c. 0. P. CONVENTION
OUTLOOK ALTERED
BYHARD|NC DEATH
Old Guard, Progressive and
Radical Groups Seen in
Fight for Control.
BY the Associated Press.

President Harding's death throws
new complexities into the political
situation within the republican party,
reaching reflections in the national
convention of next year.
1t probably will turn what many
expected to be merely a ratification
meeting into a contest for the re-
publican presidential nomination, with
the stalwart conservative republican
forces aligned on the one side and
the forces represented by such lead
ers as Senators Johnson of California.
Borah of Idaho and La Toilette of
Wisconsin on the other.
World Court Created Issue.
Six months ago the denomination
of President Harding without any
substantial contest seemed assured.
One of the men who was regarded as
his likely principal opponent for the
nomination had confessed to a COL
league and friend that he found him
self without an issue. sr..
The Presidents pronouncement for
entry of the United States into the
world court, however. altered the sit
uation materially, and during the last
few weeks there has come definite in
formation through the mysterious
channels by which political captains
maintain their intelligence systems
that all was not going to be as clear
sailing as had been expected in the
republican national convention of
1924. and there might be a contest
after all
Harding Often Worried.
There were days of encouragement
in the first eighteen months of Presi-
dent Harding's occupancy of the pres
idential chair, and on many occasions
he expressed to close friends his won
derment why anybody wanted to be
President, with its trials and tribula-
tions and "the thanklessness of the
job"
In one moment of disgust and dis
couragement, Mr.. Harding had said
20 a close political friend and asso-
ciate who had been held in reserve in
the dark horse list during the conven-
tion of 1920:
DO you want this Job next time?
If you do, it's yours as far as j am
concerned-Ill be for you"
But his friends urged him to put
discouragements aside and carry on.
Mrs. Harding also always urged him
to put away thoughts Of stepping

SENATOR APPROVES
BALL0U RETENTION
Harrison Says Many on Capt.
toll Hill Favor Step;
Hits Vacations.

The reelection OF Supt. Ballou of
the District public schools will be
very pleasing to many of the friends
of the school system on Capitol HILL"
said Senator Pat Harrison of Mis-
sissippi, democrat, yesterday after
noon. Senator Harrison has for n
number of years taken a keen inter-
est in the District schools. and had
large part in the senatorial in
vestigation of the schools, which was
held as a result of a resolution adopt
ed by the Senate.
II am glad that the school system
here and the situation with regard
to schooling for the children of the
District is improving" added Senator
Harrison. Il believe. however. that
deal very generously with the schools.
Would Cut Holidays.
"One matter which, in my opinion,
school board has to do with holidays
for the school children during the
school year. To my mind, far too
many holidays are given, making it
necessary to extend the school year.
Why is it necessary to give two
days at another? 1t would be far
better to have a day or two holiday
instead. and thus make 1t possible to
shorten the school year and accom-
pltsh the same amount Of work.
There really is no good reason tina [
1 can see for these long holidays
during the winter and spring
There are many persons who are
kept here until the latter part of
June because their children are at
tending school who would return to
their homes the LIST OF June if the
school year could be shortened"
Leaves Capital.
Senator Harrison left Washington
late yesterday on a lectuer and speak
ing tour which will continue for the
next four months and will take him
into every part of the country 1t Is
expected that he will study the po-
litical situation closely the country
over. He is intent upon the selection
of a democratic nominee for President
at the next democratic national con-
vention who will be available in
every sense of the word.
