J Washington, Nov, 4. President Harding is today .in midstream with the tides of his 'own party running against him. Personally- popu ular, respected and e s t e em e d, Mr. Harding has failed to -convince many of , the - influential leaders of the Re publican party thart he has made the best use of his op portunities In the jr last two IV They are r "W ' I to say he AJ' lbe nomma i" '' ii a second years. not ready shall not nominated for term" in 1924 rthey are sympathetic with any effort he may make In the next two years to retrieve his mistakes, and they wish him success because they would rather renominate him than face a contest inside the party, but the prevailing Impression is that Mr: Harding is not sufficiently aggres sive, not possessed of enough initi ative, to lead the party in these its most trying years of regeneration. WAKTS LE1DEB For the Republican party is in process of evolution. Leadership never was more essential. The nation is aching to be led It la tired of fol lowing will-o'-the-wisp politicians and it is even more tirea1 of congress and its diliatory ways. President Harding is being criticised more for his lack of leadership 'than any one thing. The . country accepted at first his argument' that the legislative and ex ecutive branches of the government should', be kept .dependent, but now lt-bellevee Mr. Harding has taken his own doctrine too literally. "We voted in 1920," said ; one Re publican editor, "to do away with the dictatorship of Woodrow Wilson, but we didn't expect the pendulum to : - swing back the other way altogether. ;We must have one-man leadership." BOrs VETQ OFtLAit ' S;'.-? And that expresses the sentiment i of most Republican leaders with whom . the writer has talked they think Mr. Harding has made his greatest mistake ; by allowing congress to run its own course without regard to the best ln- tereats of the party. As if In illustration of this point. Republican chieftains without excep - tion and dosens of editors, unanimous ly agree that Mr. Harding's veto of the bonus was the most popular act of his administration. Why? Because - he overruled congress. Because he took the bit In his teeth and did a courageous thing in a political year. Because he followed his convictions. Even many who think he was unwise to veto the" soldier bonus bill concede his courage. ' ACTIOS TOO SLOW The thing which hurt Mr. Harding more than1 anything else was his at Mitude during the rail and coal strikes. There is a feeling that he waited too long before bringing; pressure to bear on the, coal miners and operators. There is also a widespread notion that Mr. Harding wobbled In handling . the shopmen's' strike. Many- in his own parry will never forgive him for being wlUing to restore seniority rights to the strikers and a great many more for laboring men are more numer ous than employerswill never for give him for permitting the attorney general to Apply the injunction process to'laboT. Still another group commends the use of-the injunction as a weapon of protection for the public, but insists f thai the . railroad executives were equally guilty oft conspiracy to restrain commerce if two or more of them entered into agreements or understand .' ings which, by concerted, action against their employes, had the effect of re straining interstate commerce. IIUVNCTIOH CRITICIZED The injunction is criticized by them " as one sided. Clearly Mr. Harding didn't please any group. He gave an Impression V of indecision which has been seised c upon by critics as a characteristic trait of his whole administration. In looking JLo 1924 there are Republican leaders who think there are other men in the party of more commanding per sonality than Mr? 'Harding. They say again and, again, they hope the presi dent win not run that he win volun tarily? withdraw "I guess he's tired of the Job anyhow, is the comment the leaders usually make. Part ofj, this Is based upon a fear ', "that Mr. -Harding will not b strong enough t0 win even if nominated and -. that the Democrats may get back Into power it-Mr. Harding is forced into -' the race: ; The revolt inside the Repub lican ; part s dangerous, but not well ' organised. It will gain momentum and (. euppoVt from elements not now friend ly to it if the next two years of Mr. . Harding's administration are like the last . two. . DECISIONS DEMANDED Irrespective of how one feels about the merits of the questions uppermost ' in the; public mind, the fact is the country will demand that an irapres- srive start, at least, be made on the . following problems i First, - the government's relation to agricultural. credit must; be more posi tive and: helpful. .. . j .

Pierce Tells of Vast Waste on State-Owned Autos; Shows $2,000,000 Could Have Been Saved on Roads. Hillsbbro. Nov. 4. Walter Pierce, candidate for governor., in aa. address here Friday, disclosed from the records to taxpayers of Washington county the losses that have accrued to them through past management of the high way program, and the colossal cost of operation of state-owned automobiles. The hall where the meeting was held could hoid only half of those who tried to gain admittance. Pierce showed that more than $25,000 was spent in six weeks for automobile tires by the state highway department alone. He offered records proving that that amount was spent in four pur chases, and that three of the four pur chases were made from one dealer without advertising for bids. He offered other records to prove that more than $12,000 was spent in two days for automobile parts, gas and oil by the same department. EXTRA COSTS REVEALED And in further disclosures of the workings of the highway department, which department is directly under the Jurisdiction of the governor. Pierce showed that in 28 paving contracts let in 1919, only three were completed at the bid price. In the other 2o, Pierce declared, the contractors received from the highway department a total of $1,628,000 more' than they agreed to do the work for. The candidate held up for public in spection photographs showing great holes that had broken out In perma nent state highways, as the result of poor engineering by. the highway de partment and poor work by the con tractors. "In the beginning of this campaign, Pierce declared, "I pointed out that Oregon had the highest per capita tax of any state in the union and that it had the second highest gross per capita debt. I said that with our small popu lation and limited resources, we were riding straight to ruin, unless a stop were put to further bond issues and all extravagance In public affairs.

Several ballots were taken, it was reported, which showed a division of either 11 to 1 or 10 to 2. One. woman, according to underground rumors, was holding up the body, although- these same rumors had it that there was hope of an ultimate agreement. Superior Judge Louis Ward com pleted his charge to the Jury at 6 :40 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He told them that they could either find a verdict of murder In the first degree, wlrh or without recommendation,' a verdict of murder in the second de gree, or a verdict of "not guilty."

ROAD WOR Sultan Refuses to Abdicate e at ; ? ? t m r Defies Nationalist Assembly (Special Cable to The Journal and Chieaco Daily Xews) (Copyright. 1922) Constantinople, Nov. 4. At 6:30 p. rru. on Wednesday, guns were fired all over Anatolia announcing that the sul tanate had been abolished and that the "most worthy member of the present dynasty remain caliph, bat the present sultan : and caliph who betrayed the Mussulman world and the national as sembly' ceases to rule Turkey and the Mussulmans." The proclamation was received in Anatolia . without bursts of .popular joy. . It has been decided, that in the future November 1 and 4 shall be con. sMered national holidays. The main motive which , prompted the national leaders to take this drastic decision in spite of the strong opposition of many members of .parliament was mainly po litical. . i'-;. r-;,..-; MAT RAISE QUESTION - - The Nationalists fear that the allies. In view of the fact that the sultan is 'the supreme iiutharit . in Turkey Has Ganna Broken With Her Harold? (Cory right, 1822, International News Serrir ) Paris. Nov. 4. (I. H. S.) There is unconfirmed gossip in fashionable and musical circles In Paris today that the honeymoon of Harold F. McCor mick, Chicago millionaire, and Mrs. McCormick. who was Madame Ganna Walska, grand opera prima donna, has been disturbed by differences of ambition and social preference. There are rumors that friends of the couple are alarmed lest their mar ried life be wrecked upon the un charted seas of incompatibility. Reports that McCormick is disap pointed that his bride should plunge into concert work so soon after their wedding are incredible to those who have followed the romance. MAKES PROMISE On his wedding day, McCormick permitted an "inspired interview" to appear frankly avowing his desire that Madame Walska's fame as a singer should be promoted by her alli ance with him rather than be even temporarily discontinued. Whether McCormick has changed his mind is not known, but the fact is pointed Out that two months and two days after the marriage Ganna Walska began a singing tour in the smaller French cities while McCormick left for Switzerland to visit hU daughter, Mathilda, aged 17, who is engaged to marry Major Max Osier, a Swiss rid ing master. Mr. McCormick was represented at his bride's first stage appearance only by a bouquet of red roses. FRIENDS EXPLAIN Friends attempted to explain cer tain evidence of seeming uncongenial ity by the fact that McCormick and his wife often appear in an awkward light owing to his inability to speak French and. her imperfect use of Eng lish. She has repeatedly been seen surrounded by admiring friends who speak to her in French and Russian languages, which are unintelligible to her husband, who appears to. be un comfortable in such a situation. If there has been any rift in the lute, friends of the couple credit the diffi culty more to McCormick's disapproval of his wife's foreign speaking ; associ ates, rather than to any change of view on the part of the husband re garding his wife's musical ambitions. MAKES HO STATEMENTS Neither McCormick nor Madame Walska has dignified the gossip con cerning them by either affirmation or denial. Madame Walska married Alexander Smith Cochrane, formerly known as the "richest bachelor in the United States," late in 1920. -A year later she obtained a divorce in Paris. Edith Rockefeller McCor mick, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, divorced Harold F. McCormick In De cember, 1921. Mr. McCormick was married to Madame Walska In this city, August 11, last.

Forced to land here after traveling 2060 miles from San Diego, Cat., and setting a new world's record for non-stop -distance flying. Lieutenants J. A. Mac Ready and Oakley Kelly, attempting a nonstop flight across the continent, hopped off here in a borrowed plane at 10 :50 for Dayton, Ohio. CYLINDERS CRACKED The aviators landed here at about 9 o'clock, a leaking radiator on their monoplane, the giant T-2, forcing them down. The trouble was caused by cracked cylinders, according to the flyers, which developed when they were about 400 miles out of San Diego. Covered with grease, the two pilots climbed from the plane's cab with looks of disappointment on their faces. As soon as they found theyi would be unable to use the T-2 they 1 made ar rangements with officials at Fort Ben jamin Harrison flying field to borrow a plane. They remained here less than two hours. "It became apparent that we would have to land about 100 miles before we reached Fort Harrison."
