G. o. P. Nominee Will Offer No
New Issues in Closing
Speeches.

MARION, Ohio. Oct. 26.--With cleo
tion day but one week distant. the
Republican campaign, in so far as II
affects Senator Warren q. Harding
personally, is at an end.
While the Senator will make a final
swing through Ohio, delivering four
carefully prepared addresses, IL was
apparent today that no new issues
would be injected into the Presidential
tight by the Republican candidate,
and that his remaining speeches
would be devoted mainly to re-
statement and clarification of his po'
sition on vital issues which confront
the nation.
The spirit pervading Senator Hard
ing's headquarters indicates that
leading Republicans believe that the
Presidency is as good as won, that
all Senator Harding has to do from
now on is to hold fast to the posi-
tion already gained, and that nothing
said or done by either of the chict
Presidential aspirants in the closing
days of the campaign can change
many votes or the main result. And
the Republicans here are not tht
least nervous as to the result.
For these reasons. political OBJ
servers here point out, there will be
no Republican oratorial fireworks
and no sensation n-creating gestures
during the. closing days OF the cam
paign. so far as Senator Harding Is
concerned.
Senator Harding was to spend to-
day, as yesterday. in putting the final
touches on the four Ohio addresses
the first of which will be delivered
tomorrow night at Cleveland. and in
clearing up accumulated work at his
