HARDING IS
LOSING HIS
GENIALITY
BY JOHN CARSON.
Tunes staff Correspondent

Nv ASHINGTON. June 16.-Presi-
M dent Harding is becoming just
little bit Grabbed When the
President was elected. one OF his most
intimate friends said the country
wanted good old rocking chair
IN go 10 sleep in for four years at
least" and that the country had got
ten its wish.
But the old rocking chair has be
gun 10 show some sharp edges under
the wear and tear Of two years in
the White House Mr.. Harding is
not the kindly. unruff1ed, smooth-tem.
pered. easy going soul he was when
he took mis- oath Of Office.
Every one in Washington who has
come into contact with the President
has recognized that fact. His answers
arc just little briefer. his voice is
just little gruff, he does not hest.
tate when he thinks IT impossible to
please, he indicates that he has a
will of his own. And with IL all the
Presidents face is showing that de.
velopment also, There is a note of
sternness now which was not there
before.
Three times recently the President
has differed with his strongest politi-
cal advisers within his Cabinet. His
differences with Republican Senators
have been almost constant in the last
ten months. The warm political
friends he once satisfied are showing
their dissatisfaction He faces an In
surrection within his party organiza-
ton and more than a little evidence
Of 3 political revolution among the
voters not bound by organized ties.
This condition is not peculiar to
Mr.. Harding, as President. alone. In
variably, about this time in each Ad-
minstration, the President begins to
feel the warp of the dissatisfied. the
CRY of the opposition. And invaIi-
ably he begins to show it
