U, s, MAY SEND REPRESENTATIVE
 TO WAR FARLEY

Washington, Sept. 21 = The United States. while holding strictly aIoof from the poIIticaI suuabbIes and intrigues that have brought Europe to the verge of another war, probably will be represented at the Near East peace conference soon to be held in Rome or Venice, it was said today in official quarters.
 The American repreSentarIons, however, would be confined solely to an unofficial observer would take no direct part in the con- ference itself nor have any power of commitment in behalf of the American government Such observation would be made entirely for the information ana Suidance of this government and would be conducted along the lines followed by the American observer at the Genoa economic conference last March.
 Definite action in this respect probably will await the return to Washington of Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes, now en route from South America.
 If the conference is held in Rome or Venice. as indicated in London dispatches, it is not inn probable that Richard Washburn Italy, will be designated. Am nassador Child was the American ssunofficiaI observer at Genoa, and was said today to De thor oughIy familiar with the policy of the United States in these I,olitico-economfc squabbleS in Europe.

country by declaring that seats in the

My spirits rose with the thought as 1

kENYoN'S APPOINTMENT n BLOW
AT THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.

The far-reaching effects OF Senator
Kenyon's appointment to a judgeship
may also be surmised in connection
with the talk of a third party move
ment for 1924, growing out of the pres
ent agrarian discomfort. Wherever this
subject has been discussed, the name
OF Senator Kenyon has invariably been
mentioned as the probable presidential
| nominee of the third party if it shall
! mature That the conditions for the
formation of third party are as ripe
now as they were in 1910, when the
west was in revolt against the reac-
tionary element of the republican

observers, and the idea is propag gated
and spread by even such prominent

bold, who has devoted much space to
that subject lately.
Senator Kenyon, of course, was not
the only man In the agricultural group
who might be deemed worthy of presi-
Dental nomination, but he had the
particular quality OF leadership that
made him the logical leader OF all the
elements in revolt against the repub-
lican party.
If President Harding could put the
agricultural bloc out Of business he
would at the same time destroy the
| nucleus Of the third party movement.
So far, President Harding has devoted
much of his time. almost all of his
time, in fact, to holding the discordant
elements Of his party together. He has
been as busy with party politics as
President Wilson was with stateman-
| ship. 1t is logical TO assume, therefore.
that he has seen that small black cloud
OF the third party. no larger than a
mans hand in the political sky.
Be that as 1t may. there is one fac
| tor in the situation that apparently is
overlooked-the agriculturists them
selves. They are the men who consti-
| tute the real opposition to the reac-
tionary element of the republican
party. and they are in no mood to be
| denied. Moreover, they are not likely
to be fooled by the smooth political
moves that lure away their leaders, be-
cause they know they have nothing
substantial to expect from a reaction
airy administration and a republican
congress controlled by reactionaries.
