MARION, Ohio. Sept 22.-There

the speech which the California
Senator made yesterday before the
Republican State convention at Sac
ramento, reading parts OF II aloud to
newspaper correspondents here.
RECEIVED WITH INTEREST.
II was Senator Johnson's frst i'm
portant public utterance since the
Chicago convention. and IL was re-
ceived with great interest in Marion.
While Senator Harding did not
comment on the speech for publication
he was obviously pleased with Its
tenor and with the stamp OF ap-
proval which Senator Johnson placed
upon his candidacy in general. and
his League OF Nations position In par
ticular.
Since IL has been definitely decided
that the Republican candidate is not
to invade the Far West during the
campaign, the party leaders haye been
watching the California situation
closely. Particularly have they kept
sssAis-Av~s.ss~unlso West since Governor
Cox went into the State and made an
active bid for progressive favor. Il
HIRAM TO TRAIL cox.
In view OF the johnson speech at
Sacramento, the Republican campaign
directors are perfectly willing TO
leave Governor Cox to Senator John
son In California. IL was said at Hard
ing headquarters today. II Is ex-
pected here that Senator johnson will
soon take up Governor Cox's trail
through the state and answer some OF
the arguments the Ohio Governor has
been putting up.
Today was a free for Senator Hard
ing-his last for week. he ex-
pected to work on speeches during
the forenoon and probably play golf
in the afternoon.
The next six days will be arduous
ones for the candidate. On Thursday,
Friday and Saturday OF this week he
will receive large front porch delegs-
tions, and on Sunday he starts his
first speaking swing of the campaign,
addressing audiences in Baltimore on
Monday, wheeling on Tuesday, and
