U.S PRESIDENCY.

THE REPUBLICAN SELECTION.

RECORD OF MR, HARDING, By Telegraph.—Press Asn.—Copyright New York, June 13. Mr, Warren G- Harding, Republican Presidential nominee, is a newspaper man, being editor and owner of the Marion Star, Ohio. He has Scottish descent on his father's side. In 1900 Mr. Harding entered the Senate, and in 1904 and 1906 he was elected Lieut.-Governor of Ohio. In the Senate he was a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, and was an earnest supporter of President Wilson's administration for the prosecution of the war, but later criticised him severely to the end of the war.

Mr. Harding advocated prompt peacemaking and some legitimate co-operation among the nations of the world, which would lessen the danger of war. He opposed the League of Nations without effective reservations.

As soon a 9 Mr. Harding's nomination was announced, about two-thirds of the delegates rose up, hundreds climbed on their chair*, and a few women waved damp handkerchiefs in the effort to add a feminine touch to the first National Convention in which they had participated. However, there was no frenzy, no hat smashing, and. no parade worthy of mention. In fact there was so little cheering that a few minutes after the nomination the delegates and spectators stood listless in the Coliseum.

'DEMOCRATIC COMMENT. Washington, June 14. Mr. Colby, Secretary of State, commenting on Senator Harding's nomination as Republican candidate for the Presidency, said that from the standpoint of the Democrats the nomination of Senator Harding was very admirable, because it tended to clarify and emphasise every issue between the Democrats and Repub-licans.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. LABOR PARTY DISCONTENTED. Ottawa, June 13. Amid tremendous applause, the annual convention of the Federation of Labor at Montreal adopted a report condemning the Republican Convention at Chicago for turning its back upon Labor. Mr. Gompers, reading the report, criticised various sections of the Republican plank. He asserted that the Labor declaration of the Republican platform proposes industrial enslavement and the abrogation of rights. The executive council directed that Labor's demand be submitted in identical form to the Democratic Convention at San Francisco.
