tee. and Senator Harry S. New or
Indiana. head OF the speakers bu-
leau.
Roth visitors commented cheer
fully on tho split in the democratic
party over the democratic candi-
dates visit TO the white house and
the exact place In the Democratic
galaxy OF Issues the league OF ma
tionE is to occupy.
After that ~ determined by Gov
ernor Cox the republican campaign
will begin to hum. Thousands OF
speakers are waiting 90 take the front
hne, Senator New said. Points
Vhich they will omphasizo wera dts

Harding Dates Undecided.
Senator Harding's speaking dates
outside Marion have not been de-
,idod. just how far he will wan
,ler from the front porch will he
Uid of the questions taken up 9t a
meeting OF party leaders In Now
York ThurEdny.
Mr.. Daugherty will 10 there 10
ineet Senator Weeks and others
Ijenators johnson and Dorah will
take the stump. Mr.. New said.
Just what disposition TO make OF
Governor Coolidge had not been de-
sided. The party leaders who went
70 Northampton were much Inn
pressed, and ne may be brought In
10 the west. Some of Senator Hard
lngs advisers are urging him TO go
us far west as the Pacific coast, de-
liverlng two speeches day but he
prefers to remain nearer home.
Increased railroad rates and prac-
teal difficulties OF bringing big |
groups here at regular Intervals APP
pear 10 make II increasingly neces-
Bsry for him TO go out from Marion
more frequently than was at first
proposed.
Quarrci's Flying Start.
Mr.. Daugherty. In commenting on
the difficulty IN which Governor
Cox finds himself, said:
THE quarrel over control OF the
democratic campaign has broken
out even earlier than most people
expected. The other day George |
white, national chairman, an
rounoed In Washington that the |
league of nations issue was to be
sidetrscked and prngresaivism'
pushed to the front by the demo-
Gratis. Today read that Governor
Cox's friends declared Mr.. white
was mistaken. In short. Mr.. White
already is repudiated by his chief.
Governor Cox. and will not be per-
mitted to make any moro policy
announcements.
This Is highly Interesting TO
those who know the inside OF the |
democratic situation. Homer q. |
Cummings was the candidate of
President Wilson for chairman. and |
Ed. II, Moore was Governor Cox's |
candidate. Mr.. Moore got mad be-
cause Governor Cox made his pill
grimage to Washington. and took
himself out OF It.
Tammany Against CunimIngs.
Mr.. Cummings was too objection
able TO the Tammany crowd who |
had helped nominate Cox, and who |
assumed that II Cummings were
made chairman he would run the |
campaign practically as the vice re-
gont OF Woodrow Wilson. SO they
compromised by naming Mr.. White |
Now Governor Cox has felt com |
pellod 10 administer a rebuko To |
Chairman White for talking about
the issues. II seems that the COVER |
nor is going to do all OF that.
ITS wide open secret that Gov
ernor Cox's visit to Washington d. |
vided his party at the very beginning
OF the campaign. and that half the |
democrats who assisted In nominat-
ing him arc mad all through. Now
wo find the candidate and his cam
paign manager sharply divided as TO
the Issues. It's a fine kettle Of fish,
but as to us republicans---we should
worry"
Senator New was very optimistic
on republican prospects everywhere
and said Harding will get the In
diane electors vote. and Watson. will
be elected senator.
This In going to be a real cam
paign,' Senator New said. There
VIII be no loafing on the Job after
hf' Cox's speech OF Saturday"
