not know it there, l must admit that

the Kansas Democrats know I'm a
candidate they will back me up with
solid delegation.

HAS
GOOD REST,HIS
D0CT0RS.SAY
Statement by DR.. Sawyer,
Personal Physician, Indi
Gates Much Improvement.
ALLAYs APPREHENSION
Burning of Light in Sick
Room Causes Many Persons
to Expect Grave News

Presidential Headquarters, Palace
Hotel, San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Pres-
ident Harding had "a restful night"
his second within 48 hours and his
temperature this morning was nor
NAL. An informal statement by Bri-
gadier- General Sawyer, his personal
physician, gave the executives con-
dition at 1855 a. m. as follows:
Temperature 98.6; respiration SO;
pulse no."
DR.. Sawyer's announcement set Mt
rest apprehension which had been ex-
pressed by some of the watchers out
side the presidential suite several
times during the night. These were
based on the fact that light was
observed on in the presidents bed
room where none had burned pre-
viously since he came here.
1t was learned that Commander
Boone, who had spent nearly the
entire night in the sick room, had
caused the light to be kept burning.
NOQrIDhment SOmClent.
The amount Of nourishment taken
by the chief executive yesterday still
was small but as one of the physi-
CLANS said, "quite sufficient" It con-
tinued to consist Of milk, soft boiled
eggs, a little toast, and fruit juices.
Elimination was satisfactory and for
the first time was described as reg
ular."
Another indication Of progress was
that he received his first visitor in
two days, Mrs. E. E. Remsburg, Of
Santa Ana, Cal, his sister. She, with
her daughters, Katherine and Nell
Marie, arrived in San Francisco early
in the day and shortly before noon
she spent several minutes in her
brothers room, but was requested by
the physicians not to talk with him
as it might tire him.
Mrs. Harding, Mrs. Remsburg said,
had stood the strain very we'll. II
was learned from other sources that
Brigadier General Sawyer, the presi-
dents personal physician, and Lieu
tenant Commander Joel T. Boone, as
sistant to DR.. Sawyer, are not un-
mindful that with the lessening Of
the strain, reactive effects Of the
presidents illness might be felt by
Mrs. Harding, who for the past year
has been in far from normal health
Attorney General Daugherty also
arrived during the day, having hur-
ried here from Seattle when the
presidents illness became alarming.
Discuss Future Plans.
Plans for the future following the
restoration. of the preside e n is
strength continued to be discussed by
members of the party, and the plan
seemingly most favored at this stage
is for a return to Washington by
what is commonly known as the over
land route as soon as the president
is we'll able to travel.
There was no attempt to fix any
date for departure from San Fran
cisco.

tain food for serious thought and consideration, the
question arises how best cope with the situation and
bring about improvement IN our moral, material and

gress and development and where is it possible to find
more effective channel for unified effort than

pose of which is community betterment acting in the
pertaining to the community welfare and ready

complish the suggested improvements in existing con-
ditions

AUTOISTS FROM
M A n Y STATES
AT CITY CAMP

AS proof that FL Centre is get

with Is representatives while other
states included Texas, 1; Minnesota,

Iowa, 4; Arkansas, /; Oregon, =
and Montana /. The majority of
the tourists were bound for the
coast, though several were found
who intended to stay in Imperial

Two parties admitted they were
going back east, but one qualified
this information by saying that it
was his intention to dispose of his
holdings there and return to Cali

he plans to remain in the cast and
the other tourists Offered to bet he
would change his mind when he ar
rived back there.
The campers spoke in high terms
of the facilities afforded by the
city at the camping grounds, and
said they were better than those
found in many cities of largcr size
than El Centre. The tourists who
had come here from yuma were
asked their impression of the road
