HARDING BEL EVED

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.

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.

Liberal Element Disagrees When
Picture Interests Object.
Four nominees, for state senator in
the republican primaries are being
backed by the Anti-Blue Law league,
which is generally active around elec
tion time. The fifth man to be placed
on the slate has not yet been' selected.
As the Anti-Blue Law league slate
now stands, its selections for state
senatorial nominations are: George
Joseph, Wilson T. Hume. F. C. Howell
and George B. Cellars.
Disagreement has arisen over the
indorsement of D. C. Lewis. It ap
pears that some of the men who are
making up the ticket want to place
the name of Mr;. Lewis thereon, but
the motion picture interests are op
posing this indorsement. Speaking of
the motion picture people, this group
is taking a surprisingly active inter

sibly fearing that the coming legisla
