i Chicago, July 14.—Little progress

i today. An undercurrent of dissat
{ isfaction was evident throughout the
|lnwtillg. Adjournment was taken to

Provisions Too Radical
Madison, July 14.—LaFollette today
refused to discuss the provisions or
the platform under consideration at
the Chicago convention. It was
learned he considered many of the
provisions too radical and some of
the planks were in direct contraven
tion with the expressed views of the
senator.
Two possibilities stood out today.
The. first was.that.for the.sake of
harmony the labor leaders may yield
to the. LaLollette forces and bermfl
a change in the plattorm draft.
Second is that they may remain stead
fust in their determination to demand
a candidate who can ride on their
declaration of principles. Two planks
of the platform are being drafted by
the conference. The committee of
the labor party and the forty eighters
were still in a dispute when word
a 2 that LabPolletie siectad to cer
tain planks in the teptative draft.
The inclusion of the plumb plan and
the declaration for Government own
ersship of mines are said to be the
points in dispute.
Chicago, July 14 —LaFollette doex
10t “deem himsgelf available as a can
lidate for the new party presidential
nominee,” He sent word to the con
“ention he does not want the nomina
tion.
Immediately after Chairman Walk
ar announced LaFollette's decision.
Lester Barlow, leader of the World
War Veterars, demanded that LaFol
lette be drafted despite his wishes.
He charged the convention was “boss
ridden by a secret intrigueing clique”
and “that it’s leaders were concealing
LaFollette’s platform for fear the
convention would adopt it. The dele
gates demanded that the platform be
read.

SEN. HARDING
MAKES LISTENING POST OF
FRONT PORCH
That Wilson Administration
Saddled League on Him
as Chief Issue. !
Columbus, July 14.—Charging that
Senator Harding has made his “front
porch a listening post”, Gov. Cox to
day issued a statement replying to
Harding’s statement of yesterday that
the Wilson administration has sad
dled the league of nations upon him as
a chief campaign issue.
Gov. Cox's statement said his cam
paign would be dedicated to the task
of “bringing peace with honor, of re
adjusting the affairs of civilization
and creating a new day out of which
we will make the best of the lessons
of the past.” #
The governor declared the thingd
that Harding believes vital and perti
nent “from his isolated perspective
will not, in all probability, be so re:
garded by me.”
“Harding has made two definite an
nouncements—one that he proposes
to hark back to the days of thirty
years ago; the other, that he will
make of his front porch a listeving
post. This means that he will be as
far removed from the running current
of progressive thought as the Senator:
ial Oligarchy of Lodge, Penrose and
Smoot have been remove from thfi
?eart beats of the American people
or a year or more. el
