Is Harding
Figuring on Stepping
Out? Rumor Says He Is
Tiring of
Exacting Duties From

-By ' David Lawrenc-
- (Coprncbt,. l2je. by Th Journal)
- Toledo. Ohio.. Sept. 2.--An insidious
tale and by insidious one means po
litically is going the rounds among
'Republicans here and elsewhere ia
Ohio to the effect that President Hard
ing is so tired of his job that In due
time he will announce that he will not
accept a renomination for the presi
dency. .
The story has this basis ; Many of
those political pilgrims from the presi
dent's home state who have been to
Washington have come back here with
gossip that Mr. -Harding found the
presidency a superhuman task and
that it was wearing him out. Those,
who know from past experience with
American presidents how they feel in
the first tw years will bear testimony
that Harding attitude Is not novel.
It was in the ftrst year of Mr. Ali
son's first administration that he ex
claimed to a group of .callers' that he
never could understand how anyone in
his right senses could ever seek the
presidency. . . ,- . ... ."
FARTT TVIIX DECIDE
Tet the Question of renomination was
not personal with . Mr. 'Wilson any
more than it wl be with Mr. Harding.
The party decides the matter. . Mr.
Harding was drafted in 1920 he had
made no campaign for the nomination
and lie-will be drafted again -if the
parly chieftains think he should be.
"The only effect of this ftorf at this
time is to undermine the political
strength of Mr. Harding with "his own
party. There has been, of course, a
distinct loss of ground by the presi
dent. He is personally Jjopular but
not as-much as be was before the rail
and coal strikes. It -is natural -for
those with, whom the wish is father to
the thought to begin talking of some
one else for the - presidential nomina
tion and it Is inevitable that the talk
of another should be predicated on
what seems to them a plausible as
sumption tha President Harding him
elf will not wish to run. It is always
conceded that if Mr. Harding sought
s renomination the party 1 would be
embarrassed if it refused. ' "

DRAFT PLATFORM
By Ralph Watson
With but one discordant note the
abortive though, .-belated effort of M,
J. Lee of Canby to secure-the inclu
sion of some, reference . to Almighty
God in the declaration ..of principles
.adopted ty it the. Republican state
convention mL swam its harmonious
way through countless waves of ora
tory, put the stamp, of approval on the
platform recommended by the commit
tee, and adjourned.
It was a love feaat the first in It
long years filled with glowing words
of promise and Joggled in- the even
tenor of its course but twice,, the first
time when Peter" Zimmerman, sena
torial nominee from Yamhill county.
'arose to ask ' Senator "Moser of Mult
nomah whether the adoption, of the
platform as drafted by the commit
tee "would hog-tie members 'of the leg
islature and deprive them of their in
itiative." ' - -
Moser explained, with that suavity
for which he is noted, that the plat'
form was " general declaration, of
principles and if any senator or , rep
resentative did - not approve 'any - of
them he could go ahead and exercise
all the initiative he had." This
seemed to satisfy Mr. Zimmerman,
who sat down and voted "aye" when
the tim came.
GOD 1& OVERLOOKED x
But It was just before adjournment,
after the platform had been - adopted
by the unanimous rising vote of the
.. . 11 . . r t tA. . .
haymaker onto the unsuspecting chin
of Chairman Toose He arose, he said,
to mention a little matter he had on
his mind. ' . '
-We'live in a Christian nation," Mr."
Lee reminded the chair. "We owe
much o Almighty God for the pros
perity and the 'liberty we enjoy. The
Republican party is composed of Chris
tian men and - women and yet I note
that no mention of the Almighty oc
curs in the platform, or no recogni
tion of His mercies is given. I think
that ousht trt be done." ,
Chairman Tooxe rocked m bit under
the impact but quickly rallied.
"Mr. Lee. be asked, ""why did you
not call the attention of the conven
tion, or of the committee to this over
sight before the Vote was taken? vNow
.it is too late and I- will have to rule
you out of order unless rfhe convention
desires to reconsider the vote for the
purpose of amendment. " . "
RECONSIDERATION "MOTEB "
"Then,- Lee' announced, "I move
that the vste be reconsidered. In the
midst of a silent pause' a voice it
sounded like that of Senator Eddy of
Douglas seconded the motion.
vhairman said. - "that the vote be re
considered so that Almighty Cod may
toe included in. the platform.
"This is a serious, matter. Mr. le,"
he added, "and - you ought -to have
called attention - to tt - before. But)
though.' I believe all " the Republican
candidates, : and thetteinocratic can
didates, toa are. Christians.- there was
no reference to the , Almighty in any
of the platforms filed by them."
"The committee ought to have
thought of it," Lee-- contended, ."there
were enough of them to do it-"
. I hope this motion will not prevail,"
Senator Wor pleaded. "It will re

MorrisonSt
Bridge Will
Repairs were authorized today by
the county commissioners whereby 'the
Morrison street . bridge is to be-rein-forced
and strengthened at an . esti
mated cost of 40,000 to $50,000. The
work is to be done on force account,
without advertising for bids, provided
District Attorney Myers finds this
method legal. '
The commissioners took this action
on recommendation of . County Road
master W. a,: Eatcnel, who further rec
ommended that the Work be done by the
Gilpin Construction- company- which ia
now making minor repairs to the crib
support ana has its' equipment already
on the bridge. ..
Because of the emergency character
of the work the job will be started
without preliminary cost estimate, the
contractors to work on a basis of act
ual cost plus 10 per cent, on material
and labor.
-It was considered -a' foregone con
clusion that C B. llcCullough, state
highway engineer.' would supervise, the
work. McCullough reported . that the
repairs reqired would include replace
ment or reinforcement of the upper
and lower chords of the draw span and
strengthening of lateral braces and
pins. The work probably would 're
quire from six weeks to two months,
during which period the bridge would
be closed to traffic.
Including the present item, in the
last two years repairs costing about
$200,000 will have 'been made upon - the
Morrison street bridge. McCullough
reported that the present work would
prolong the life of the' span at least
another six or seven years. ::
