beyond the republican platform on
labor issues, and to put their own in
depreciation on what the platform
says in that regard.
He said Harding would have two
detectives in the campaign. %reiuvena-
ton Of the party and a return to con-
stitutional forms of government
through party control.
1T is a program on which we who
call ourselves liberals can unite,".

former Roosevelt supporter, likewise
visited the candidate, declaring af-
terward that the ticket is n of the
strongest eve named.
There is no exception anywhere
and no division of party" Senator
Kellogg said. The republican party
is 100 per cent. back of Harding and
Coolidge n they will be triumph
antly elected. I find that instead Of
hysterical enthusiasm for the ticket,
there is rather a genuine confidence
and satisfaction"
