in
the sharp slump of 1920 and 1921.
The scene was a solemn courtroom,
but the solemnity ended there. Com
missioners and witnesses snapped
Jokes across the table, and the
stenographers paused every little
while so the laughter wouldn't get
into the solemn record.
Everybody laughed at each others
jokes. Like these:
why should the Chicago board of
trade change the rules of grain trad
ing?" asked Commissioner Victor
Murdoch. the red-haired ex-congress-
man from Kansas. You wouldn't
like that in poker-to haYe the aces

And yet you bar poker" doomed
Murdoch, laughing triumphantly.

It am not A gambler. I am a
speculative investor" said Livermore.
The fun wasn't spoiled when Giver-

a gambler and a Spectator. That
gambler buys any old stock and
prays the market will go his way.
while a Spectator studies the mar
ket and forecasts the future
Nothing could he clearer than

reason everybody thought the speaker
was Joking.

Commissioners and witnesses shook
hands all around, complimented each
other on their jokes, and anot' er

When It comes to instrumental

He thinks that jazz has a rhythm,

tributions to music and that the
trouble with jazz usually IS the play

It must stun materialists, this sug

for jazz, it is a good principle ruined
