Harding, the Republican | _ Presidential y nominee, who arrived | “here last night from Chicago, put in busy day to-day receiving the con-| gratulations of friends and clearing| up pending matters with his Senatorial duties. He found| time, however, to play a round of| golf at a neighboring country club. | ‘The Republican nominee announced | that for the present he would have} no statement to make. He reached his office shortly before noon, after opsing for the moving-picture ae he ‘was given an informal reception by Senate employees, He seemed in the height of good humor, and, while pesing for the moving-picture men, | Lept up a running fire of humorous comment. | At his office the Senator found several hundred telegrams of con- “ gratulations as well as a large batch of mail. Among. the telegrams were | messages from his father, Dr, Georeg “Harding, and Sister Abagail, sending | “congratulations and love,” and from former President ‘Taft, Charles} B, Hughes, Hiram Johnson, Gover- | nor Coolidge, Sengtor Knox and a! number of other Senator Harding was especially | pleased with a telegram from John| Philip Sousa, which said: “Bless your musical, soul. May God's harmonies be with you for- ever.” Other mesasges received were from Senator Pomerene, Democrat, of On1o, and Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth of Ohio. No engagements were made to-day for Senator Harding, who desired 10 rest as much as possible after his strenuous work at Chicago. The Sen- ator said he had no‘definite plans, but that he probably would leave V ington the last part of the week, plans to confer before Monday with | Chairman Hays the Republican National Committee and other Re-| publican leaders, and then will take a rest before going to his home at | Mar about July 1.

Senator Harding said. “It did me good to see him.” Senator Harding declared that being a Presidential Candidate was “more strenuous than anything I have ever known.” In riding\to his home from the train last night Senator Harding passed the White House. —- LEAGUE OF NATIONS, TO TAKE UP PERSIA Council May Not Be Able to Solve Problem, It Is Feared. LONDON, June 14.—Persia's appeal for protection against Russian Bolshe- vik aggression waa expected to be one of the first subjects discussed by the Souncii of the League of Nations at the opening of its executive session in St. James's Palace late this afternoon. The sessiqns will continue for two days.

LONDON, June 14—Warren G. Harding's personality and record be: ing virtually unknown here, news: puper comment this morning ex- presses neither satisfaction nor dis- appointment with the Republican choice of a Presidential candidate, ‘Two or three journals assume the re- sult of the Chicago convention has opened the possibility of the election of a Democrat to the Presidency, which of late has been regarded here as improbable, Among those taking this view ‘are the London Times and the Daily News, the latter telling the Demo- crats “the best card they can play Is. to persuade Herbert Hoovér to accept their momination in spite of every- thing.” The future of the League of Na- tions and of British-American rela- tions are points much discussed in the light of the nomination of Mr. Harding. The Morning Post; which is a stern opponent of the League, says: “Mr. Harding is a politician, not an idealist, and may commend him- self to the American people, who show no marked liking for being gov- érned by edict from Mt, Sinai,” and predicts that if the Republicans win, “the League will fall to the dusty stage of plous revolution.” Curlosfty as to how Mr, interprets Elihu Root's “ansbiguously worded” plank is expressed by the Telegraph, which thinks it will uot be surprising if this ambiguity were deliberately cultivated on the prin- ciple that the least sald the soonest mended, as it will be much easier to abuse Mr. Wilson's failure than to suggest a satisfactory’ alternative.” “The vagueness of the Republican platform,” the Times says, “leaves plenty of ecope for its favorable in- terpretation in strong and @ honest hands, “We have much faith in the American conscience, and if we ap- peal tb it we must come into court with clean hands,’ PARIS, June 14.—Few newspapers in this city venture to comment on the action of the Republican Na- tional Convention at Chicago, Harding “It is a triumph of the machine of | the party organization, or its bosses, over personalities sufficlently pow- erful or well suppplied with funds to be in a position to appeal directly to the Nation,” declares Pertinax, | political editor of the Echo de Paris.
