Columbus, Ohio. Oct 12.-Warren G.
Harding has made as strong cam
paign as any candidate could make
under all of the circumstances. The
Republican committee is substantially
without funds. Most of the work ia
being done by volunteers who believe
IN Harding and are willing to make
sacrifices to show the faith that is In
them.
| Strong language is being employed
and If assertion goes to prove any
thing the Republican spellbinders are
making progress. At meeting of the
joint central and executive commit
tees the most roseate reports were
made. 1t was asserted that Cox had
promised at least 5000 majority for
Harding in Hamilton county, and that
other sections of the state were in
good shape, except Cleveland. 1t was
frankly admitted that things were
very much in Harmon's favor in
Cleveland and its environments. The
information was brought to Columbus
by the committeeman and the candi-
date was frankly told what the situa-
tion was. His campaign has been SO
arranged that he will spend the last
week Of the campaign in that city in
an effort to stave off too serious q
slump from the Republican vote

other independent, are openly. sup.

Denied by Democrats.
The roseate report from Hamilton
county was met with some derision at
Democratic headquarters. Here II
was claimed that Cox was simply try.

Gratis of Cincinnati, SO It would be
easier to deal htle later for the sal
walton of his county ticket, which, as
usual, Is Cox's chief concern. The
Cincinnati boss does not aspire to
state leadership, >, He has seen too
many men stub their toes in this way.
Remaining in power at home begets
state influence In party councils, with
out undertaking the hazards incident
to Republican state leadership. Cox
has seen the state leaders come and
go, chiefly go. In the past few years,

of division. The Democrats here in

and that Cox's home ticket Is threat

However, the Republicans have
made some gains. They were far be-
hind when they started and freely ad-
mitted 1t. They knew it would be an
uphill fight. 1t took two weeks of
campaigning before anything like an
impression was made. Then the can

Burton Snubs Cox.
Senator Theodore Burton is giving
George B, Cox the silence treatment.
He has not deigned to reply to the
Cox interview in which some of the
inner workings of the late Republican
state convention were laid bare. The
senator was. in Cleveland a few hours
this week but paid no attention to in
Quiries as to when he was going to
begin operation of separating Cox
from the map Of Ohio. He went over
to Meadville, Pa, and made tariff
speech. The committee in Cleveland
is not billing him extensively. 1t is
said Mr.. Burton has concluded to wait
till the campaign is over before start
ing in on Cox. Nobody will stop to
interest himself in it then; so 1t won't
matter.
Senator Dick is also silent as to the
challenge of John ]. Lentz to debate.
1t Is said he is considering accepting
the challenge and then sending Cen
eral Critchfield as substitute, thus
resolving the incident to a mere
question of avoirdupois.
Just to show that the managers of
the Republican campaign are not
kow-towing to insurgency, Joseph
Benson Foraker. has been called to

Archbold letters. In spite of Mr.. For
aker's explanation of the letters, he
was beaten for senator and Theodore
Burton was elected.
Voters Sorry Now.
1t Is not Overstating the fact to say
that four-flfths of the members of the
Legislature who voted for Burton are
now sorry they didn't vote for For
aker or someone else, and this has
led to the conclusion that the Fora
ker entry in the list of speakers in
the Harding campaign is not without
design as to- the future.
Foraker would like to go back to
the United States senate. or course
he has all the honor out Of public
life It is possible to get, but he would
accept Dicks seat as . vindication.
