MARION, Ohio. Nov. 5.-Presl-
dent-elect Harding will revert TO the
round robin signed by the Repub-
lfcans of the United states senate
| In March, 1919, as the basis of for
eign policy in the new administra-
ton. .a *
This plan, which has been conf
IDENTIFY discussed during the cam
paign, will be put into effect just as
soon after Inauguration as possible.
IT has the merit of affording be-
ginning in the inevitable process of
reconciliation between the various
| factions in the senate. 't'' .-
No matter what the votes may
have been on the peace treaty and
covenant, the round robin Is the sin y
gle document that all the Republic
an senators, both irreconcilables and1
reservationists have signed. ..., .....
Senator Borah may have re-
marked during the campaign that he
was against all associations or al
liances of any kind, but his name
was signed to the round robin, the.
text of which puts him on record as
favoring. some kind of Il league uf

Moreover, it may be ii surprise to
the world outside of Marion. Ohio,
but it is an open secret here, that

not in particular high favor here and
that he will not be the minister ex-

Root sent MIR. Harding a chSlegrani

Also there is.a FEELING here that

although he has a rear yard and a

busy ones about vegetable wagon.

Immediately disappeared and soon re-
turned, accompanied by the vegetable
man. In the basket were three pounds
of potatoes, box of berries and two

whether she needed the goods or not
At any rate Marshall made his word
good with the neighbor that he had
to get "some sings" When ques-

shopping expedition he said: "Yes,
