PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Ex-senator
boies Penrose expects to take the
stump in the Presidential campaign.
This was learned to-day, when he made
plans for conference with Thomas w.
Miller, chairman of the speakers bu-
reau of the Republican National Com
mittee for the Eastern division.
BY reason of his intense interest in
the success of Senator Harding and his
comprehensive knowledge of taxation
and the suffering caused by the pres
ent high cost of living, the senior Sen
ator is being urged to make a number
of brief addresses on this subject.
While the Senator gave no personal
assurance that he would consider a
swing around the circle, it is under
stood he is anxious, if his present i'm
provement in health continues, to go
before the people and reveal to what
extent they are being burdened by
over-taxation
Mr.. Miller is expected in Philadelphia
w 7HAOAAON III iO0iCiOH W emphasizing
the Importance of having Senator
Harding and Governor Coolidge visit
this city and other important centers
throughout the state, Senator Penrose
will discuss with his visitor the ques-
tlon of his own appearance upon the
stump.
Wants Harding in Big Cities
Senator Penrose is gradually round
ing back into oldtime form and. with
sured, is evincing signs of a lively
interest in the campaign. Having ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be
advisable for Senator Harding to for
sake the front porch long enough to
visit the big cities of the country, the
Pennsylvania leader is now expected
to furnish an object lesson by going
upon the hustings himself.
Since recovery from his illness, Sena-
tor Penrose has been in touch with
Republican leaders from every section
of Pennsylvania. He knows the weak
spots in the state and is taking every
leave nothing to chance. Communi-
cations as we'll as personal appeals
have come to his Office requesting him
to use his influence to have the Re-
publican standard bearer, or at least
his running mate, appear before the
people.
A particularly insistent request was
received from Warren, Pa, which will
shortly stage monster celebration
At least 10000 persons are expected
and state leaders think it would be ar
excellent opportunity for Senator Hard
ing or Governor Coolidge to address
this gathering. Republicans in Erie
County, where A. E. Sisson has hare
fight for the state Senate, have askee
Senator Pnrose to use his influence Il
have either Harding or Coolidge pay
visit.
Coolidge Held Down by Duties
Senator Penrose has been informe &c
by members of the national committee
that Governor Coolidge at present is
so busily engaged with legislative mat
ters and his gubernatorial duties that
1T will be impossible for him to leave
the Bay State for some time He has
promised, however, that when the cam.
paign warns up, he will consider the
ACCESSIBILITY Of making a number OF
speeches at points to be designated BY
the committee.
Will II. Hays, chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, has ar
appointment to meet Senator Penrose
Thursday afternoon. At this meeting
the Senator is expected to make known
his opposition to the front porch
policies of Senator Harding and urge
that the candidate get out before the
people.
