As per custom, the correspondents had handed in written questions. as they filed into the room. and it was upparent President picked up the the subject of politics s he s which during his tion trip. The question asked of Mr. Harding whether he intended to have Chalrman Lasker of the United States Shipping Board, who is to resign the middle of June, become manager of 1he 1924 campaign. This was the cue. Jt was provoked by a recent news- paper story to that effect. The con- «ersation which followed cannot un- der the rules be given. but the cor- respondents went away Wwith these impressions: Lasker Not Approached. First, that the President has the highest regard for Chairman Lasker and believes he has done a most un- | selfish work which will stand out in history, but the question of Mr. Lask- er's relationship to the next campaign had not been discussed with him or anybody else. Second, the President wanted ever 0 much to go to Alaska, as he be- lieved the conflict of opinion between the Department of Interior and De- partment of Agriculture was such that *administrative processes in Alaska were impeded and the development of the region itself retarded; that his ex- perience in visiting the Panama Canal Zone just before inauguration was of immense value and had indirectly re- sulted in an economy to the govern- ment of hundreds of thousands of gol- lars; that he believed in direct con- 1act by administrative officials and be- lieved it was his real duty to go.to Alaska. Third, that any trip to Alaska nec- essarily involved a transcontinental journey, and any journey of that kind .inevitably required the making of a few Temarks en route—speeches un- der those circumstances are unavoid- able, but that he would not go to Alaska or across the continent if the newspapers insisted on making of him « candidate for office; that he had a big work to do and that he felt com- mitted to his_presidential tasks and ought not to be thrust into_the role of a_candidate, and that' a President should have at least three years un- interrupted by that sort of thing, and .that now was not the time to talk politics, so if he could go to Alaska without political _embarrassments along the way he would make a few speeches and discuss in a non-partisan way some of the important problems ‘before the country, such as, for ex- ample, the railroad question. Daugherty Affair Ignored. Not a word was sald ar implied concerning the announcement made *at Miami Beach by Attorney General Daugherty, who, on the occasion of the President's visit there, called the newspapermen and told them he be- lieved Mr. Harding would be renomi- nated and re-elected. It was this announcement which led the news- papermen to revive the subpect of presidential politics at this early date, but there again one is not justi- fled in interpreting the President’s observations as a rebuke to his At- torney General, for the latter insists now that he did not intend se much significance to be attached to his ut- terance. He did tell the scribes at Miami that he was not talking for the President, and he went further a day or o later and said he hadn’t even discussed the question of & newspaper statement with the chief executive. His whole object was to squelch boomlets of would-be nomi- nees in opposition to Mr. Harding. Other Booms Squelched. The practical result has been to notify republicans everywhere that Mr. Harding is in the lists and that 10 opposition need be drummed up on the theory that he will volun- arily retire because of fatigue and 11 that sort of thing which has been he ostensible justification for some f the booms. “But when Mr. Hard- ng contemplated the effect of the ewspaper discussion which was to ake of him an_active candidate hirteen months before the repub- ican national convention is sched- led to meet, he determined in some ay to offset that impression and o ‘do it on the first occasion that resented itself. Some of his advisers nd some of the editorials in the ress have presented the view that, respective of Mr. Daugherty's in- bnt, the effect of his action has beln b plunge Mr. Harding into his cam- ign_for renomination at once. The resident is publicly taking the psition that the newspapers have de of the Miami incident too much d that they are embarrassing him ith talk of politics while he is xlous_to complete his presidential sks. Wise old politicians will eay respective of the merits of the case at both Mr. Harding and Mr. augherty are proceeding strategi- lly, the one squelching the op- psing candidates and the other mod- tly thrusting the crown aside till e proper time for such things.
