Friends Begin Campaign TO
Assure Harding of Re-
nomination at COnven.
ton in 1924.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-LPl-Con.
vinced that half a dozen aspirants
already are making cautious overtures
to test their strength as republican
presidential possibilities for 1924. some
OF the friends of President Harding
have begun work to assure him q
denomination.
Thus far the movement on behalf of
the president has not reached the pro.
portions of closely candidate organi-
zation, but it has progressed to the
point where 1t promises to make
itself felt in many states before the
coming summer is well begun.
The attitude of Mr.. Harding him
self toward a second term remains
unannounced, and it is considered I'M
probable that he will make any pub
lie statement of his intentions, at
least in the near future. There is
quite general agreement among those
on the inner circle of Washington
politics, however, that desire for
public endorsement of his steward.
ship will impel him to stand for re-
election.
Friends at Work.
1t is upon this presumption, at any
rate, that those who want TO see him
remain in the White House for an.
other four years, are proceeding. In
cluded In the group of friends who
have been in conference here are some
of the men who led the successful
preconvention campaign of 1920 and
some who came over to the Harding
ranks from other camps after the
convention was over. As a result, the
ultimate lineup OF the Harding forces
of 1924 Is expected TO resemble only
in part the organization that fought
and triur' pned in Tho nomination fight
OF three years ego.
Attorney General EA~ggherty. Who
was the convention manager for
Mr.. Harding in 1920, Is expected to
again take hand in urging a re-
nomination. But for several 4 Teasons
Mr.. Daugherty is not expect < by his
friencs to be as active as in 1920.
His health recently failed him. re-
quiring him to remain in bed for sey-
eral weeks and although he has virtu-
ally recovered he can not take the
burden of travel and conference
which would fan upon an active cam
paign manager. Besides his official
duties are expected TO preclude him
from being long absent from Wash
ington.
Several Mentioned as Leader.
Several men who have long been
prominent in party affairs have been
mentioned as available for the more
strenuous work Of organization
Charles d. Hilles. former national
chairmans Is one OF thise so acon-
yiderod. but he has made no statement
as to what part he would be willing
to take in the present convention
work Recently Mr.. Hiiies conferred
with the president and together they
visited Ir. Daugherty.
In the background of these con
siderations lies also the question Of
who is 10 manage the republican cam.
paign after the nomination has been
made. The supporters Of John T..
Adams, the present national chair.
man, say they expect him TO retain
that post regardless OF the result Of
the nominating convention. Discus
sions here recently have brought TO
light however an attempt by the
friends of VIII II. Hays, who man
aged the 1920 campaign. to reinstate
him in the cnairmanship.

BERLIN, May 15.-Germany will
follow the advice Of Great Britain and
make a new Preparations offer to
France
Chancellor Cuno and his cabinet
ministers, who conferred on Britain's
answer to the thirty billion gold marks
PREPARATIONS offer, are inclined to be
Gispleased with the tone of the note,
which is regarded In governmental
circles as an "unwarranted rebuke"
to Germany.
Despite this. the Berlin government
apparently realizes the soundness of
the advice Of Britain and has ordered
experts to start the draft Of a new
reparations offer 1t is anticipated
IT. viii be some weeks before the new
proposal Is drafted. as the government
is placed in the embarrassing position
Of having TO increase her offer despite
the fact that 1t has gone on record
as declaring that thirty billion marks

Jay.
Cuno, 1t IS understood. is keenly dis
appointed at tho reception Of the sua-
gestion that an international commits

this idea, which was first suggested

tary Of State Hughes. would be warm
