At recent conferences at the White House, in which Senators Watson jand Curtis and Secretary of War Weeks and pther cabinet members took part, it was agreed that repubil jean party safety in the next con- lgressional campaign, and in the Presidential campaign of 1924, de pends on whipping all factions with- jin the party into line under the dis [tinet party leadership. Harding, in his message to con gress yesterday, gave notice that the bloc must go and that republicans must obey their party leaders and accept the legisiative program their party stood back of. Cabinet members will follow up |Harding’s lead in speeches in vari- jous parts of the country, assalling the farm bloc directly, denouncing the legislation the bioe stands for, and telling the public that the wel fare of the country depends on the |abouition of all such special groups jin congress, 1 GROTTO PLAY MAKES A HIT “Are You a Mason?” to Run) Two More Nights “Are You a Mason?” Some were! jand some were not, Monday night, when the edy-faree was given before a ized audience by the!
