The Boy Scout band of Oil City, Pa., sounded a noisy welcome and the senator and his party made their way through’ tig cheering crowd at the station. Sei ater Harding said he would remai here about a week. He expects to bo busy for a day or two cleaning up the business he accumulated as senator. He soon will confer with Will Hays, chairman of the republican na. tional committee, with the idea of getting his campaign under way at once, although formal notification of his nomination will not be received until he returns to his home at Marion, O Many neighbors remained up to witness the homecoming. Inez Mc- Whorter, the Hardings' negro cook, was in the van of those who rushed forward to welcome them. Her ex- tended hand was grasped by both Senator and Mrs. Harding. The Boy Scout band, chosen to welcome Senator Harding, was in Washington on a sight-seeing trip and it was selected for the honor because of the part played by the Pennsyl- vania delegation in bringing about the nomination. Golng to his home, Senator H-rdlu drove by the White House. On either side of his automobile rode two mo- torcycle policemen and close behind came another automobile filled with secret service men. HARDING EASY TO BEAT SAYS EDWARDS He Declares That a Democrat of Pro- gressive Type Can Win the Election. Sea Girt, N. J., June 14.—"“Senator Harding is the easiest man in the re- publican party [or the democrats to beat.” said Governor Edward I. Ed- wards last night, in commenting on the result of the republican national convention at Chicago. The governor, whose friends have been booming him for the democratic nomination, in his further comment on the republican candidate, said: “The nomination of Senator Hard- ing shows the ‘Old Guard' is in con- trol again and would not permit the nomination of a man with progres- sive ideas and tendencies. It will be easy for a democrat of the progres- sive type to be elected over Senator Harding. I believe that such a demo- erat could have won from any of the leading aspirants for the republican nomination at Chicago.” He added that * \!nnln;: over Hard- ing will be very eas: PARIS PRESS GLAD JOHNSON LOST OUT But See in Harding Only Triumph of Political Roadroller—Respect Him, However, Paris, June 14.—The newspapers of this city all devote considerable space to the nomination of Harding and Coolidge “It is a triumph of the machine of the party organization or its forces over personality sufficiently powerful or well supplied with funds to be in a position to appeal directly to the nation” declares Pertinax, poltical editorial writer of the Echo de Paris. “Mr. Harding is a champion of the international political point of view which raised the American senate against the Versailles treaty” says the Journal. “But all Frenchmen are greatly satisfied with the elimination No machine can do what this ne receipt-printing cash register does @® It prints the merchant’s name. p @ It prints the price of each article. —— 7 ® It retains an added and printed reeord.

The Daily News tells the democrats “the best card they can play is to per- suade Herbert Hoover to accept their nomination in spite of everything.” The Morning Post predicts that if the republicans win “the league will fall 1o the dusty stage of pious rou- tine.” Curiosity as to how Mr. Hard ing interprets Elihu Root's “‘ambig- uously worded™ plank is expressed by The Telegraph, which thinks it will not be surprising “if this ambiguity ; was deliberately cultivated on the principle that the least said the soon- est mended, as it w be much easier to abuse Mr. Wilson's failure than to suggest a satisfactory alternative.” The Times, referring to a statement by its Chicago correspondent that the British must be prepared for a thorough readjustment of their rela- tions with the United States says: “We have much faith in the Ameri- nn canscience and if we appeal to it ve must come into court with clean he Express beli i | i doubtedly be part of Mr. Harding's policy.
