HARD|NGS HAT IS
IN POLITICAL RING
pAUGHERTY SAYS PRESIDENT
WILL BE RENOMINATED
AND REELECTED.

Miami Beach, Fla.-Prediction that
President Harding will be a candidate
for denomination, will be selected az
the republican standard bearer and
will be reelected, was made here by
Attorney General ~Daugherty, precon'
vention campaign manager for MI.
Harding in 1920, and since then his
chief political adviser.
president Harding will be a candi.
date for denomination" said Attor-
ney General Daugherty. There will
be no other candidate against him
except one, and that n is always a
candidate. He will be re-nominated
and reelected. The country and the
party will demand it, ,
Mr.. Daugherty, who is at Miami
Beach recuperating from his recent
illness made his statement to the
newspaper correspondent with Presi-
len Harding's Florida vacation party,
for whom he sent. The statement is
regarded as by far the most authora-
tive, informal announcement as to
President H%arding's intentions with
respect to 1924 yet made because of
the close relationship between the
chief executive and Mr.. Daugherty
with respect to political matters.
The president and Mr.. Daugherty
had several conferences before the
vacation party left Washington early
this month and they have seen each
other two or three times during the
formers ~three-day visit here. Similar
statements have been made in the last
few months by several republicans
regarded rs close to the president.
Secretary Hoover some months ago
made such a statement in an address
in California and only last month
Senator Watson, Of Indiana, in "A
speech in the senate, predicted that
Mr.. Harding would be a candidate
and would be renominated.
Asked il there was any contingency
under which Mr.. Harding would not
seek another term in the White house,
Mr.. Daugherty said he believed only
an impairment OF the presidents
health would stand in the way.
Touching indirectly on this phase of
the question. Mr.. Daugherty asserted
that the president had passed through
the hardest part of his administration
the period during which the more
far reaching policies must be formu-
lated and the aftermath of the world
war Strengthened out. The time for the
most extensive plans Of the Harding
administration. Mr.. Daugherty said.
