ILLINOIS DELEGATE TO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION WILL NOT SUPPORT HARDING, G. G. P., GEIGEAIEE, WEL SUPPORTS CHICAGO—Harold L. Ickes, one of Illinois' eight delegates-at-large to the republican national convention that nominated Senator Harding tonight announced that he would support Governor James Cox, the democratic nominee for the presidency. Mr. Ickes was instructed at the convention for Governor Lowden and the final ballot, when Senator Harding was nominated, he voted for Senator Hiram Johnson. He was a progressive in 1912, later becoming Illinois progressive state chairman and national committeeman. In 1916 he was a member of Charles E. Hughes' campaign committee. "I shall continue to affiliate with the republican party," said Senator Harding. "But I cannot in good conscience support for president a candidate who was not the choice of his party and whom I regard as unworthy to be chief executive of this nation by the tests of ability, public policies, official record and independence of character." Mr. Ickes' Suffrage Pleases Harding. Marion, Ohio.—(By A. P.)—Senator Harding declared today that the granting of suffrage to American women will be especially welcome to the republicans in the coming campaign because of the "great moral and social reform, recently achieved, are menaced by the covert purpose of our opponents to attack it."
