G.. o. p SEES VICTORY
DESPITE FOES CLAIMS
Broad Neus of Leaders of Both Big Parties
Told By Correspondent at Headquarters.

the republican ticket this fall Tor
divers and sundry reasons.
Even the democrats have had to ad-
nit the existence of that apparent de-
termination by majority of the voters
in the states which will deterns;ne the
presidential contest. and have found
palliation of their despair only in the
hope that something will occur to
change the conditions" The point
the republicans make is that the oc-
currence will have to be of such mag
nitude as to approach a political cata-
clysm-and they don't read anything
of that kind in the cards.
See Victory in states.
The forecasts of republican plu-
ralities in such states as Ohio. In
diana. Illinois. Iowa. Michigan, New
york. Wisconsin and the New Eng
land states have named such enor-
nous figures that the republicans say
they can view without alarm diminu-
ton of them. For instance. the re-
publicans have counted on 100000 in
Ohio, on 100000 in Illinois, 1900 in
Wisconsin. $4,000 in Indiana, and from
100000 up in New York, with stag
gering pluralities in New England,
Michigan and Iowa.
What matters it, they argue, if the
present drift to the democrats re-
duces these figures by percentage?
The republicans do not admit that
there is anything in sight which war
rants belief that they can be wiped
out and turned into democratic plu-
ralities.
But the republicans do realize the
danger that a slump of proportions in
some states. together with local con-
ditions. might endanger their candi-
dates for the United States Senate
This is an actual menace to republi
can prospects. and the only one which
the leaders acknowledge to be pre-
sented by the situation as it now
stands. In some states where the
republican senatorial contest is in
very precarious condition. the big
Harding plurality is depended upon
to pull the republican candidate
through.
The foregoing is a fair and dispas-
sionate presentation of the presiden-
tial situation today, appraised from
this center Of managerial activity of
both parties.

Harding Sends Answer
to President Wilson

By the Associa ted Press.


MARION, Ohio, October 19-Reply-
ing to an inquiry from President Will

House last night that although
France had sent her "spok esmen" to
MIN informally, asking America to
lec i the way for an association of ma
tions. the Incident had not involved
the French government in any viola
ton OF international proprieties.

reference to the subject in a speech at
Greencastle. Ind, recently he only
had sought to convey the thought that
there had come to him those who
spoke sentiment which they repre-
senteo TO be very manifest among the
French people" He added that his
words could not be construed to saw
that the French government has sent
anybody to me-"
Resents Inference.
Referring to Mr. Wilson's sueees-
ton OF improperly in foreign ma
t1on approaching private citizen
on such subject, Senator Harding
pointed out that he is a member of the
foreign relations committee, as well
as nominee for the presidency, and
suggested that IAN informal express
sion to me is rather more than that
to private citizen"

NEW YORK. October 1s.-The broad
visualized by the rival political ma
tional organizations at this stage OF
the campaign might be depicted thus:
BY the democrats elation over evil

nominee have embarrassed the repub-
licans; supposed friction WITHIN the
republican ranks over the league Oh
nations: increased contributors 10

ed as indicative of awakened interest
in the league of nations, and gratln-
cation over the aggressive and spirit
ed campaign being made by Gov. COX
in the east.
Yet not desirous of deluding them
selves. the leaders realize that all
these elements tending to victory
would have to increase in enormous
fold before the momentum of the re-
publicans can be checked and re-
versed
The question perturbing the demo-
cratic leaders is. will the few days
vet intervening before election day
suffice to enable this increase to ma
