T0 QU 14 RACE Senator Moses Says His Personal Ambitions May Injure Party. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Senator George H. Moses, once the presiding genius of the Johnson-for- President movement, publicly warns Senator Johnson to abandon the race for the presidential nomination. 1n a remarkable interview at San Fran- ecisco, accounts of which have just reached Washington, Moses declares that Johnson's personal ambitions are menacing republican solidarity in 1924, The New Hampshive leader, who ix chairmun of the republican senatorfal campaign committee, open- ly tauntes Johnson with political dou- ble-dealing and charges him with “sadly overworking the entangling- alliance bugaboo” at the expense of President Coolidge’s chances for elec- tion. Moses has been in California as a member of the Senate special com- mittee on reforéstation, consisting of A rs. MeNary airman), Couzens, Harriso Fletcher nd himself. Al- though the committ h: been tak- ing its misgic with g t serious- nes: republican and democratic polit on it made no bones about their intention to study polities, along with tre in the course of their uation-wide inquiries. nator Mos prior to President Coolidge's acces- slon, probably would have been an unofficial observer on Hiram John- son's behalf. Since the New ]{L!nl[“ Shire man became the original Cool- fdge booster, it may be presumed that he has kept his expert eves and ears open on behalf of the President. Warning to Johnson. Senator Moses chose the reforesta- tion committee’s presence in Hiram Johnson’s home town of San Fran- gisco to issue his clarion blast, which obviously is designed to blow John- mon off the presidential track. Ac- cording to the published version of Moses' remarks, he said A “Hiram W. Johnson, United States senator from California, regarded in Washington as a regular republican, should not, in the interests of repub- solidar] inject himself into campaign as a con- that should be ac- der for suppor Principles, corded President Coolldge. not personal ambitions, should take precede e lines sharply drawn between the republicanism of President Coolidge and the radical- m of Senator La Follette.

He stands to control the convention and Senator Johnson doultless draws quiet consolat hopeful and speculative, from this Coolldge Logieal Man. “President Coolid man to carry the 1 ner.

Within the republican party there may be difference of opinion as to procadure, but in these days of party disintegration there should be more Lgreement on party principles and less heckling from the sidelines by those who inflate the importance of a few issues to gain an audience for political preferment.’ P ashington politicians who heard of the Moses broadside during the weelk end could recall no occasion on Which a party leader had so auda- clously read riot act to a colleague.

Cuolidge Strength Grows. Wora from southern California is to the effect that “Coolidge has in- herited. all of the Harding stremgth and added thereto some support.that for one reason or another had been slienated from Harding. Assuming that Coolidge makes no sérious unders between now and the con- ntion, he will have the very warm friendship and support of. California. itepublicans here generally feel that the republican party cannot win ith Coolidge it cannot win with cnybody. * * * They would never submit fo the republican party being headed by any of the La Follette- Tohnson-Brookhart type of repub- lican. If for any .reason Coolldge ould not be a candidate Califor- nia would demand a man who has been in sympathy with the Harding Zdminiseration and could bo depended upon to carry forward the general Harding policles. Next to Coolidge 1lie names most frequently mentioned are those of Hoover, Hughes;, Low- den, Pinchot and Allen.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., September 17.~After four years of “being good,” Phhllldolphlu. is about to return to “the machine.” There may be an upset in Tuesday's primary, of course, but there is every reason'to belleve that W. Freeman Kendrick, the “or- ganization” candidate for mayor of the third largest city in the United States, will recelve’ the republican nomination, which election, Philadelphla has been accused of reveling in its political badness. Some critics of the city even_have gone o far to say that Phila- delphians openly boast of their “gang rule, Four years 0 J. Hampton Moore, the independent candidate within the republican party, sur- prised everybody by beating the m chine. Ho has given the city a good administration, but there is always a reaction to a reform wave and so Philadephia, by all the political signs that can be read today, is going back into the arms of the organiza- tion, hook, line and sinker. ‘Fhe majyoralty race here many unusual phases to attract na- tional attention. In the first place a negro was placed on the republican list of candidates, He {s James H. Duckrey, a pastor without a flock. But Duckrey has withdrawn from the race because charges have been made that many names on his petition were forged. Duckrey_says the handling of his petition was done by his “supposed friends” and he had no_ knowledge of anything Irregular. Philadelphia has a tremendous negro population and had Duckrey remalned on the ballot he would have gotten & vote sufiiciently large to have complicated the situation. A seoond interesting factor in the race 18 the activity of the woman voters. They are going to the polls in larger numbers than in any pre- ceding primary, although the general registration {s rather light. The small * registration is one of the surest signs of organization victory. It is the heavy vote that worries p litical bhosses the country over. The women are going to have many watchers at the polls and the rules laid down for their guidanc are unique. Here are some of them: Don't take your eye off the book.

By the Awsoclated Press. BOSTON, September 17.—Dr. Amos O. Squire, physician at Sing Sing prison, told the delegates to the American Prison Assoclation conven- tion here today that it was impossible to revive life by the injection of a solution of adrenaline chlorate in the heart wall after electrocution. He said that he had experimented with twenty men, and that it was found to be impossible to bring them back to life. He had officlated at the exe- cutions of 114 persons at Sing Sing. “At most of our autopsies we are able to produce fibrillar contraction of the heart by touching the wall with an instrument,” Dr, Squire said. “And sometimes we can produce this for over an hour after death. The injection of a solution of adrenaline chlorate in the heart wall does not produce any contraction of the heart muscle, 80 it can be seen that it is fmpossible to revive life by this Dr. Squire said capital punishment had_not been such a deterrent factor as its advocates hoped it would be. “In the United States in 1922, with a population of about 110,000,000 people” he added, “there were ap- proximately 9,600 homicides, and but 114 executions, wheras in Great Brit- ain and W with approximately 40,000,000 people there were but 63 murders.” —— In China and Japan tbarylo;;l?un of nearly eve q s ‘ara 2o Shaken in Now Zealand and very few polsonous insects | means _after electrocution.” For the Man of Individual Taste— ENGLISH SUIT ~JACKET — SOFT ROLL FRONT AND STRAIGHT- LINE BACK—EASY FIT.
