HARDING TO STATE
TREATY ATTITUDE
Plans to Elaborate on Views on
Foreign Policy in Speeches
Soon to be Made.

Marion, Ohio, Aug. 1S.-At the end
of an all day conference Of party man
ayers, which sought to coordinate up TO
the first of October all Of Senator Hard
ings speaking subjects and dates botn
from the front porch and away from
Ma ion, three definite engagements were
announced late yesterday afternoon
Senator Harding will elaborate upon
his foreign policies, as outlined in his
speech of acceptance, to the Harding
and Coolidge Club of Indianapolis, which
will make pilgrimage TO front porch on
August 2S. An outline of the speech al
ready has been drafted, and the Senator
has expressed determination TO go into
the matter of peace by declaration and
NEGOTIATION of new treaty SO thor
oughly that no doubts can be raised as
TO where he stands.
One result of the conference was to
hasten the candidate to clarity the treaty
issue. Senator Harding presumably had
announced he would discuss foreign affairs
at the Minnesota State Fair in Minneap-
oils on September g. but now, under the
new program, this subject has been adj
vanced ten DAYS. and the Senator's speech
of August 2S will rank as his most import
ant address of the month.
Tbs two other dates were merely con-
firmations OF Senator Harding's announce
ment that he would deliver n Labor Day
Speech in Marion and talk TO the Min
nesots farmers on September 3. II is
believed that the conference struck several
snags during the day, for it broke up with
the program only partially completed.
Philadelphia, Aug. 1s-Plans for an
fnr a. -. IF
solid Republican delegation from Pennsyl-
wanna to the House Of Representatives, were
discussed TODAY by Senator Pcnrose and
ex-Reprcsentativc Thomas W. Miller,
head of the Speakers Bureau of the Re-
publican National Committee, who came
here from massachusetts TO see the
Senator.
The campaign in Pennsylvania took
Precedence IN the discussion. II is un-
derstood. however, that the Senator and
Mr. Miller excha nged views as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of Senator Harding's leav-
ing his front porch and going before the
country.
Ii may be said with some degree of
certainty that Mr.. Harding will con-
tinue to address delegations at Marion
until pretty late in the campaign, when
he will make a whirlwind tour of the
largest cities in the country Meanwhile
it is planned TO have Republican speak
ers follow in the wake Of the Democratic
nominee in the East when Governor Cox
swings into this section Late in the
campaign Mr. Harding will speak here
Mr.. Miller said that the Republican
leaders felt confident of being able to
return Republican members of the House
from Pennsylvania in the Eleventh.
Twenty-second and Twenty-siNh Dis
tricts. Republican speakers will be sent
into these districts and intensive cam
paigns will be waged there.
Mr.. Miller said that because of his
pressing official duties it would be inn
possible for Governor Coolidge to leave
for some time TO deliver
speeches. He said the gov
ernor was showing himself to be not
only an able speaker, but statesman
OF the highest qualifications and one
able TO arouse enthusiasm for the Re-
publican ticket and the things which
the candidates on that ticket represented.
