Senator from California and the Sem
ator from Idaho are dissatisfied or dis
gruntled. Senator Harding thinks he
knows their feelings about the matter.
and he has been greatly pleased with
the efforts both have made In his be-
half. Also he announced to-day that
ex- President Taft and Herbert G.
Hoover were going to stump for him.
Mr.. Wickersham, whose opinions arc
similar to Mr.. Tafts. has expressed
himself as pleased with Senator Har-
dings position. Among Republican
leaders who are here or who are IN
close touch with the nominee. the opin-
ion Is that the repeated insinuations
that a Republican revolt Is imminent
spring obviously from the rancor OF
league partsans who see how the eoun-
try is swinging.

much to optimism. To Mr.. Harding the
enormous crowds that greeted him with
true spontaneity of welcome at balti-

ton. Ashland, Ironton and elsewhere
were indicative of determination OIL
the part of people eager to consummate
wholesale eviction from power OF the
Democratic party. With sincerity Sena-
