Presidential + [—~Warren braisal of the political assets an of the men most talked about today for the republican and democratic nominations. ~ Mr. Lawrence has just o- iglied @ tour of the western part of the Tnited Btates with President Harding 18 now en route to Europe to make a d ialled survey of reonstruction proble: there. "At the concl o Mr. Lawrence's daily will begin exclush Star. ab) Tn" The Eveniag President Harding may or may not have won the confidence of the coun- try on hig western trip—that is a matter £or the 1924 election to settle —-but he has certainly assured him- self of renomination. It will take a political earthquake to dislodge him. : H ‘Before the FPresident went west| there were all sorts of rumors to the effect that he was not particularly keen about a second term and that he might be disposed to withdraw vol- untarily from the race. These were} predicted on the assumption that he would find himself unpopular in the west and that he would be much more likely to decline to be .a candidate for remomination than to place the ! party in a position which would mean | inevitable defeat in the 1924 election itself. * ® His Real Standpoint. The writer has talked with the| President on the subject of renomi-! nation and can say with authority | that the true viewpoint of Warren Harding has not been accurately re- | flected either by those who haye in- sisted that Mr. Harding was seeking | « second term or those who have rep- resented him as undecided whether he would strive to be renominated. XNaturally Mr. Harding is anxious for | a continuation In power of the re- publican party. Even as carly as the first few months of his administra- tion there were people who sought; 10 discuss with him_the matter of a second term. He always put it off, arguing that the business in hand was to make good in the term for which he was elected, without think- ing of a second one. Just before he went to Florida Mr. Harding told! friends who inquired about it that he did not feel it proper to make an announcement of candidacy one way or the other, and that he believed it was a matter which the republican ! varty should decide for itself. Friends of the President, like At- torney General Daugherty, howeve: took it upon themselves to predi that Mr. Harding would be renomi- nated, and while these public state- ! ments were pted as the equiva- lent of an announcement by Mr. Harding himself, they were not in- iended as such by him. They were! designed by the friends of Mr. Hard- ing to checkmate possible opposition and to squelch incipient booms. It was a case in which the friends of Mr. Harding boldly took the strategy into their own hands. Nor could the President show displeasure, because the move was obviously in his inter- est ‘Wants Record to Decide. Yet the fact remains that the President feels it is not incumbent upon him to seek the nomination. If his record is deserving of a renomina- tion he would feel honored to have the party give it to him. Tt is too early to say what his attitude will be toward the primaries next spring. but not being a very ardent believer in and Impossibilities BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Possibilities G.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July hibition New Jersey, admitted today. Thirty-three automoblles loaded with illicit liquor from Canada were captured in June by northern New York forces, he declared, admitting that many other cars sately entered the state for want of a force big enough to stop them. “No one will deny that rum-running is going on at the Canadian border, but its extent is exaggerated,” he assert- ed. “I admit that many newspaper stories about the illicit traffic are true.” Rum Cars Checked. According to the newspaper stories 10 which he referred. reporters check- ing for seversl nights tramic on the twenty-five highways leading from the St. Lawrence, counted 30 to 150 rum cars speeding through between dusk and dawn, Most of them carried Canadian ale, with a sprinkling of wnisky, the car- * goes ranging from 200 to 360 quarts to a car—an average of 30,000 bottles nightly. Concerning 'his personal observa- i tions, Mr. Merrick sald: “From Tuesday until Saturday of last week I was at the border, di- recting operations myself. 1 worked night and day and began to realize what a huge task my men had Force Too Small. “Stopping the rum-running opera- itlons is a very difficul: job, mince there are so many roads from Canada. We are trying to counteract bootleg- ging by placing our men in such a way that their whereabouts is un- known. The day I got to the border we captured five motor cars.
