|l Senkte Hope
Of Republicans
0ort? Are Being Made to
Oast Democrats in Idaho,'
South Dakota, Maryland,
?California and Kentucky
numerous Issues Involved
Qose Fights Expected in
Some States Where Har?
ding Will Win Easily
The Republican leaders, while coafi
?j*at of victory, make no concealment
if their solicitude with reference to
?jie control of the United States Senate
jfter the November election.
There is a conviction that Harding:
md Coolidge will win, and with this
jons a like conviction that the tide for
the electoral ticket will carry with it
the Republican candidates for the Sen?
ate in the doubtful states.
Ib California, Idaho, South Dakota,
Kentucky and Maryland battles are
being wagred with especial reference to
the capture of Senators to replace Dem
?rtia* . ? e *v
The following survey of the situa?
tion may be accepted as a conservative
review of the condition in the states
which will choose Senators this fall:
California?The victory of Sam?
uel Shortridge, of San Francisco, In
the Republican primaries over William
Xent, of Kentfield, and A. J. Wallace,
ef Los Angeles, may be regarded as a
victory 'or regularity. Shortridge has
fjw radical inclinations, although he
mj?g the choice of Hiram Johnson for
th? nomination. He did not receive
gay vocable support from him, al?
though Johnson's organization was
bio?**n to be behind him. The Demo?
cratic candidate, James D. Phelan, sit?
ting member, is popular in the state.
Naturally, he enjoys the confidence of
Californiens, and has done much for
?the state in matters of legislation. The
?nersl belief is that Shortridge will
curry the state, that Harding and Cool?
idge will redeem California from its
1916 shortcoming, and that Shortridge
will run behind the ticket but very
little. The chances distinctly favor his
election.
Wadsworth Gaining Every Day
? New York?United States Senator
Junes W. Wadsworth jr., in the judg
nent of the Republican managers, is i
?ining ground daily, despite the at- |
taeks on him by the suffragists and the ??
irys. Both the national and state man?
igera concede that Wadsworth will be j
eat, especially in the southern tier!
cuant?es and in some of the New York
City boroughs. The Republican leaders j
?y that he will not run more than 60,
000 or 65,000 behind Harding and Cool- ,
i?ke In the state, and that this means ?
thithe will win by at least 100,000.
New Hampshire?Senator Moses has
bera ?nominated in the Republican
primary by 12.000 or more majority.
Women voting in New Hampshire for |
the first time apparently cast more than
SO per cent of the new feminine vote !
for the Republican candidate. Senator ;
Moses's chances for reelection are ex?
tremely bright. He is running against
Raymond B. Stevens, former vice-chair- '.
tun of the United States Shipping
Board. The state is safely T. publican.
?Connecticut ?? Senator I-rank B.
Brandegee has b-.en renominated
?aanimously by the Republican State
CiBvention. He is being opposed by'
'"meical suffragists, but supported by
tfct moderate women and the intense
antis at a rate which is expected to
??eount suffragist antagonism. He is
japected tc carrv Connecticut by ap- !
Jradnjately 25,000.
Maryland Will Be Close

?wminee in Maryland, has had the in
(Me track in his contest with Senator '
John Walter Smith, the sitting mem- '
?.and, with the exception of a de?

?*^-?A?p?i H. Camar?n, th?
Republican nominee in Arizona, seem
to have the inside track for election
in that state. The state is normally
Democratic by from 6,000 to 10,000, but
the sitting membpr, Marcus Aurelius
Smith, has been losing favor by rea?
son of too slavish adherence to Presi?
dent Wilson, and is charged with not
having taken care of the interests of
Arizona.
Washington?In the State of
Washington Senator Wesley L. Jones,
the sitting member, has been renomi
nated over his Republican opponent,
Colonel Inglis, by more than a two to
one majority. This is equivalent to
an election, almost, in the state where
the onset against Wilsonism has been
multiplying for many months and
where the suspicion that Governor Cox
it. antipathetic toward strict enforce?
ment of the Volstead law has done the
Democratic party grave damage. In
obtaining the nomination by such a
wide margin Senator Jones may now
count upon practically the solid sup?
port of all Republicans in the state.
In Washington the Nonpartisan League
has endeavored to infiltrate the Demo?
cratic party with irregular and par?
ticularly marked success. The Non
partisan League in affiliation with the
radical labor elements and with the
Socialists may be expected to do the
Democrats about as much harm as good
in Washington. The anticipation is
that Harding and Coolidge will carry
the state by from 80,000 to 120,000 and
that Senator Jones will be re?lected
by from 50,000 upward.
Complex Situation in Oregon
Oregon ?In Oregon the conditions ro
garding the national ticket all favor a
plurality for Harding and Coolidge.
The popularity of prohibition in Oregon
is marked. Governor Cox was hailed
at the hour of his nomination as the
wettest candidate which the Satv Fran?
cisco convention had considered. The
papers of the state are almost- a unit
against him. The Portland Oregonian
is supporting Harding and Coolidge
most actively. The state was ramified
with pro-league sentiment throughout
the protracted debate on the treaty
issue in the .Senate. Some of this pro
league sentiment? yet remains in Ore
ton, but it is inconsequential when put
into juxtaposition with the prohibition
issue.
Nevertheless, in Oregon Senator
George E. Chamberlain, former Demo?
crat and sitting member, enjoys a
unique popularity. He was elected to
the Senate twelve years ago by a Re?
publican state Legislature, having won
his way in a state-wide non-partisan
primary. He was re?lected in 1914 by
a large majority, although the state
vent Republican. He can invariably
c.unt on from 75,000 to 100,000 Repub?
lican voters in the state voting for him
on personal account. He is opposed
for election by Robert P. Stansfield, an
excellent candidate, but it is regarded
by the Republican leaders as unlikely
that the personal popularity of Senator
Chamberlain can be overcome. If the
state gives a majority in excess of
3 00,000 for Harding and Coolidge,
Chamberlain's seat will be in jeopardy,
but otherwise he is the probable
winner.
Pennsylvania?In Pennsylvania Sena?
tor Boies Penrose without doubt will
attain a majority which must be reck?
oned in hundreds of thousands. It is
hardly likely that his majority will be
less than half a million. Any active
campaign in this state is unnecessary,
so far as the national organization is
concerned.
Cox Far Behind in Straw Votes;
Odds 3 to 1 Harding Wins Ohio
Republicans Now Expect 150,000 Majority in State,
as Democrats Lose Ground Even in
Strong Labor Centers
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 26.?Odds that
Senator Harding will carry Ohio in the
November ?lection jumped to 3 to 1
to-day, with very little Cox?money in
sight. Until now the odds have hov?
ered around even, with some bets
placed at 2 to 1, with Cox on the short
end.
Political observers predict that Har?
ding will carry the state by from 135,
000 to 150,000, basing their belief upon
the results of straw votes and polls
throughout Ohio. The significant fea?
ture is that in all the industrial cen?
ters, where Democrats are making a
strong play for the labor vote, Cox has
run far behind.
In the poll conducted in movie the?
aters by the Associated First National
Pictures, Incorporated, Cleveland, nor?
mally a Democratic city, returned a
3 to 1 vote for Harding and also re?
corded a strong sentiment against the
League of Nations. In Cleveland the
latest figures tabulated give Harding
5,998 votes, as against 2,948 for Cox.
The Cleveland figures are typical of
the results elsewhere in the state, aa
' Cox led in but four cities?Dayton,
Hamilton, Middletown and Martin
Ferry.
In his home town of Dayton, Cox
was able to poll a majority of only 93
out of 1,217 votes cost. Middletown,
his boyhood home, gave Cox a majority
of 3 out of 879 votes cast. Hamilton
was the one place where Cox showed
any strength, polling 2,743 votes to 438
for Harding. Cincinnati, Columbus,
Toledo, Youngstown, Canton and Lan?
caster all returned strong Harding ma?
jorities.
In Cincinnati the straw vote being
taken by The Enquirer, the Democratic
organ of Hamilton County, reveals a
strong trend toward Harding. In the
first days of the poll Cox led by a few
votes, but figures to-day give Harding
3,996; Cox, 2,960. In a separate tabu?
lation of votes by women The En?
quirer poll gives Harding 202 to 15C
for Cox.
The results of other straw vote?
throughout the state have been th?
same, and it is this which has in?
creased the odds on the propositior
that Cox will not even carry Daytor
or Montgomery County in November
There is little Cox money in sight
even on such bets.
Harding Quits
Porch, Sure
He Is Victor
? (Continued fret? pafe an?)
Harding's newspaper, me Marion Star.
All of them are now influential citi?
zens. A few came here from New
York, some from tlie Southwest, while
some still live in Marion.
When these boys carried The Star
the Hardings were newly married. Mrs.
Harding's father, Amos Kling, Marion's
wealthiest citizen, had virtually dis?
owned her for marrying young Har?
ding, and altogether the couple had ?
pretty hard row to hoe.
"How many of you boys did I evei
spank?" asked Mrs. Harding smilinglj
this afternoon. "Put your hands up."
Some of the men grouped around th<
porch steps were bald and a few wen
gray-haired, but half a dozen of then
sheepishly poked their hands up, ami<
a shout of l?u_hter from the others
"Jimmy" Wood was one of those wh?
raised his hand. Mrs. Harding looke?
at him quizzically and then reminde?
him that when she had spanked hin
the other newsboys had all but re
volted.
Most of Vie spankings, it developec
! were given to discourage laziness. On
' of the former newsies reminded Mri
Harding that she had been as prompt t
reward them as to punish.
During the remaining five weeks c
? '.he campaign Senator Harding will b
I away almost continuously on speakin
trips. His return to Marion will b
brief. The big concern of the Republ
> cans from now on is to hold what the
| have won for Senator Harding and t
do all possible to increa-:e the slcndc
Republican majority in the Senat
i which consists of two votes, one c
which is that of .Senator Newberry, c
Michigan. The loss of a single ses
i would throw the Senate into a tie. Th
j trip to Baltimore is being mffde by tl
i candidate quite as much in the inte
ests of O. E. Weiler as for hin-sel
j Weiler is the Republican who is seel
ir.g the seat of Senator Walter Smit
and the best information here is th?
Weller has an excellent chance.
The future speaking trips of Senat?
Harding are being routed with an ej
to the Senatorial contests. Thirty-foi
Senators are to be elected in thirt;
three states out of the thir'y-four e:
piring terms. Nineteen are those ?

Defines Real Progress
Co-operation in Interest of
Business and Agriculture
Held Essential Policy
Senator Warren G. Harding, writing
on "Why I Should Be Elected Presi?
dent," in The Christian Herald for Oc?
tober 2, forecasts under a Republican
Administration an era of practical
progressivism, when government will be
more businesslike, more competent anc
more satisfactory to the country.
"If there were no other reason, 1
should be elected President because th?
Republican party, which I represent
can summon to serve with me the mos
competent men in the executive, legis
lative, judicial and diplomatic depart
ments of our government," writes th?
Republican nominee. "It is important
therefore, that the majority whicl
votes for me also votes for Rep?blica)
members of House and Senate, so tha
there shall be a united governmenl
capable of restoring to the people o
the United States an efficient admin
istration of their affairs, conducted ac
cording to their will, representing ther
?indeed, an Administration in contras
to an Administration of exclusioi
aloofness, personal wilfulness an
bungling.
"I should be elected President b?
cause I am seeking to become the sei
vant of the people, pledging myself t
make no bids for popular favor by ros
promises that cannot be kept, or,
kept, would result in takins the righl
and income of all the citizens to confi
special benefits upon a single class.
Demands Real Progressiveneaa
"I and those who will vote for *n
will stand behind true progresan
measures for America. But we wi
distinguish between the mere progre
sive label and the package that co:
tains the useful article.
"If being a progressive means beit
in favor of extending the functions
government to take in the ownersh
and operation of any business, bett
and safer done by American priva
initiative, then the majority of
Americans are not progressives.
"If being a progressive means beii
in favor of compromising with Bolshe
ism, then I and the overwhelming m
jority of Americans are not progre
sives.
"If .being ?a progressive means ce
tralizing of government in one mt
or building up an autocracy with t
sign 'democracy' flapping over the do.
then we are not progressives.
"If being a progressive means try i
to prop up a League of Nations th
has been so badly built that even n>
foundations must be provided, then
are not. progressives,
"I should be elected President 1
cause I and those millions of fi
American citizens who will be bchi
me are not the kind of progressix
that our opponents are defending a
desire to imitate.
"1 should be elected President 1
cause I and the American citizens w
will vote for me. and for whom 1 spe
r.ow, are progressives of a differ?
kind.
"We believe that we do not wi

better government. This is being pr,
tical progressives.
"We believe that we do not wanl
crumbling, tottering, imperfect Leaf
of Nations, but one built upon a n
and sure foundation, if it be God's v
to allow us to create an association
prevent war and foster amity. T
is being practical progressives.
Urges Remedy for Strikes
"We believe that we do not want i
more feather-dustering around
rights and obligations of Ameri
labor arjd of American business,
believe that the government, to prev
strikes and lockouts, should ere
adequate mach'iip*-y to be used wh
ever the parties to industrial dispi
desire to use it, not by compulsion
by their own volition, and that 1
machinery should also act to brief ;
,report to the people of the country
sworn evidence as to the facts of
dust.rial disputes. This is being pi
tical progressives.
"We believe that American busir
and American government have nlw
heen too far apart,.and that dose as?
sociation between the two will result
?n giving the government new power
to eliminate from business unfair prac?
tices and profiteering, and will give
American business new government
service in developing internal com?
merce, a better protection of business
Tights, a merchant marina, foreign
trade, new markets overseas, credit
Information service, better cable com?
munications and a full use of our
power to protect the American, wher?
ever, acting, under his rights, he may
go. We believe that government and
business should enter a partnership of
honor?the government cleaving, how?
ever, to its proper functions. This is
being practical progressives.
Opposes Unearned Profits
"We believe that the basic industry
of a nation is agriculture and that, to
preserve American agriculture we must
?limin?t? so far as possible whatever ;
useless steps or unearned profits there
may be in the distribution of farm i
products which result in the price to
the farmer being inadequate and the
price to the consumer swollen and un?
fair. We believe that the farmer should
have such a share in our prosperity as
will guarantee him an ability to keep j
labor on his farm. It is vital to Amer- j
ica's future that the capitalistic land
owner and his tenant farmer should not ?
supplant the land-owning farmer, and ;
we propose measures to give credit to
men who desire to buy farms and also
measures to effect further cooperative
buying and selling of products between
farmers and consumers. This is be?
ing practical progressives.
"I should be elected President be?
cause it is practical progressives who
will stand with me against the dangers |
of impractical progressives?those who
meddle abroad and neglect our own de
velopment at home, those who make
class or racial appeals and so divide j
the interests of all-American citizen
ship, those who have their eyes fixed
upon the mirage of a millennium !
brought about by spending money lav- j
ishly out of the public treasury. ,
' "I and that overwhelming majority
of Americans who are practical pro- j
gressives want to get back on to the !
main road and go forward. We have
little faith in short cuts. We want to
rely upon the industry and integrity,
the merit, capacity and worth of each
of us true Americans, so that all of us,
pulling together toward reachable ends,
may share in the prosperity and the
prestige that the men and women of
America, both Democrats and Republi?
cans, still may snatch from the liando

Cox Fund Charges
Said to React on
His Own Candidacy
Secretory Miller Asserts
No Proof Was Produced;
Bariich Gifts and San
Francisco Junkets Cited
Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the
Republican National Committee, in a
statement last night declared investi?
gation by the Senate committee in?
vestigating campaign funds had "failed
to disclose anv evidence of a $30,000,
000 slush fund', a $15,000,000 slush fund
and a $10,000,000 slush fund, or a slush
fund of any kind to tie used for the
purpose of electing Senator Harding
to the Presidency of the United States."
Mr. Miller arrived here to-night
from Washington, where he attended
the committee hearings. The state?
ment was made public as his "conclu?
sions as to the evidence."
He declared "the charge of illegal
campaign contributions rebounded in
the direction of Governor Cox."
The week's investigation, he said,
"also discloses that Barney Baruch has
made an actual contribution of $96,500
to the Democratic campaign and its
side show, the Wilson League of
Nations, and that he has a liability of
an additional ?12,500, making a con?
tribution of $109,000.
Mr. Miller declared one of the Demo?
cratic charges had been that Repub?
lican arguments "were being circulated
by insidious and under-cover propa?
ganda."
"No evidence of any such effort ba?
been disclosed," the statement^ as?
serted. It declared the investigatior
"has destroyed the bugaboo of th?
William Barnes book and has estab?
lished that the Democrats have beer
doing precisely the thing which the>
so vociferously proclaimed was & Re?
publican crime."
The committee, Mr. Miller said, gave
a number pf hours to investigating
"the curious phenomena of coinci?
dences by the presence in San Fran?
cisco at the date of the Democratic
National Convention of attach?s of the
Attorney General's office, the Secre?
tary of Agriculture's office. United
States marshals and other government
officials."
"Alibi and Lullaby"
"All, according to vouchers, went on
'government business,' and in several
cases the government paid their ex?
penses," the statement continued. "In
nearly every'instance the visit of the
individual was the first he had ever
made to the Pacific Coast. The ex?
planations made subsequently by these
gentlemen can be characterized as
'alibi and lullaby.'
"All in all," the statement concerted,
"the week was a Waterloo for those
who charged the Republican party was
trying to 'slush' its candidates into of?
fice. The testimony did more than dis?
prove the charges of Governor Cox. It
showed that the cry of 'Stop thief!' was
an attempt to divert attention from the
activities being pursued by the politi?
cal party which has the Ohio Executive
as its candidate."

Depew Urges Wadsworth
Election as State Duty
Former Senator Chauncey M. Depevi
yesterday wrote to Senator Joseph S
Frelinghuysen, of the Republican Sena
torial Committee, in behalf of Senatoi
Wadsworth.
"The Republican party is fortunat?.
in its candidates," he wrote. "This it
especially true in its selection of Jame:
W. Wadsworth jr. for Senator. I hav<
known Mr. Wadsworth from boyhood
and watched his career with great in
terest. He was for several terms i
member of the lower house in the Nev
York Legislature and so highly re
garded by his associates that the;
elected him Speaker. There is no bet
ter school for training for Ferlerai
service than the New York Assembly,
and it requires tact, judgment, wisdom
and ability to be its leader.
"On entering the United States Sen?
ate, Mr. Wadsworth was at on?M recog?
nized as a valuable Senator. He has
grown in power and influence with his
years of service and has become one of
the acknowledged leaders of that body.
With his admirable equipment and
demonstrated ability New Yoi-j*-? will
honor herself and do a valuable service
to the country by again electing James

Three hundred years ago
?taxes in Virginia were paid
with corn.
The rate was two and a half
barrels of corn for three acres
of land
What a glorious feast they
must have had when it came
time to eat the taxes !
For from Virginia cornmeal are
made those justly famous grid?
dle cakes served at CHILDS.
