LEAGUE T0 BE AW ISSUE IN CONNECTICUT Connecti- A senatorial campaign in. cut with the league of nations as an issue, seems to be a possibility. ‘With the nomination of Hiram Bingham, until recently Yale pro- fessor and now t, by the Republicans and of Holt of Woodstock, former editor of the New York Independent, and nationally known advocate of the League of Nations, by the Demo- crats practically assured, the two major parties met in state conven- tions today to select candidates to succeed the late Frank B. Brande- gree as United States senator. The epublicans are holding thelr con- vention in Hartford and the Demo- crats meet here. A special election will be held December 16.

Mrs. Harding Was First “Assistant air ‘currents, and thus President” In Spirit if Not Name By ROBERT T. SMALL. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.— Not gntil some woman is elected presi- dent of the United States in her own right will, the White House know again so keen a feminine politician ag Mrs. Florence Kling Harding. There has been discussion from time to time of creating some such office as “assistant president” in order that the chief executiye may be relieved of a few of hfs enor- mous burdens. Mrs. Harding was in fact the first “assistant president.” To her War- ren Harding turned in all of his perplexities. He! turned to find her not merely a- sympathetic wife, but 2 clear-minded analyst, a student of |. character,’ a far-visioned psycholog- tet. Mrs. Harding was. particularly keen about cause and effec’ Judgment seldom went astra: Mrs. Harding was not a woman who played at politics among wo- meri. She was not a part or parcel of the new political movement. Her poltical battles were waged with the men—with the best of men—the so-called leaders of their time. Flor- ence Harding loved nothing better than an impromptu debate with Henry Cabot Lodge. He, in particu. seemed to whet her wit to its est cutting edge and to stimu- her brain to its highest power ion. President Harding ing better than to sit by as a sort of an impartial referee at these discussions, a confident smile ‘on “his. face ing the oan ce, he reposed in the ‘better rae the Harding family. There was no.‘thought in 3irs. Harding’s mind at any time that she had to be a politician as an aid to her president-husband. She was interested in politics simply because she could not he'p herself. She al- ways resented the slightest intima- tion that Warren Harding was not capable of making up and express- ing his own will. She has taken ‘| mary a-writer to task for an inti- mation elong that line. Mrs. ing played the political game be- cause it was exciting, because she knew far more about it than the average politician and because as a senator or as a president, she could have held her own with the best of those who have held these offices. —— FOR RADIO— Bae COLUMBIA IGNITOR!

She had her own estimate of every man prominent in public Hfe. She asked no aid in forming her opinions. Once formed, these opinions were firmly. set and there was no.one to say they were far behind the mark. Probably every wife would look forward with untrammeled pleasure to being the first lady of the land. In the very title Mes the expres- sion of every wifely attribute, thi good hourekeeper, the perfct host, the unquestioned leader of America’s cial strata. Mrs. Harding saw the hite House in an -entirely differ. ent light. Not strong enough to ter politics herself, she played at the game through Warren Harding. She was happy wi! Warren Hard- ing. was a state senator. Sho was happler still when he was lieuten- ant governor of his state. Her ambi- tions received a temporary setback when he was defeated for governor. But then followed the triumph of Warren Harding's election to the United States senate. Here in Wash- ing found full.play for her polit- ical knowledge.’ The Hardings, in their senatorial days, gathered about them a happy company, in which men predominated, but in which there were some other clever femi- nine intellects. One thing that drew Mrs. Harding, the “Duchess,” 0 close to Mrs. Ned McLean was that iy, fot in Mrs. McLean a foe- jan worthy of ‘her Steel. “Mrs. McLean, too; is a keen reader, a close follower of national and. inter- national events with an opinion ‘of her own as to the statesmen, great and near-great, who inhabit capitol hill. At the McLean home ‘“Friend- ship” there was a sort of continu- ing political salon, dating back to the. senatorial days. A third fami- nine member of the circle was Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Mrs. Harding found so much to her liking in the life of Washing- “| ton that she had hesitated to go back to the narrower mits of Mar- ion, although there she had her o'd- est and dearest friends. From every point of view, Mrs. Florence Harding was a_ brillant meteor in Washington life. But like the meteor, which flames in hot in- tensity only to pass quickly into ob- livion, Mrs. Harding’s race is run. History, however, will give her a higher place, perhaps, thn that to which her most ardent admirers had felt her entitled, PRESIDENT NOT EXTAA SESSION Question to Rest on Emery Dee By DAVID LAWRENC?. ‘| (Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Prees | Association) WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—While President Coolidge {s disinclined to call an extra session ‘of congress after next March 4, he is not de- finitely committed to such a policy. |” The question ~ becomes pertinent now, in ‘view of the widespread: in- terest in the administration's policy with reference to the revision. The impression has gone out that the country must wait until the winter of 1926 for itesnext cut in taxes, nearly a year and a half after the overwhelming Republican victory {n which the Mellon tax plan and tax reform itself was an issue. But the administration’ did not tn- tend that its announcement of un- willingness to tackle tax reform un- til after the receipts from the pres- ent law are known in the March or April next should’ be taken {n con- function with the more or leas un- certain question of calling congress into session. ‘The treasury {es insistent that tire present law should be given « chance to work. Senator Smoot, chairman of the finance comimit- tee, says the treasury will ‘know definitely how productive the new law has been yaen the income tex ‘|| returns are filed. next\March drive the’ ship. Just how this is 15, ‘Many newspaper ciltorials «have raised: the quary aa to why the ad- n_then wants to walt till the December ‘session of congress which «means action in the winter pot 1936 before passing a joint reso- ution’ giving ¢! texpayers the bermefit of any surplus that’ may be known to be ‘accumulating ‘as soon aa\the tax returns are known next March 15. , - Suppose, for example, it should develop on April'l next-that a sur.

Taxa tion and agricultural legislation ar: the two:problems which may de velop. that pressure and form the President's policy. There is every reason to believe from the informal estimates made thus far that surplus will be “ap: parent next April, provided, of course, congress hasn't exceeded the budget ‘soon to be laid before it by the president. If the taxpayers are content to forget the money that might be-refunded to them apd let {t go for a year. or #0, then an ex- tra session can be dismissed as im- Probable. But the mood of taxpay- rswhen there.is a surplus that can refunded, to them is something to forecast’ and the probability of an extra session of congress J seem to be strong, especially conditions in the for the year 1924 greater than een anticipated. As for agricultural relief, the commission appointed by the presi dent is taking {ts time, and does not expect to complete its job till the December, 1925, session, but there may be an acute situation In the livestock industry or in some other farm product which may call for earlier action than would be pos sible if the next regular session of 1925 1s awgited.
