CHICAGO. ILL. Oct. 17.-The re-
ports Republican and Democratic
leaders bring to the Western head
quarters OF their respective parties
here tend to show that the voters
that independent ventures will attract
much less support than was expected.
That there will be defections from.
both Senate. congressional state and

MED by either. The results, how
ever. will not materially affect the
presidential contest.
In contests for the Senate and low

from rebellions against both parties
than the Republicans. or the thirty
three Senator'S to be elected. exist

tests. as against fifteen for the Re-
pubiicans.
Confident that their presidential

battles. They are making determin-

Secs ParadoIical Situation.
This paradox is presented In al
most every State where under nor
NAL conditions the Democrats would
have chance to win the electoral
voters. Republican leaders with
whom I have talked, fully confirm
the impression which prevails in
every part of the country that the
average citizen wants to vote against
the Democratic party for reasons gen.
orally illogical and will cast his bal
lot for Harding because he Is the
only agent available for doing Sc.
One OF the most astounding fea-
turea of the campaign is that even
the leaders who are aggressfvely di-
recting the battle for the Republican
presidential candidate express little
admiration for him; are willing to
concede the Democratic claim that
Governor Cox is n much more attrac-
tive candidate; that Mr.. Harding does
not appeal to the popular imagina :
tion: that in an even contest on in
dividual merit his opponent would
beat him two to one. The advantage
enjoyed by the Republican candidate
