Blaze of Party Rivalry
To End Campaign in Ohio
Republicans Claim State by 100,000 to 200,000,
but Will Continue to Work; Harding Pleased
With Keeeption on Western INew York Trip
Fro ' o Staff Correspondent
MARION, Oct. 22. - When Senator
' Harding appeared this morning in his
little private office in the headquarters
building just across from the front
porch, he found upon hi? desk a large
stack of letters and telegrams, for
there is no such thing as rest for that
s?>n of toil, a candidate for the Presi?
dency.
I'pon the road he is at everybody's
mercy. His private car, the only home
he can claim, is overrun with folk, all
excellent persons, doubtless, but all
fevered, and obsessed with a mad de?
termination to take the great man o:T
into the most private of corners and
whisper to him the thrilling informa?
tion that "I know what's going ? n in
our part of the state, Mr. President,
and don't let anybody tell you lifter?
ont." At times when he should be rest?
ing or sleeping to recover from the
exhausting grind of a dozen speeches a
day, lie is caught by amiable but
thoughtless fellow citizens and whirled
hither and yon, hand shaken until his
wrist swells to a siae half again as
great as normal, pursued and pestered
and pecked at until the wonder is that
human reason can stand so much with?
out a temperamental explosion of some
kind.
At home, where the hard-ridder
creature of destiny has a right tc
look for repose, he finds not onl>
masses of correspondence demanding
instant and particular attention, bul
v s;: ?ng politicians who hammer at his
door demanding the five minutes thai
always grow into half an hour. IK
m st 'a:! away at preparing; advance
speeches so that the newspapers maj
carry some record of his daily though!
in section? of the United States th.v
lack up-to-date telegraphic facilities
Of pr vacy, he has none. He is trailei
in'o his private apartments, and th?.
flavor of h s cifrar is ruined by th<
small talk of pi I it ici ans.
No man can better read the lamen
'aliens of Job. can have a better un
tanding of what was in Job':
mind, than he who is aspiring; to be th?
Pr sident of the United States.
Hears Good News I n m New Jersey
So, as has been said, Senator Laid
ing rested in Marion to-day, chattin?
with his fri?n I, Senator Edge, who i
here for a visit of a day or tw'o, an?
hearing some good news from Ne-,
Jersey. Senator Edge has not
as to what his slate will do for th
national ticket.
Senator Harding considers that hi
trip to western New York was a sue
cess. Some people had feared thi
possible effect of an appearance ii
such labor centers as Rochester am
Buffalo, wheie Cox has been busy an
where the agents of Gompers hav?
bet n hard at. work. As a matter o
fact, the several audiences in thos
cities, were largely composed of labor
ing men, and ?larding received froi
them a very cordial greeting. He v, a
r, t heckled at any time, ami th
principal characteristic of he Nei
York State meetings was tense in
ti rest in what he had to say and grea
. - ; cet for him personal y.
As regards New York State and it
I political drift, the ?nformaticn tha
comes to Senator Harding is of th
?i '. It is true, of course, that fo\
? iple care to carry ill news to
candidate. It might be excellent
the Republican National Commit!"
could hire Democrats in every cit
I d " y their man to go to hii
with the opinions and prognostic!
? ons of the other side. As a rule h
gets too much of rosy report. Al
; ?mpting, however, every necessai
'? unt as regai ?Is ! he New Yo r
situation, Senator Harding feels ih:
state is his comfortably, and
willing ti? accept the estimate of
majority of not less than 300,000, c
Cory for Wadsworth by somethin
and of victory for Judge Mill?
' v still less.
lie is ready row to return his attei
ICn to his own state. In the clos i i
days of the campaign Ohio will rir
and resound with campaign orator
It remains the battleground of the I!)'.
[campaign, and the contest will be
fought as savagely as political contest
'was ever waged between Lake Erie and
' the Ohio River. Harding himself,
? Charles E. Huche--, Hiram Johnston,
doubtless, and many other ?if the lead
. ing Republican speakers will cover the
state from end to end. and in every
district and county lesser folk will he
busy.
While Harry M. Daugherty claims
: Ohio by 100.000 for publication and
privately believes Harding's majority
'will run to 200,000, neither Mr. Daugh
! erty nor any one else is standing idly
by. They are working ami will work
until the last hour of the camffaign.
riu same is true of the Democrat-.
Cox, having toured Indiana ostensibly
to help Tom Taggart, but actually in
th?- interest-; of ..'ames Middleton Cox,
: will hasten into Ohio in th?' last week
ami then sparks will fly. The bitterest
campaign in the history of the state is
predicted.
As for Senator Harding, he purposes
> continue tit?? calm an.! even tenoi
of his dignified way, confining liimsclt
entirely to the issues of the campaign
the League of Nations especially. Hr
does not intend to attack Govcrnoi
Cox or President Wilson or any othei
individual, nor even to mention then
| by name. 1!?? does not believe in thai
sort of fighting. There will he plent.\
of it, however, without him, and it
spite of his personal position, for Co:
will tin?! in this state Republican;
?.'.i '?' as familiar with rough an?
| tumble scrapping as he is himself.
League Issue Emphasized
So far as the Republican campaigi
to he conducted in Ohio hn 1 else
whore, for that matter, is concerned
especial efforts will be made to hoi?
In. in?' Republicans who are still, mor
oc less, touched hypnotically about th
league and who scent to he waverin?
? : r cours ?'. It can be rial ed : ha
.'? ? ator Harding himself will take tow?
ard these the following attitude:
First -He will essay to prove tha
1 ague covenant as presented <
and rejected by the Senate is a wa
breeder and not a war prevente)
wholly un-American in certain part:
.--.tcli as Article X. and entirely unac
?eptable. He will endeavor to clea
away any possible d?"ii)t as to au un
amended, rcservationless covenant. II
?' against it will not hav? it.
Second lie will try to make every
body understand that Europe, an
France particularly, cares little whethc
United States re ?eci the prescr
''?eue proposition, so loll;; as th
United S-;.: s consents to join sun
form of world associatic n l?vele
against the spirit of war and injustice
;4' lias to support, him in his contei

ion and authority, including St?
phanc Lauzanne, the noted editor. II
will state that his main purpose is t
about a world association of tit
nature, one that all of the people (
he United Stales ran approve, and thi
to th s ?-n?l he will seek and folio
the advice of the sanest, sounde:
| minds that can he foun-< -Republican
Democrats, women as will as men.
( Ox's Predicament
Taking; their cue from their paO
(.chief, campaign speakers will foil.'
these main ideas in the closing da;
of the campaign, ami will empli i i:
i point in particular, that friend; ?
?a practical, workable world as ? clatic

Governor Cox, who stands committi

Moreover, the poinl wii! he mad?; th

Says Coolidge
Massachusetts Governor in
His Speech at Kiehmond
ft 1 a m e s Administration
for High Living Cost
Opposes Waiver of Debts
Let Foreign Nations Pay
Their War Obligations.
Declares the Candidate
I^rom a Stoff Correspondent
RICHMOND, Va,, Oct. 22. America's
duty in to solve its own economic prob
lema before attempting to reconstruct
Europe, Governor Calvin Coolidge de?
clared to-day in his campaign through
Virginia. He asserted that the higl
cost of living was due largely to thi
unwisdom of the present Administra
tion in sending billions of dollars
worth of food and clothing to Europe
at a time when these supplies were
needed at home.
The Republican party, the Governoi
sai?!, is pledged to build up America
first and foreign countries, afterward
The party will not look with favor or
the suggestion that the A ?lies' \va;
debts to this country be cancelled, hi
added.
The Governor's tour to-day took hin
into several towns regarded as Demo
cratic strongholds. He spoke in Rich
mond to-night before an audienc?
: which tendered him an ovation.
Heckler Answered
At South Boston, Ya., the Governor':
special train stopped because the towT
bears the same name as the Massachu
setts capital.
The specchmaking in South Bostoi
'was interrupted by the first hecklinj
experienced since the party left Wash
ington last Sunday. Governor Morrov
of Kentucky, who, with Governor Low
den of Illinois and Job E, Hedges, o
New York, is making rear platforn
speeches, had launched an attack oi
the League of Nations when somebod;
in the crowd yelled: 'Well, tell us wha
Lodge and Root want more war'.'"
"I'll tell you what they want," re
plied Governor Morrow. "They wan
an enforcement of the principles firs
voiced by Virginia's most illustriou
citizen, George Washington. They wan
to keep this country free from en
tangling foreign alliances. They wan
to prove the right of a free people t
refuse to send its soldiers to fight th
wars of other nations."
Referring to the high cost of livint
Governor Coolidge said the presen
Administration had neglected every op
portunity to relieve it. "You would hav
thought the government would hav
taken eveiy precaution to lift the bur
??ens heaped upon our people," he con
tinned. "Yet $4,000,000,000 worth o
supplies were sent to Europe and so!
there for $400,000,000, or one-tent
their cost. At a time when sugar wa
selling for 20 cents a pound m thi
country we sold 22,000,000 pounds t
France for '2 cents a pound. Had thos
supplies been kept here they would ma
tcrially have reduced the cost of livinj
"Most of our economic unrest is du
to the refusal of the present Adminis
tration to relinquish its war-time pow
ers. While here in Virginia, I am re
minded that Washington, immediate]
aftei tin Revolutionary War. app? ire
before the Continental Congress t
give up the power intrusted to hin
But ?.ur present Administration, almos
two year;-- after the armistice, sti
diners to its power, although severa
times the Republican Congress lia
trie?! to restore the country to a peace
time basis."
Sympathy for Wilson
Governor Coolidge told his audienc
in Richmond that Senator Haritig ur
the views <>:' Washington and Jel
ferson, rather than those of Woodro'
Wilson. He added:
"Allow me hero, in the sta'e thi
gave him birth and that has added hi
name as the eighth of her son;-, to a
tain tl:?' Presidency, to express the syn
pathy of Massachusetts and th.? syn
pathy of the party of which 1 am
member to President Wilson in his i!
ness, and to express the hope of h
speedy and complete recovery."
Concerning the Allies' war debts t
tins country, the Governor sail; "Th
ition has been made that i.he te
o? twelve billion - of debt ? dm t-, i
from abroad should be cancelled,
? ???? to n e that if that amount i
m0 :'? ;- to be giveil i.V.UV
should be given, not to foreigners, bt
to Americans.
"The destiny of the world will ha\
to b ' worked our by hard and persistei
? ?forts. The people abroad will hav,.- i

shall have to work out ours, not: thron?:

that my husband consults me.
"We both believe that it is more com?
fortable if both, members of the family
are not interested in politics. Wouldn't

- don't say that no woman ou^ht to go
out and strive for a career of her own.
Every woman must arrange her own

3 to ? Offered That Senator
Will Carry Ohio and 7 to 5
Tliat Ho Wins N. Y. City;
Miller Choice Over Smith
Bets of 6 to 1 that Senator Harding
would win fie Presidential election,
found few takers yesterday. In the
Wal] Street district, where many brok?
ers hitherto have reaped a harvest in
placing election bets on a commission
basis, it was said that backers of Gev
i ernor Cox were demanding odds of 7
to 1 and even 8 to 1. Even when al?
lowed these margins, they said little
if any Cox money was in evidence.
A report that Chicago book makers
.-.-er?' placing bets favoring Harding
on a 5 to 2 basis caused amusement.
The story was generally doubted; i;
being pointed out that one Wall Street
firm had trie?! in vain for a week to
ways ,? $30,000 against $5,000 on the
S? nator.
Lively betting continued, however,
on the probability of either candidate
carrying certain states. Even terms
.vere offered and accepted quickly that
the Republican nominee would carry
New York state by 300,000. Bets of
7 to G were made that Harding would
carry New York City.
? Odds of ,'! to 1 wer,? offered that
Harding would sweep Ohio, and, 8 to
5 that his plurality there would exceed
35,000.
Betting on the gubernatorial contest
'tween Governor Smith and Judge
Nathan L. Miller held, the Republican
i . ; didate the favorite.
Generally odds of 2 to 1 prevailed,
and large .sums of money were in evi?
dence. Supporters of Governor Smith
d? ???'? uuled '?'? to 1, with few takers. One
large bet at 11 to 5 in favor of Judge
M ?Her was placed.
Considerable interest was shown, and
I ''.-.'? was even on the chaucis of
'?? Attorney Swann beinjr elected
to the Supreme Court bench. Ihis was
to be due to the fact that he had
' ? a indorsed by the United Building
l'rai i Cou :il of New York, repre
nting more than 400,000 trade union
! .
According to many close observers
past c. ions the trend of ??- t
ting is a safe .barometer of results.
Fred II. Schumm, said to be an author?
ity on the subject, explained that on
three occasions only since 1888, when
Crovor Cleveland ran against Harriso .
with the odds at 10 to 8 on the former,
had gamblers been wrong.
On of*the three occasions was the
Cl veland-Harrison campaign above :
mentioned and another the Cleveland
; : rrison ? lee! ion in 1892, w hen thi
odds wi >" in to 9 in favor of Harrison.
Mr. Cleveland, however, was elected.
The odds were at fault, also, in the
Hughes-Wilson campaign.

In an address at Elmira Mr. Roose?

"American voters everywhere," he
said, "arc heartily sick of the con

"The average voter knows thai
is a great difference of opinion among
experts as to the exact amount of the

"In view of the simple, plain Eng?
