North Dakota for G. o. y.
North Dakota, where the Non-Parti-
san League controls the Republican
party, will surely go for Harding.
South Dakota went for Hughes four
years ago and will give Harding be-
tween $4,000 and 10000, present esti-
mates are.
Nebraska is safely head,d for the Re-
publican column, but estimates on the
plurality vary widely. Experts esti-
mate it all the way from 10000 to
$4,000. Anyone can write his own fig

Minnesota is going for Harding big.
His plurality will be 100, 900 at least,
1t would seem, and might reach more
than 10000.
Senator Cummins has hard fight
for reelection in Iowa. but there is no
doubt the electoral vote there will be
Harding's by between 125Oo0 and $50, 900

struggle for the Senatorship Is on be-
tween Senator Lenroot and James
Thompson, the La Toilette candidate.
But Harding IS perfectly safe OF get

In spite OF the friction between the
Thompson and La Toilette factions in the
Republican party. both are working for
the national ticket, which. indications
are, should get well over 10000
plurality.
There is stiff fight on In Indiana
