Notifications.

Marion Ohio, Sept. 5-A markedly
divergent view from the general Re-
publican attitude toward the league
of nations was expressed by former
Attorney General George W. Wick
ersham, who called on Senator
Harding today.
In a lengthy statement following
his interview with the candidate,
Wickersham announced himself as
definitely in favor of the league,
with such notifications as would
remove the objections of the Ameri-
can government.
Senator Harding spent most Of the
forenoon conversinG with the for
MGR Attorney General, later receiv-
ing visit from the well-known ar
tist, Howard Chandler Christy and
Mrs. Christy. Senator Harding posed
for a sketch which is to be used for
campaign purposes.
The schedule for Senator Hard
ing's trip to the Minnesota State
Fair where he will speak on
Wednesday, was completed today. 1t
is the first real departure from the
front porch campaign.
An interesting discussion on the
Fiume question and OF Republican

Harding and Oscar Durante, editor
of the Chicago Italian daily,
