St. Augustine, Fla, March 2S.--
The arrival today OF Attorney Gen
Daugherty brought the attorney gen.
eral and President Harding together
for the first time since the for,nei
issued statement in Miami ten days
ago predicting that Mr.. Harding
would be a candidate for renomina-
ton.
Consequently there was considera-
BILE interest in the meeting between
the president and the man who acted
as his chief spokesman in the 1920
pre-convention campaign and who
since has been his chief political ad-
wiser.
Disagreements Hinted
This interest was heightened by
evidences Of disagreement, privately
expressed within the last few weeks as
to the wisdom Of an announcements
at this time such as made by the at
torney general. Mr.. Harding has not
had word to say with respect to the
announcement and some republican
leaders now in Florida have expressed
some doubt as to whether the attor-
ney general spoke with the full con-
sent and approval of the president.
Other leaders have presented the view
that Mr.. Daughrty merely made pubic
announcement of what most of the
party leaders had in their minds.
To Fix Responsibility
The president, by his telegra phic
order to the tariff commission yester-
lay to investigate the relation of the
Tariff rates on sugar to the recently
increased sugar prices indicated that
he administration is going to do as
much as it can to fix the responsibility
or the skyrocketing of sugar costs to
consumers. The department of justice
1as an investigation under way and
persons close to the president said 1t
vas safe to say that the sugar price
question would be discussed.
