This statement is said to have been
made by Lenine to H. G. Wells, the
noted British author.
The inference which Secretary Col

report was that Senator Harding was
dickering with the soviet officials
with a view to extending recognition
to the Lenine- Trotsky government In

In Nebraska the democratic or

In Iowa, Harding ana Coolidge
willwin by well over 100000. Senator
Cummins will pull thru, but he will
run considerably behind the national
ticket.
In Wisconsin the certainty of an
enormous majority for Harding has
taken the life out Of the national
campaign. The governorship is in
dou't.
In Illinois the Harding and Cool
idge majority is problematical. It
may be around 250000. / expect to
see Mr.. SMALL win over Colonel

Indiana is expected to 60 for
Harding by $4,000 or 10000.
In Michigan Harding is safe and
sure by majority of more than
100, 900.
In st. Louis an enormous repub-
lican majority will be piled up. The
state, as whole, will go republican
by more than 10000.
North and South Dakota will show
a vote about 3 to in favor Of Hard
ing and Coolidge. The majorities will
not be enormous, but they will be
sure.
The national Gomocratic ticket has
