Tuesday, June 26, 1923. PRESIDENT SLOWLY WRITING PLATFORM By GEORGE R. HOLMES, (I. N. R. Staff Correspondent) EN ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT HARDING, RAWLINS, Wyo., June 26—President Harding is slowly and methodically writing the Republican platform of 1924 as he pursues his speech-making way westward. He is choosing his subjects with great care, with an eye to party harmony, and, when he has completed the score of major addresses which feature his Western tour, they will constitute his political adviser said today, a Republican book for next year's usage. The actual platform builders will find the planks all mapped out for them when convention time rolls around. The President has been gone from Washington six days. In that time he has delivered carefully prepared formal addresses on five major topics that are certain to be in the forefront of issues in the campaign next year, the international court, the railroad problem, prohibition, agricultural prosperity, and the coal problem. On each of these issues, which are the subject of more or less controversy within the Republican party, Mr. Harding has laid down the broad principles he believes his party must follow if he is again to be the nominee. The speeches that are regarded as having forecast the chief planks of the 1924 platform and the principal pleas dictated therein are: International Court (St. Louis—The party must stand foresquare on its previous platform pledge in favor of the international court, by now accepting the court which the President has proposed with such reservations as the Sentate Republicans think necessary. Mr. Harding himself wrote some reservations in his St. Louis speech which he believes will be acceptable to the Republican party.

NEWPORT RECALL PETITION DELAYED The expected petition for the recall of certain members of the Board of Trustees of Newport and Balboa was not presented at last night's meeting of the board, and harmony prevailed. The meeting is said to have been the most largely attended in On board's history. The feature of the meeting was the voiling of instructions to a committee. The party must stand foresquare on its previous platform pledge in favor of the international court, by now according the court which the President has proposed with such reservations as the Sentate Republicans think necessary. Mr. Harding himself wrote some reservations in his St. Louis speech which he believes will be acceptable to the Republican party. Railroads (Kansas City)—Regional consolidation og the country's railroad systems, so as to allow the weaker roads to lean upon the stronger; the railway labor board to be either strengthened or abandoned; cheaper freight rates to be commanded. Agricultural Prosperity (Hutchinson)—The party will "point with pride" to the vast array of agricultural relief legislation recently passed and stress the assertion of Mr. Harding in Hutchinson that "no government in the world has done so much for its farmers as has the administration in Washington in the last two years." Prohibition (Denver)—The party will be uncompromisingly dry; stand squarely behind the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead law and declare unequivocally for rigid enforcement. Coal (Cheyenne)—Absolute opposition to nationalization of the mines, as proposed by the Uniter Mine Workers, and more rigorous supervision of the industry by the government to prevent nation-wide strikes with their inevitable suering. The paramount interest of the public in the coal industry will be emphasized. Mr. Harding is not making any promises in his speeches. He is rather rendering an account of his stewardship and leaving promises for future delivery by the actual platform carpenters. He is not attempting so much to law down precise terms, as he is endeavoring to map out the broad outlines which he and his political advisers on this trip believe it is necessary to follow in the 1924 platform construction. Tonight in his Salt Lake City speech, the President will address another plank on taxation and governmental economy, which will be one of the chief ones. He will point out that the federal government has reduced expenditures and is now living within its income, due to economics effected at Washington. He told his Denver audience he would show in Salt Lake City that while the federal government has been decreasing its expenditures enormously, state and city governments have been increasing them enormously—to a point where local taxes are now considerably more than half of the burden under which the taxpayers are staggering. He will lay most of the blame for high taxes on local governments, and if the President has his way this feature of the taxation issue will be heavily stressed next year. NEWPORT RECALL PETITION DELAYED The expected petition for the recall of certain members of the Board of Trustees of Newport and Balboa was not presented at last night's meeting of the board, and harmony prevailed. The meeting is said to have been the most largely attended in on board's history. The feature of the meeting was the voicing of instructions to a committee of the board to continue their investigation of the causes of discoloration of the water at the beaches. The committee, after examining other beaches, had declared that seagage water from Los Angeles was responsible for the similar condition elsewhere. The committee is headed by Mayor J. J. Schnitzer. The proposed outsizing of certain trustees was reported to have been due to their having voted to kick out Joel Wilson from the police force. A controversy is said to have arisen between Newport Beach and Balboa over the manner in which the bathing girls' parade was conducted on Sunday. The report of the arrest of H. L. Sherman of Balboa was unfounded, however, and it was said today that not even a complaint had been issued against Sherman. The latter, a Balboan, was accused of allowing autos carrying the girls in the parade to travel over the board walk. WASHINGTON STROKE OAR HAS BAD KNEE POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 26—Gloom settled over the University of Washington camp here today with the definite announcement that Dow Walling, stroke of the 'Varsity boat in Thursday's inter-collegiate race, will be unable to row. Walling is suffering from blood poisoning, the result of a bite on his knee. The injury of the Washington star gave enew hope to other contestants, Cornell, Navy and Syracuse, who were out on the river early today, gave new hope to other contestants, and getting away practice. PAYS BILLS; DISMISSED Charles Derigo was scheduled to appear before Judge Brown today on the charge of reckless driving, but the case was dismissed on the motion of the district attorney. Derigo is said to have paid all the bills of those who were injured by him, and reimbursed them for their time. E. Baraso, charged with being drunk, was fined $10.

The President is due to arrive in Salt Lake City at noon. He was met in Ogden this morning by Governor Maybey, Senator Smoot, Senator King and other Utah political leaders who are to escort him into the capital city. A public reception at noon in the Hotel Utah and a quiet round of golf this afternoon were on the schedule, with a speech in the Mormon tabernacle at 8 p.m. The President will leave Salt Lake City at 11 o'clock tonight and go to Cedar City in Southern Utah, from which point he will enter Zion park tomorrow for a day's visit.
