Announcement by Gov. Frederick

nomination for United

Secretary of State, with virtually
a clear field to the nomination.
Gardner's friends last week
paid his filing fee and sent a

Secretary it State, requesting
that the governor be requested
to sign It. 'A man of common
sense should, when conditions
justify, change his mind."
Gov. Gardner announced today.
"I am one of those who
have frequently found it necessary
to do and I should be glad
indeed to find it possible to
change in this matter, but as I
said In a statement made to the

GOMPERS RAPS
MEXICO REPORT
Fall's Recommendations,
Are "Vicious" and War- j
like, He Says.
* .
Any attempt to carry out the
recommendations embodied in the
report on Mexico submitted byfthe
Senate Investigating Committee,
headed by Senator Albert B. Fall,
will mean war between the United
States and Mexico.
That is the view expressed yesterday
by Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of
Labor, who, speaking for continuance
of the friendly relations between
American and Mexican labor,
attacked the Fall report as thoroughly
"vicious" and "in accord
with the desires of American oil
and mining interests engaged in the
exploitation of Mexico." Mr. Gompers'
statoment was made co-incident
with the announcement that
many of the proposals of the Fall
committee would be included in the
tentative platform to be submitted
to the Republican National Convention.
"Adoption by the Senate of this ;
report." said Mr. Gompers. "would
constitute the adoption of a foreign
policy completely at variance with
the established traditions of our republic."

Chicago. June 3.?The league of
nations came to the fore today. Hiram
Johnson brought It to town.
Scarcely had the -music and flagwaving
and hurrahing of the Johnson
adherents ceased on Michigan
avenue when the league of nations
was injected into the pre-convention
chatter. The Californian served
notice he was trouble-making bent
for any Republican leaders who
hope to straddle the treaty issue.
Prepared to Take Rlaka.
Mr. Johnson is prepared to undertake
two great risks from the
standpoint of a candidate. He proposes
to appeal as a candidate directly
to convention delegates
rather than to the political agents
constituting the National CommitHe
is making no promises he
will not try to override the reeolu- '
tions committee on the treaty plank.
There appears every reason to believe
the convention will hear some
of the anti-treaty type of flag-waving
oratory that wajs so familiar
around Washington for many wearv
months.
The convention outlook of todiy
is favorable for that sort of tactics
by Senator Johnson. The Old Guard
machine is warming up, but there
are many places needing oil. Th<familiar
card-index of uninstructed
delegates has been started. It is
proving a difficult clerical task.

Three Virginia Congress
Seats to Be Contested
In August.
Richmond. Va.. June 3. ? There
will be contests in only three Congressional
districts in the Democratic
primaries to be held August
J. That was settled today when the
time limit for depositing entrance
fees with State Auditor Moore expired.
In the seventh, Col. Robert
F. Leedy will oppose Thomas W.
Harrison, incumbent; Representative
Patrick Henry Drewry will be
opposed in the fourth by Dr. Henry
Clay Smith.
In the second. State Senator J.
T. Deal, of Norfolk, and W. J. Kendrick,
of Suffolk, will fight It out
to a finish for the seat vacated by
Representative Edward E. Holland.
Representative Bland, of the first
district, will not have opposition
in the primary, but will be opposed
in the general election by 8.
P. Powell, of Spotsylvania, who is
rated as an independent.
Representative H. D. Flood also
may be opposed by an independent.
Carter Glass will be unopposed In
the primary for renomination for
the short senatorial term. .The
fifth and ninth districts do not hold
primaries, the convention plan being
in vogue in those districts.
Rorer James already has clinched
the Congressional nomination in the
fifth. Whether or not any Democrat
is to run against Representative
C. Bascom Slemp. Republican.
In the ninth is as yet problematical.
