HARDING WINS MANY FRIENDS

RECENT TOUR ADDED MANY SUPPORTERS TO REPUBLICAN NOMINEE’S CAMPAIGN. ’.V X v • wV' St. Paul, Minn., Sept 6.—Senator Harding off the front porch, mingling with the folks in the crowd, exchanging jests and telling stories, is as likable a personality as has ever leaned over the rail of a private car. * His trip from Marion Was interrupted by two back platform talks. Perhaps they should be called conversations. They weren’t speeches. They were not about campaign issues but about general things like the wonders of America and the opportunities of our country, about rural life, and boyhood reminiscences awakened by the sight of rural folks—a sort of rustic anthology. Get On Stump. Anybody traveling from Marion to St. Paul with Senator Harding on this first adventure off the front porch couldn’t but wonder why the republican managers consented to Senator Marding’s modest program of front porch speeches. These same managers are hoping that the effect of the journey on the Senator himself will be to persuade the nominee of the necessity of making more trips. He found himself fascinated by the experience. He didn't intend to make any speeches or talks en route. He had expressed himself against back platforming, yet the appeal of the crowd was irresistable. ' Good Campaigner. And when Senator Harding comes out and shakes hands and manages to have a suitable greeting for everybody, whether the individual be the leader of a band or a farmer or a laborer or a war veteran, the sum total of his effort is as good as any campaigners in recent years. The republican managers think this trip will settle the thing—that Mr. Harding will make more trips hereafter. Of course, the truth is, Senator Harding always was a good campaigner. In other years, he has stumped the country for the republican ticket &nd he knows how to, handle crowds.

Fundamentally the objection to a big campaign tnp has been the necessity. of making numerous speeches, and Senator Harding has. been a firm believer in the idea of preparing’ carefully a few addresses that could be distributed to the newspapers in advance and examined deliberately in the editorial offices .of the country. This trip shows that Mr. Harding . can meet the folks an<f make a good impression and keep his campaign discussions for the larger meetings. He will not talk extemporaneously on vital matters. Tentative Schedule. Meanwhile the republican leaders are thinking up schedules for Senator Harding to follow arid the plan,' tentative though it is, seems to call for journeys east and west from Marion —not as far as the coast perhaps but westward. The senator mil surely go to New York—all candidates usually do toward the end of October. It wouldn’t be wise for him to get to Chicago until the republican primaries are over. In fact, in several states the national ticket is trying hard to avoid entanglements in factional fights withiM the party- It will be recalled that Mr. Hughes struck a snag, in California in 1916 by entering that state before the primaries ‘ had settled the issue there.

CITY TO HAVE GRID TEAM

MOVEMENT LAUNCHED FOR PLACING HIGH CLASS FOOT BALL TEAM ON E*ELD. « . > .i \ ■ Preliminary steps were taken Wednesday toward the organizing of a city football team in this c|ity for the coming season, the games to be' played on Sunday afternoons with only the highest class teams in this section of the country as opposition. The idea has many enthusiastic followers and there is no doubt that the game will meet with the same success that it has in the days gone by when Marshall, Saylor, Parcells and other celebrities placed Rensselaer on the topmost pinnacle of the football ladder. The movement inaugurated Wednesday has the backing of practically every citizen who has been approached on the matter. The Van Rensselaer club has pledged its moral support and will aid in the management of the team and in getting the project under way. At the impromptu meeting held Wednesday afternoon, the following were selected to have charge of The various departments of the association : ' Manager—C- A. Ross. Assistant Manager—Lee Myres. Advertising Mgr.—Howard Clark. Secretary-Treasurer—D. D. Dean. Coach —Harry Parker. Assistant Coach —Hugh Kirk. The following former high school and independent stars have announced themselves as candidates for the team, and from the list rt may be seen that Rensselaer wUJ be represented by an imposing gridiron team, and that the eleven will be composed of all home players: Don Beam, Jay Nowels, Lloyd Parks, William Eigelsbach, Simon Thompson, James Babcock, John Robinson, Owen Simons, Ergus Timmons, Lee Collins, Charles Porter, Harve Myres, Louis Putts, Newton Henry and Lee Myres. It is pfobabl© that several others will be added to the list of candidates before the first practice session. ~ , . . Harry Parker, veteran* high school mentor, assisted by Hugh Kirk ,wiU have chaise of the coaching and expects to have his charges whipped into condition within a Short time. In Parks, Eigelsbach, Nowels, Porter and Babcock, he is assured of a powerful, versatile backfield which will be supported by a group of high class linemen* carrying plenty of bulk and having the necessary fighting qualities. . ' . A supscription paper will be put in circulation Friday morning. Several merchants have already been, approached on the subject and all have expressed themselves as being in favor of the project and willing to contribute 'money toward the equipping of the team. The money realized in this way will be used m buying new uniforms and placing the park in condition. Football has always been a paying proposition in Rensselaer and therte is no doubt but that the team which. will be placed on the field this year will he a financial winner. At the close of the season the money left over wiU be placed in a bank to the credit of the football association and «sed the following year, which assures the merchants that they will not be called upon to contribute toward the support of the team in future seasons. As soon as enough money is pledged to assure the success of the venture the scheduling 1 of games will commence. Morocco will be probably the first opponent.

KELLY DENIES SHORTAGE

MANAGER OF RAUB GRAIN ELEVATOR NOW AT FRANKFORT—DENIES SHORTAGE ' < Lee Kelley, former manager of the Raub Grain company’s elevator at Raub, Ind., who disappeared two months ago, leaving the books of the company in confusion and an alleged shortage of $70,000 in his accounts, has arrived in Frankfort to visit his wife and family, who went to that city immediately after he left Raub so mysteriously. Mr. Kelley has offered no explanation of his long absence, it is said, but insists that he . did not misuse the funds of the company. Frankfort newspapers, in mentioning Mr. Kelleys arrival in that city, say that he has been cleared of the.charge of having left a deficit in the Raub Grain company's funds. One Frankfort paper says: ‘‘Mr. Kelley has been entirely exonerated of the embezzlement of which he was charged, a complete I audit of the books 1 having failed to disclose a shortage. Mr. Kelley is -visiting here before taking a new . position which he has been offered. Auditor’* Statement. A newspaper has communicated with the Raub Grain company Wednesday regarding the Kelley case and was referred to Lemuel

We know that the grain company, as a result of Mr. Kelley's manipulations, is badly involved. The Sawyer Grain company, of Chicago, and the McCardle, A Bright company, of Indianapolis, have filed claims for $60,000 against the Raub company. Whether they can collect or not remains to he seen. It will take a brittle in the courts to determine who shall stand the losses. “The question of liability for the money that has been lost remains unanswered. We know that the shortage in the accounts is very heavy. So far as I know there has been no step taken to bring any criminal' or civil action against Mr. Kelley. The company probably will be able to weather the storm and. the courts must decide who must pay this money.” It is said that Kelley holds that the grain company losses were incurred through legitimate ttansactions during his term as manager.
