MARION. Ohio, July TO-. Senate,
Warren G. Harding, Republican Presi
dental nominee, announced to-day that
IT elected, he would invite Calvin Cool
idge, the Vice Presidential candidate
to participate ex oticio in all Cabinet
conferences.
This first fruit Of the conference
which the Senator and the Governo,
had in Washington recently was re-
vealed in statement which said Sena
tor Harding believes the country would
profit greatly through the participation
BY the Vice-President in the Cabine,
conferences of the Administration. HI
believes that it not only would elevate
the Office of the Vice-President. but
would give to the President the soune
advice and able assistance Of his CHIEF
partner in handling the nations af
fairs.
The sort of government I have in
mind" said Senator Harding TO-DAY
ought to take advantage Of the capa.
city and experience of man like
Coolidge by bringing him into the
councils. 1t will be fine thing and
don't see why it shouldn't have been
done long ago. Coolidge is an emf.
nent American and has had experi.
ence as an executive and should be
helpful. l think the Vice President

ing the executive offices in touch with
the legislative.",
Hasn't Anything Else to Do
Then, in facetious tone, the nomi-
nee added: "In fact he hasn't anv.
thing else to do"
Although Senator Harding said he
didn't see why the Vice-President
hadn't, been taken into the Cabinet
ca4nclls before, students of Senate pro-
cedure here pointed out that as the
Senate, unlike the House of Represen-
tatives, does not elect it's PRESIDING
officer, the higher branch of the lepis.
iative arm of the government is cutie
likely to view such activities of the
Vlce-President jealousy, even with
suspicion.
- It also was pointed out that Senator
Harding, if elected, would be the first
man to go from the Senate to the
Wnlte House, and would require liai-
son officer less than any of his prede-
cessors. His cordial relations with his
Senatorial colleagues, however. are ex-
pected to have the effect of making It
possible for him to compliment Gov
ernor Coolidge by increasing the hith-
erto limited functions of the Vice
PRESIDENT without opposition.
Awaits Coolidgc's Speech
Further consideration for his run.
nlng mate was shown by Senator
Harding when he announced that he
would make no campaign utterances
alter the deliverance of his speech of
acceptance here, July %, until Gov
ernor Coolidge has made his speech Of
accertance at Northampton, July 81.
The Senator's reluctance to speak in
the interval between his and Governor
Coolidge's notification ceremonies be-
came known when the Richland
County, Ohio, Harding Coolidge Club
agreed to postpone visit to the Har-
ding front porch from July Is to July
81. This will be the first delegation
of Ohio Republicans, outside of Marion.
to greet the nominee at his home. Be-
fore the campaign ends he will have
seen and talked to many such delega-
tions.
The club will come by special trains
from Mansfield on the Erie Railroad,
and hundreds of Richland County
farmers are expected to come to Marion
by automobile. The details of arrange
ments are being worked out by the
local committee and committee of
club members. The club was repre-
sented to-day by E. P. Cappeller, pub
Usher Of "The Mansfield News; Sam
J. Colwell, Neal Fortune and Walter
Hambleton, all of Mansfield.
