YoAK iImALp,
MARION. Ohio, Sept, i0,---Senator
Harding was informed tonight by
THE SUN AND New YoRK HERALD that
tho Republican National Committees
New York headquarters had issued a
statement saying Senator Harding
would spend nearly all the last ive
weeks OF tho campaign In a speech
making tour OF big cities, East and
West.
"Tho National Committee knows
that I am n willing worker" said the
Senator II know the general scope
Of tho programme and II has my ap-
proval, Some OF the details have not
yet been worked out and are subject
to change, possibly expansion"
Tho announcement will cause no sur
priSo here. as It's purport was stated in
despatch from this city yesterday, The
extraordinary success OF Mr., Hardlngs
brief Minnesota tour settled once and
for all the question Of how no takes with
tho people. II opened the eyes Of Re-
publican campaign managers to the
folly OF burylng such n voto.getter,
They admitted as they departed from
81. Paul that Senator Harding was much
too good man TO be wasted In front
porch work--that he was big game
hunter, not shooter OF Sparrows
All Admit Trips success,
Another cause FOR tho change OF pro-
Eramme was the uniformity OF judgment
passed by the newspapers that had moro
or less direct, accurate means OF ap-
prnlhng Mr.. Hardlng's first contact with
people In the mass and In little groups,
hlE first. that Is, as n Presidential
nominee. The tour was pronounced sue
cessful not merely by Republican OBJ
servers, who might be supposed 10 look
through rose colored glasses. but by
neutrals and by Democratic lookcrs.on.
There was In fact, not a dissenting
opinion as to tho splendid welcome

effective response he made whenever
called upon. Tho man loomcd big once
they permitted him to take to the road
Naturally, as THE SUN AND New
York HERALD anticipated In It's news
despatch OF yesterday. the campaign
Programme has been changed 10 fit this
new and satisfactory condition. The
r,ans OF the Republican National Com
mittee embrace for the present dozen
speeches in dozen large cities, among
them New York. about october 70 Bal

Nashville, 81, Louis. Kansas City,
omaha and Oklahoma City. The plan
eontemplates n final visit TO Cleveland,
| where Harding will end the campaign.
Change in Programme Likely.
Now, the chances are that even this
expanded programme will have to be
revised. The Far West is calling with
an inslstent voice, There In an especial
urgency In tho demands from the Far
| Northwest and the Pacific coast.
Some OF the figures at the Chicago
headquarters have been contending that
! the candidate will not have time for such
an extended tour. Their attention has
neen called to the splendidly arranged
League OF Nations tour taken by Presi-
dent Wilson year ago, and which was
capable Of modification In point Of time
and even Of territory.
There are signs here that the an
nouncement of the National Committee
will be hailed with great satisfaction
! over the country, It Is interesting to
note that In Marion the prevailing opin-
ion is that the Senator should so out
among the people, so that the people
could sec the kind OF man he actually 10.
