It probably will turn what many expect to be merely -a ratification meeting into a contest.

Republican presidential nomination' with the stalwart conservative Republican forces aligned on the one side and the forces represented by such lead ers as Senators Johnson of Califor nia, Borah of Idaho and La Follette of Wisconsin on the other. Six months ago the renomination of President Harding without any substantial contest seemed to be as sured. One of the men who was regarded as his likely principal opponent for the nomination had confessed to a colleague and friend that he found himself without an issue. The President's pronouncement for entry of the United States Into the World Court, however, 1 altered the situation materially, and during the last few -weeks there has come definite information through the channels by-which political captains maintain their intelligence systems that all was not going to be as clear sailing as had been expected in the Republican national convention of 1921 and that there might be a contest after all.

Marion, Aug. 3. The famous Harding front porch, the focal point of the 1920 campaign, today presented a sorrowful contrast to the summer afternoons of three years ago when President Harding, then only a candidate for his position, enunciated his policies to thousands of enthusiastic pilgrims, or stood, flanked by his wife, greeting well-wishers with the quiet smile which became one of his marked characteristics as chief executive. All was quiet around the spac-clous gray structure and the placid reaches of Mount Vernon Avenue seemed even more tranquil than usual.
