BOY SLAYS GRUEL FATHER TO BE OUT OF RACE Senator Fails to Swing His Own State Into Line. OLD GUARD OUTNUMBERED Progressive Strength Shown in Vote Given Johnson Position of Lowdcn Thought Improved. OUV MARSICO, 17, PROTECTS MOTHER; MAY GO FREE. HARDING BEL EVED CCopj right by Evt-ninsr Post. Published by Arrangement. BY MARK SULLIVAN. WASHINGTON, May 4. (Special.) The comments on the results of last week's primaries seem to overlook what impresses your correspondent as the most important single aspect of them. That aspect Is the changed sit uation of Senator Harding. The headlines are all saying that "Harding Carries Ohio," and so he does, in the -sense that he has secured nearly five-sixths of, the delegates. But that is not the true sense of carrying a state. The really signifi cant fact is that Harding did not curry Ohio. He got less than 50 per cent of the state vote. This aspect of the Ohio result is obscured by the fact that the opposition vote is dis tributed among three other candi dates. , But that does not alter the effect of the fact in Harding's fortune. Ev ery person with political experience or judgment knows that Harding to day has a wholly altered relation to the republican situation. Whether Harding will stay In the race to the end is a decision so com pletly within the minds of himself and his political friends and mana gers that it is not a field in which outsiders can properly venture pre dictions. OutHlder Winn Ohio. But every observer with any pene tration and sufficient information is able to say that no candidate who fails to get half the popular vote in his state primary can qualify as a favorite son. The whole theory back of Senator Harding's candidacy, so far as it had a sound theory, was that Ohio is a big state and doubtful as between re publicans and democrats. The demo crats carried it in 191.6 and by carry ing it elected Wilson. The theory was that by nominating a man for presi dent who was Qualified in other re snects and who had the additional nualification of being a son of Ohio and popular in the state, the republ cans could guarantee Ohio. That theory now disappears." It has been demonstrated that an outsider can carry Ohio for the republicans more certainly than Harding can. It is impossible to imagine the republi can leaders on any sound theory of politics, continuing to regard Hard ing as being as available a candidate as he was thought to be before the Ohio primaries. They cannot on any sound theory of politics regard Hard ing as now being so available as sev cral others are. It was an axiom of the late Matthew S. Quay, the master of all practical politicians, that a par ty must never nominate a man who has not got his own state solidly be hind him. Londrn Position Improved. Moreover, there are other reasons why Harding may not be expected to take a changed relation to the repub llcan situation. A good many of us here in Washington have always doubted whether Harding was really whole-hearted in his candidacy for the presidency. We suspcted and still suspect that he was over-persuaded to get into the race by friends who Btood to profit more by his candidacy in a political sense, than he himself could profit. ' We think that what Senator Hard ing would prefer is to get a new term in the senate, and it would be our guess that- Senator Harding's future course will now be guided with an eye toward getting the Ohio senator ship rather than the presidency. All that is here said is in terms of the political strategy, . so to speak, that applies to Senator Harding's per sonal situation. .. j In a broader sense, the results of last week's primaries have a tendency to show that the bulk of the republi can, votes aranot in that wing of the party that iswepresented by Senator Harding, who is. among all the candi dates, the extreme old guard type. The bulk of the Tepiiblican votes ar8 'obviously contained in that wing of the party which is represented, in different ways and different, degrees, by Johnson and Wood, the progres sive or Roosevelt faction. But the data are not yet sufficient to discuss this phase of the situation adequately. Incidentally, of course, if there Is soundness in what is here saidi about Harding, it follows as a necessary in ference that the position of Lowden is very much improved. PURE WOOL BILL OPPOSED MAKER. OBJECT TO MT5ASTXRE REQCTRIXG "TRUTH." Widow Tells Story of Beatings, Threats and Laziness to Chicago Court. CHICAGO. May 4. (Special.) All his life Guy Marsico had been beaten and kicked around by Antonio, his latner, who, hated him. He had en dured the abuse, although he was 17, but when the father whipped Guy's mother shamefully and threat ened to end her life with a razor, all the years of resentment rose up - in him and he shot and killed his father. the story brought out lit police court. Police and court officials and neigh bors sympathize with the boy and the coroner's jury will probably set him free. The -nether said: '."My husband had been mean to me from the day of our marriage and he was constantly growing worse. He would beat me- and the children every day for no occasion whatever. Recently he shot at me and the bullet struck Charlotte, our little girl. He hated Guy and quarreled with him con stantly. Guy had bought a suit of clothes with his own earnings and my husband gave him a beating for that. He then turned upon me when I protested and threatened to kill me with a razor. I had a revolver hidden under a couch and Guy seized it and shot his father. "I am an American and my ideas did not suit my husband. He had lost all sympathy for me and the children. He v ould not work and we had to support him. It made him furious to see Guy doing well at his work and dressing well. HOLSTEIN CUTTLE BOUGHT HARRISBURG FARMERS GOIXG IX FOR GOOD STOCK.

ORG ONI AN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, May 4. The "truth-in-fabrics bill" introduced by Burton L.
