HARDING LAUNCHES
PIAZZA CAMPAIGN
BY A. o. HAYWARD.

MARION. Ohio, July 6.-Sehator
Warren G. Harding. Republican candi-
date. has begun his front porch cam
paign for election as President.
About 1000 of his friends and
neighbors heard him condemn last
might the superman in government
and make an appeal for the rcstora-
ton of a party government under
the leadership of normal man.
This is to be a party fight, not
a campaign of personalities, he de-
Clared.
The Senator sated that he lii not
desire visiting delegations unde his
campaign plans until next month. but
the Senator started it with his
speech late yesterday and the cam
paign is likely to get under way
before he expects it.
Harry NJ Daugherty, of Ohio. per
sonal friend of the Senator. and one
Of the national campaign commute"
Of twenty-one, appointed at meet
ing of the advisory committee of the
national committee with Senator
Harding in Washington some time
ago, discussed campaign plans with
Senator Harding until late hour last
night.
Senator Harding denied that there
had been established super cam.
paign committee consisting of John
w Weeks. Mass. A. T. Hert, Ken
lucky; Charles ID. Hilles, New York,
and Daugherty. 1t has been. report
ed that this small committee had
been selected to have supreme control
of campaign managers
"Such a committee was suggested
sail the Senator. at was thought the
committee Of twenty-onc might be diff
fcult to get together to meet emerg-
encies and a small committee was de-
sirable. have not heard hat il had
been named, but ! am certain that
National Chairman Hays will be on
the small committee. There Is no
division, no conflict in the manage
ment of the campaign" the senator
insisted. He stated also that the
campaign would be directed from
Marion.

GOV. COX BEAT HARDING,
BUT IT WASN'T WARREN G.

When Democratic campaign man
ayers heard their rivals boast today
that "Cox will be the easiest Demo-
crat in November" they simply smiled
knowingly and pointed to the Con-
gressonal elections in Ohio for 1908.
The results at the polls when these
two great Ohio named were pitted
against each other show this way:
Cox 81, 524; Harding. 10000. s,
This discovery today somewhat took
the wind out of the Republican sails.
Democrats regarded it as the "hand-
writing on the wall" that foretells
another Cox victory over Harding.
There's a niger in thes wood pile
somewhere" said on of the Harding
managers with: much perplexed
scratching of his head.
Then some political wise-acre
thought to call up the Senate librar-
ian to confirm the disastrous pre-
diction of blasted Republican hopes.
There it was in black and white
in the roll-call of the siXty-frst Con
Eress. But it happens to be another
Harding-not Warren c."
James NJ. Cox landed in the sixty
first Congress on a Democratic land

halls from EXcello, not from Marion.
Republican managers pulled a long
breath of relief and dug once mere
into campaign plans for November.
