candidate Of the democrats. Former Governor Cary A. Hardee declared that Ritchie is lin . strategic posi- tion and would make . better conn., promise candidate for the democrats than any other"
 Governor Ritchie is from g south ern state which has prided itself on its freedom and it's maintenance of state integrity. The south. however, seems to have way of thinking of Maryland as an eastern rather than a southern state. It will take more than one weeks headlining to make the south sufficiently aware of the Maryland governor to instruct its delegates for him.
 His utterances at the governors conference are probably, however. but the beginning of his campaign. Apparently his championing of states rights and farm relief there was carefully thought out, and plan- ned for announcement at strategic time, at meeting which would get nationwide publicity. Had he made his proposals for House of Cover nors" and for farm relief at some local gathering. no matter where, he would not have received the front page publicity given him as result of his speeches at Mackinac island.
 Fight For South
 From now until the convention finally selects it's candidate in 1928, the battle is on between Governor Ritchie and Senator Reed, with the southern and middle western dele gates as the prize for which they are fighting. They are campaigning in different manner for support on identical issues.
 Reed is the more dashing fighter and the more impressive personality. Even those who disbelieve in the causes he espouses and doubt his sincerity in espousing them never fail to pay him just tribute as an able and admirable fighter. Ritchie is less spectacular and less oratori- cal, but he is not lacking in vigor and lucidity.
 Reed makes friends more easily, and likewise makes enemies more easily.
 It is certainly to Ritchie's advan- tage in the south that he has not Reeds record of opposition to Wood row Wilson.
 With both of them running on the same platform, personality and vote- getting ability are likely to be the determining factors in deciding which--if either-of these two men will win the south and the middle west.

 differences From Geneva

Washington, Aug. 3 R>-The sug. gestion made by certain European observers that President Coolidge's statement as to his candidacy might be connected with the situation at the Geneva naval conference has been waved aside at the state de- partment There could be no pos sible significance attached to the presidents statement insofar as its bearing on the conference deadlock was concerned, it was said.

accessible, members of the presi- dents part contended themselves with disc ussing their own views of the unprecedent development and with looking forward to what bear ing the statement might have on the remainder of the summer here. There was in Rapid City gen. eral concensus that yesterdays statement would be all. If the state ment actually means that Mir. Cool idge intends to retire from the White House March 4, 1929, no mat fer what pressure may be brought to bear upon him, it was held that even so. little information could be expected as to his plans when he would be relinquished from office.
 While there were some who pro- fessed to see in the announcement a determination to avoid the 1928 campaign. others took the express sion of Senator Capper, of Kansas, a White House guest, as their im- pression of the situation.
 The Kansas senator drove with Mir. Collage to the game lodge im- mediately after the statement was issued and just before leaving the Black Hills said at Custer. s. D., that he considered the situation un- changed.
 T have not discussed the presi- dents statement with him." he said. but I cannont see that the an- nouncement materially changes the situation. 1t places the responsibility squarely with the republican party as to the choice of nominee next year"
 Senator Norbeck. of this state. who was also present at the execu- tive offices about the time the state ment was issued, could only say after he was informed of its con- tents that T am surprised"
 There Is nothing here to indicate that the statement will cause any change in MT. Coolidge's activity in the Black Hills where he expects to romain until the first week in Sep tember. He has planned two more trips into neighboring areas before returning to Washington and no doubt will take advantage of few others should occasion arise.

with him in his League of Nations scheme, and now it looks as though Coolidge has been 'knifed' by the failure of the Geneva conference.
 We have no reason to doubt the sincerity with which Coolidge took the initial steps in the cause of dis armament. but the big navy parties on both sides of the Atlantic have been too strong for him." Surprise To Europe
 Berlin, Aug. 3 R-President Coo lidge's announced disinclination to run for reelection will surprise Flu rope quite as much as America, says the Berliner Tegeblatt, republican organ, especially as he had mot un- dertaken to head off the movement in the United States which regarded his renewed candidacy as a foregone conclusion"
 Conference Failure Cause?
 The paper is inclined to link up the presidents change of mind" with the prospective collapse of the tripartite naval conference at Gen. eva, which was organized on his in- vitation.
 There is no evidence at hand, il says, to show that his renunciation was promoted by internal issues; therefore it would seem that 1t was the result of a pessimistic mood, occasoned by the Geneva impasse. <"
 Prestige Impaired
 The Vossische Zeitung, another republican paper, believes MT. Coo- lidge succumbed to pressure from within his own party. Popular an- tipathy to 8 so-called third term, discontent on the part of the farm ers' bloc and the prospective col- lapse of the Geneva conference, which it designates as "a flasco," combined,to convince the president, the papers says, that his prestige as a candidate was impaired.
 To Influence Congress7
 The Lokal Anzeiger, nationalist, hazards the guess that MT. Coolidge, "either actually lost his desire to serve another term owing to the fail- ure of the disarmament proposals, or he may wish to exert pressure on congress, which just before the presidential election will have tt pass some very unpopular expendi- tures."

Coolid6eS Statement Comes as
 Perplexin6 Foreign Problem

London, Aug. 3 P1British off, cial circles gave almost as much at tention today to President Coolidge's announcement that he does not choose to run in 1928 as they did to the hurriedly convened cabinet meeting to consider the Geneva Naval conference crisis.
 The presidents bald statement was generally interpreted as having some relation to the Geneva impasse, out British officials with experience in American affairs discounted the connection. One official who has had considerable experience in the United States, expressed the opinion that the announcement was more the result of the domestic situation than anything that has happened at Geneva.
 Can Not Read Riddle
 The Star, liberal paper, editorially remarks that the presidents an- nouncement has bewildered "the New York experts" and that conse- quently it is not surprising that Lon don finds it ''very difficult to read the riddle of this Yankee sphinx"
 Tt seems,' the paper continued. that America's presidents fall be- cause of their virtues and not their vices. Roosevelt, when he became the trust-buster, was not reelected; Wilson fell because he was not able to carry the country and the senate

PEASANTS WANT

ports abroad that elniSsarieS OF the
national peasant party had gone 10
Paris TO induce former Crown Prince
Carol to abndon Mime. Lupescu ana
assume the kingship OF Rumanla
next January" it is certain that
the Rumanian government Will reslsi
to the utmost any attempt to reopen
the law of succession OF January a.
This law, it is declared, has removed
forever any possibility OF Carols be-
coming king
Reports of Carols break with Nine. :
Lupescu and his alleged intention 70
return to Rumania seem to be taken
much more seriously abroad than IN
Rumania, where the whole dynastic
question is considered as settled r.
revocably
Competent unbiased political Oh,
servers say that When King Ferdin-
and died, the Carolist movement dled
also. They say that whatever popu-
1arity the prince enjoyed with the
army and a few politically minded
peasants prior to the kings death
has evaporated. The Rumanian people
as whole appear to have taken
to heart Ferdinand's dying words that
Carols return would be disastrous to
the country
It is felt by disinterested foreign
residents in Rumania that any move
to bring the disinherited prince back
would meet with scant popular ap-
proval, except among the avowed
political adversaries of Premier Brat
ianu.
All disinterested observers are
agreed that the sole purpose OF any
attempt of the opposition leaders to
restore Carol would be fore the pur-
pose OF destroying Bratianu's position
and not because of any love OF the
Rumanian people for the erratic and
eccentric prince. These friends OF
Rumania believe that Carols rein
statement would cause profound pol
itical instability and constitute a
danger to Runania for long time
If Carol has severed relations with
Mime. Lupescu, as some Paris dis
patches say, Queen Marie says she
is wholly unaware of it. Carol writes
regularly to the queen and his sister,
Queen Marie of Jugo-Slavia, but in
none of his recent letters, it is learn
ed, has there been any hint OF
separation from Lupescu or intention
of returning to Ruman1a at the
bidding Of the national peasants
party.
Indeed, time and again in these
letters, the prince has given his
mother assurance that he will make
no attempt to re-enter Rumania il
legally or secretly. His mother be-
lieves him, saying: II have sufficient
confidence in him as son and prince
to know that he will keep his word"

to his status by eating an average
breakfast, and making the usuaI visits
to Chicago's centers OF interests un-
der the escort of a reporter for the
Chicago Herald and Examiner, whose
guest he is while here
Roy L. Gray of Fort Madison, Iowa,
named the average man following a
national survey, displayed only aver
age interest in the worlds busiest cor
ner, State and Madison streets, say
ing it reminded him of Saturday night
in his home town, where he operates
clothing store.
Gray ate an average breakfast, toast,
eggs and coffee, and smoked the Gus
tomary cigaret. He got an average
shave and paid the average tip of Is
cents and conversed with the barber
about the average topic the nice fall
weather.
Sauntering out to begin an active
day, Gray first bought picture post
card Of the. hotel where he slept and
put a cross at his room on the 40th
floor before sending it home to his
family
"This is where 1 slept. Having
good time but wish you all were here"
his average message said.
The program he. outlined for the

husband was selected as the average
man and was highly pleased to have
him receive the trip to Chicago. Mrs
Gray, who maintains the average
home and the average family OF four
prefers to include herself IN the
average classification also.
"We have been very satisfied and
contented here in our home, which
we have always considered to be
Just average" Mrs. Gray said today,
"and I am very proud to have this
honor come to MIR. Gray.
y"While naturally we have been
striving for just a little bit more
in life, more money could not have
made us any more happy or con-
tented
Mr.. Gray, she firmly believes, IS
an average man, representative Of
what American manhood stands for.
He has no especial qualities to make
him outstanding, she believes.
Mrs. Gray, is not so sure, however,
that she wants her children to follow
the example set by Mr.. Gray and
to be ''just average" as a mother
she dreams of greater things for
them.

regarding the proposed postponement.
Governor Hunts reply said:
ss'The Arizona commission has heard
nothing directly from representatives
either of California or Nevada, but
through Mr.. Talley, who is in New
York, it was learned late yesterday
that suggestion has been made for
postponement of November 7th meet
ing to allow opportunity for tri-state
conference on power.
"Arizona has at all times been
ready and willing to discuss the power
question to a conclusion, was prepared
tc do so before leaving Denver, and
is ready and willing to do SO now.
"We realize the futility Of the Nov

be a closer approach to an under
standing than the California attitude
at Denver indicated and, that being
the case, we are willing that the
conference be deferred until evidence
appears that California is prepared
to seriously discuss the power question
on the basis of principles adopted"
