to tramp over the links while the
story of ballots is telling itself
throughout the nation. He will be
back at home in time to hear the
earliest returns,
Virtually the only attention given
to politics by the nominee during
the day was in telephone confer
ences with viii II. Hays, republican
national chairman, and Harry M.
Daugherty, who was his pre-con-
Vention manager.
Reports Are Encouraging.
Mr.. Hays, in New York, and Mr..
Daugherty in Columbus, gave him
detailed reports of the outlook
which he described as decidedly en-
Couraging.
From Indiana, New Jersey, Hi
nois and New York. battle grounds
of more than ordinary interest
throughout the campaign, the can
didate said his information was es-
pecially gratifying. He added that
he also had received some hearten-
ing reports of senatorial races, a
feature of the election in which he
has taken particular concern.
Although he has spent much of
the last month on the stump Mr..
Harding finishes the campaign in
robust condition physically, He has
neither lost nor gained appreclably
and he presents a picture of health
and vigor. His voice, though slight
ly crippled by speechmaking and
exposure, has almost regained its
normal ring and tone.
Has Made 1871 Speeches.
In all, since his nomination. in
June, the senator has made ISL
speeches, long and short. BY 4far
the greatest number of them were
delivered from the rear platform
of his train during his travels over
sixteen states, Thirty-three We're
delivered from the front porch and
thirty-six at other places in Ohio,
He has made twenty speeches in
Indiana, twenty in Iowa, sixteen in
West Virginia, eleven in Missouri,
eight in kentucky. seven in Illinois,
six in oklahoma, five in New York,
live in Tennessee, four in Minnie
sofa, three in Kansas, three in
Pennsylvania, two in Nebraska, one
in Wisconsin and one in Maryland,
Mrs. Harding Has II Cold.
Mrs Harding, who has been at
his side during every speech and
has busted herself increasingly
about his headquarters in Marion,
has not been 50 fortunate as her
husband in escaping the i'll effects
of travel and campaign excitement.
During the last trip, which ended
Saturday night in Columbus, she
took a heavy cold and today she
remained in bed until nearly noon.
1t was said her illness was not
at all alarming and that a good rest
and protection from the raw au-
tumn weather would soon restore
her to normal health. She said to-
night that she expected to go to the
polls tomorrow with Mr.. Harding
and cast her first vote for him for
the presidency.
To Take Il Vacation.
After election day there will be
a vacation for the senator and his
wife, but detailed plans for it have
not yet been announced. Many in
VitationS have come to them from
popular southern resorts and from
points outside continental United
States, and it is taken for granted
that they will make a trip that wild
take them away from Marion and
give them at least two weeks of Sc
clusiOn and recreation.
The voting booth where the sem
80. ,.yt
their ballots tomorrow is in a small
garage about a block from their
home. The precinct has been nor
mally democratic. This year the
political signs in that particular
section are not convincing, how
ever, for the precincts registration
showed a greater number of Wom-
en- first voters than there are men.
VIII Vote, Then Play Golf.
The plan of the nominee is to
leave for the golf links of the Scioto
club near Columbus after he has
cast his ballot. He said tonight he
expected to make the trip rain or
shine. a personal friend, Judge
Henderson of Columbus, will be his
opponent.
AT his nome in the evening he
will be given the returns by the
Associated Press, whose leased wire
has been established during the
campaign at press headquarters, a
few steps away from the Harding
front porch. In the circle gathered
with the senator during the even
ing will be his father and sisters,
Mrs Harding and Mr.. Daugherty.
Local committees have made
elaborate preparations to serenade
him as the returns come in, and
to celebrate the event with a red
fire parade.
Tonight MIR. Harding retired at
his usual hour. AS has been his
custom for many years he read
himself to sleep, choosing for his
reading tonight a novel of Ameri-
can adventure.
