Asked regarding Ohio' attitude to ward Secretary of War Tft a a presidential quantity, Mr. Harding aald: "W tewpt the word of Judge Taft thy he will not be a candidate, and Senator Forakjpr, therefore, should have no traulilo getting the endorse ment of the Ohio drl'irtlon." ' Senator Foraker la very emphatic In hl declaration that be I not a ' preputial candidate, the Idea, ho any, of a man aeeklng the presidency , la very repugnant to him, and he be lieve It la repugnant to the American people, He at0 recall that few men who have ought the presidency ever attained It Senator Dick' declaration In favor of the nomination of Senator Foraker apeak eloquently of changed political condition In the Buckeye State.

IIP 1L Holy See Sends Note on French Situation. DECLARES CHURCH OUTRAGED Deals With th 8paratIon Law of 1905 Exact and Vital Attitude of Church 8imply Stated Deals With Situation. ROME, Dec. 21. The note sent by the Vatican to all the papal represen tatlves abroad, protesting against the course of the French government af ter asserting the rights of religion have been outraged by the French gov ernment's action in preventing the head of the church from communlcat lug with the French helrarchy and by tha expulsion of Monslgnor Montag nanl, secretary of the papal nunciature at Paris, says: "The representatives of the Holy Sea abroad have also received a, cir cular In which are set forth the mo tives for the action of the Vatican re garding the application of the church and state separation law of 1905. These motives are so grave that H Is evi dently Impossible to accuse the Holy See of Intrasigeance or of unjust hos tility to the French government in condemnation of the cultural associa tions, which disregarded the essential rights which the church derived from her constitution, such as maintaining an ecclesiastical hierarchy, established by her divine founder as the basis of the organisation of the church. . In fact, the law conferred on the cultur al associations right which not only belong exclusively to the ecclesiastical authorities In the place of worship and possessing and administering eccles iastical property, but the same asso ciations were rendered Independent of the hierarchy And Itialetul were placed under the adjudication of the lay au thorities. The pontiff could not ap prove of such associations without be ing lnx In his duty aa head of the church, and without trampling upon the fundamental domestic principles of the church. "All this evidently shows that the Holy See merely did Its duty strictly In giving Instructions on the subject to the French clergy. If the French government wasKanlmated by calmer senttment It could create for the church In France a situation which at least would not Injure the ecclesias tical rights of the Holy See, which might , even , without admitting the principle Of separation of church and state tolerate such a situation In or der to avoid worse evils, as It did in the case of other countries."
