Resignation of Mrs. Harmon J
Termed Harbinger of Fur
ther Disputes
By GEORGK NOX MtCAIN
A verification of mj pi edit turn of leu
dajs ago that an arrangement wui on
foot among certaiu leaders, the shrewd
est political deal of a generation, to
Induce Congressman .1. Hampton Moore
to become a majoralty candidate ap
pears to be at hand.
Unless the unforeseen occurs Con
gressman Moore will be a candidate His
declaration to that effect will be made
in a day or two.
Has Many Callcis
For the last fortj -efght horns he has
had the question under discussion with
political leaders of both factious and
captains of indiistr.'. Great pressure
has been brought to bear upon him. Ills
office has been the JUccca for vitrd
leaders and members of the committee
of one hundred for two dajs.
If he decides to become the standard -
bearer of the Independents I do not
think that be will make any explicit
declaration agaiust the ares as po
litical leaders. Senntor Pentose has
tcpeatcdly stated that his oigauization,
the Republican Alliance, will not in
dorse a candidate miles he declares
flatly against the Varcs. He reitejratcd
this declaration jcsterclaj. Under con
ditions, however, which have developed
within forty-eight hours he may modi
fy his view and be content with a less
drastic platform.
Moore to Matte Demands
In jiclding to the tremendous picss
ure brought upon him. Congressman
Moore will make certain counter de
mands of the partj. What these aic
will develop later in the campaign.
"Anjbody is free to vote for whom
he pleases at the primaries," said a
Republican leader jesfcrday. I mcrcl.v
quote this to indicate the attitude of
tcitain politicians.
Congressman Moore will receive n
heavy vote in the Martin -Lane wards.
Senator Martin and the venerable David
Lane, the schoolmaster of the Repub
lican party in Philadelphia, huve de
clared their regularity They have an
nounced in newspaper interviews that
they would abide bj the decision of
the Republican citj committee in the
choice of candidate.
Notwithstanding this, they might be
as regular as a steel square, and jet
their districts would poll heavily for
Moore !
Wh ?
Serves Rest Intetcsts
It was simply impossible to override
Moore's popularity. As tVtr congress
man, and I am quoting the petfectly
plausible and self-satisfjing nrgument
of any discreet ward leader under nnj
advance issue for the organization at
the primaries, "he knew every man of i
. Importance in the district,' lie Intel '
served the interests of eciy business
man and manufacturer. He is the most
popular congressman in the tit. That
explains his big vote."
Dissecting the large vole that Con
gressman Moore would uudoubtcdlj ic
ccivo due to his popularity, his effi
cient carerr as congressman and tin
outpouring of Independent "voters, added
to which would be the solid majority
controlled by Couneilmau Scger and his
lo-worker Charles II. Hall in the Sev
enth ward, it would not require bj any
means an overwhelming vote iu the
Martin-Lane districts to tide tho con
gressman to victor. A majority of. the
Vare organization, even though start
liugly reduced, would be evidence of the
"regularit " of Messrs. Martin and
l.nnr,
The attiudo of the regular organ!
ration, controlled by Senator Vare, by
the logic of the situation will be an
tagonistic to Mr, Moore. It could not
well be otherwise unless the party ac
cepts hint perforce on an implied basis
of fair play. With, however, a square
defiance lluug ut them bj Mr. Moore

INDEMNITY FOR RUSSIA
By the Associated Press
Washington, Aug. fl. In its hearings
on economic sections of the Versailles
treaty, the Senate foreign relations com
mittee got into a sharp argument to
dav over the league of nations, during
which Chnirman Lodge declared re
pented attempts to secure information
on the league from President Wilson
had been unavailing.
"The President." said Senator
Lodge, "hus never offered to come be
fore this committee. He only sent a
telephone message sa.ving he would be
glad to have the committee come to the
White House. Wc have called for
paper after paper, and he has not sent
one."
Chairman Raps for Order
Senator Fall, Republican, New Mex
ico, lemnrked that the committee did
see the Picsidcnt nt the White House
on his Hrst return from France, .but
failed to secure from him any important
information. Democratic memhers of
the committee replied nnd the argument
became so sharp that (he chairman had
to rap for order.
The clash interrupted the testimony of
N'orman Davis, nn economic itdviser to
the Vt rsnilles conference, regarding the
leparation clauses of the treaty and
was accepted by some senntors as a
foretaste of what is to be expected when
Secretar.v Lansing appears before the
committee tomorrow.

regarded it as probable that Russia
would participate in the indemnity to
be paid by Germnuj in the event that it
organized a stable government.
"Russia made a tremendous contri
bution toward winning the war," Mr.
Davis said, "and it was the general
feeling that the door should not be
closed completed j to her in the event
a stable government was organized.
