STRIFE BREWS

MANILA. r. l.. Aug. g. Politics
in the Philippines began brewing
again today after two days suspen.
sion In honor OF the memory OF
President Harding. The feyerish
political activity. which has gripped
the Islands for fortnight, was
abruptly suspended when the news
Of the presidents death reached Ma.
Mia.
To-day. however. while the nations
loss Is still borne distinctly in mind.
the wheels OF politics began once
moro TO revolve. The first move
came when Sumulong announced
that he had accepted the backing OF
the Montinoln democratic party.
The Filipino president made the
next move when he announced that
he and sumulong would not give
their support 90 Gov. Gen. Leonard
Wood. but opposed submitting TO
