ment of better home, community and
social conditions.

tension agents to perform for indivi
dual farmers or for organizations the

keting or the various activities neces
sary to the proper conduc'. Of business

lntorna Revenue blair and Mr. Dover.
in which Mellon viGorougiy sided with
Blair. President Harding was obvi
ously irrtatcd over the attacks on tho
bureau Of Engraving house CLEANING,
but he continued the oven tenor of hi
way and most Of the wise men on
Capitol Hill, betting on political prece-
dents AS usual. figured that Mr.. Dover
was only experiencing a temporary de
lay and before long would be brushing
the Wilson aprointces from office. re-
placing them with men who had worked d
for the election Of Harding and. Incl
dontallN. of course. for tho election Of
tho Senators and members of tho House
IN question.
Hence the bitter disappointment to-
night on Capitol Hill. where it had
been assumed, no matter what the sit
uatlon appeared to be for the moment,
final victory was bound to rest with
Dover.
MIR. Mellon is interested in politics.
but he Is interested as are most bank
ers and business mon. He is horrihed
at tho idea Of politicians naming peo-
pie who will form a part Of an orcani-
zation he Is supposed to run, especially
II that particular business he is sup
posed to run happens to be of a fnan-
Clai character.
Incidentally Mr. Mellon iS not in q
particularly good humor with most of
the members Of the House and Senate.
He has explained TO them. time and
time again, that it is bad economies
bad banking. in short-for this coun-
try TO grant the soldier bonus at this
time. But for reasons which Mr. Mel
lon clearly secs to be political the
Senators and members of the House
don't seem to care part tcuIarly wheth
er the Treasury is wrecked or not so
long as they do what they consider
the wise political thing and vote for
the bonus.
Mr.. Mellon feels that they would be
lust as reckless Of the Treasury De-
partm"nt organization as OF the Treas
ury itself that they would willingly
wreck It if they could be advantaged
politically by that action. This he is
determined shall not happen.

'o'ncldcnt with the departure OF
William Randolph Hearst for F,urone
yesterday, friends Of r. H. La (;uardia
or whom the editor politician con-
Stantly expresses admiration, intimated d
that the former Pres dent Of the Board
OF Aldermen would run for Governor
on the Farmer-Labor and Single Tax
tickets. Mr.. Hearst mas promised to
give the support Of his newspapers to
Mr.. La Guardia if he enters the race
against Governor Miller, according to
the well-lnformed.
ms was hinted at by the editor
politician in the first words he uttered
when inte rvieWcd on the Aouitania
yesterday:
y would like to see progressive
democrat nominated and a progressive
Republican nominated"
linen Mr.. Hearst added that his
en- oice for the head Of the Republican
ticket would be Mr.. La Guarda. and
ne would like to see Mayor Hvlau
named BY the Democrats.
Mr. hearst was reminded that his
cHann1dacy ca was more to the fore than
Mayor HyLan's.

ncrs (the director of the Hearst nr nn.
utica forces) says that Circumstance,
compel me to be candidate. d;aer
with him. think Mayor Hvlan can
be nominated and will be nominated
ana | refuse to discuss the candidacy
of anybody else, including myself, until
that is definitely decided"
1t Is an open secret that Mr.. Ia
Guardia has been out cunning for
some ono or something for some time.
RE has urged more than one promin-
ent Republican to enter the race
against Governor Miller and boasted
that he controlled a large number Of
delegates.
Mr.. La Guardia declined to say if
he. would be a candidate yesterday, but
said that he would make formal dc.
mands pf Governor Miller and the
party leaders to pledge themselves 10
complete restoration of the direct
primary system end to other measures
which he considers progressive and
have them incorporated in the party
platform.
Says He Never Met Hearst
Such demand. or request, would not
be met, s 1t would mean a repudiatjon
of the law signed by Governor Miller
repeating the direct primaries in part.
And Immediately on its refusal Mr.. La
Guardia will announce his opposition to
the Republican ticket and campairn
against it,
When informed Of the report that hu
would receive Hearst support if he ran
