of THE New YORK HERALD last night
in St Louis that their inside figures
show that Harding will carry the State
by $4,000. and that Spencer for Senator,
will run about $4,000 behind Harding.
If Senator Spencer does no worse than
this, he should be reelected. but 1t looks
now like close fight between him ana
Breckenridge Long.
There is little doubt that Senator
Harding helped his candidacy by going
into Missouri. There is no dubt that
his appearance and his Qualification of his
League OF Nations attitude has kept in

in the State. Among others present
were DIR. Emmett Kane and Judge
O'Neill Ryan. The assemblage was
made up of men who have been the
backbone of the Democratic party in
: Missouri. AT the end of the meeting
the proposition to support Harding and
the Republican ticket was put squarely
up to the crowd. They voted 1892 TO

Senator Spencer Is not so happily sit

Democratic ranks that Cox is a certain
