II IL known that many Of Hardinr's
Iriends have urged him TO follow

1895 and make his campaign from
the porch of his home in Marion.
senator Harry New, of Indiana. is
one who is in favor of this. Other
lntlmates nave suggested the same
thing. This would only differ from
the Mckinley campaign in that
SeWto Harding would be expected
to deliver ten or twelve speeches
outside of his home on stated occa-
sions. The rest would be confined
TO pilgrimages Of the faithful to the
Senator's home town.

Harding's Economic Remedy.
Another topic Of conversation in
the almost deserted hotel Hobbies
centers in Hardipg's campaign is
sues. He will, of course. stand
squarely on the platform. but Amer
icanism and the solving of press
ing domestic economic problems will
be the principal subjects. II is no
secret that Senator Harding con-
siders increased production as the
key TO the solution.
Practically every candidate fol-
lowed Harding out of the city. SEN
atcr and Mrs. Johnson left for
Washington tonight. AS for the
rank and file natives and visitorS,
these arc interviewing each otncr
anil have agreed OF one thing to
the effect that Gov. Cox, of Ohio.
will be on the Democratic ticket
to be nominated at san FrancisC'.
The argument is advanced that
as. Cox carried the Buckeye State
twice he might do it again This
argument is followed by the con-
lecture that with Ohio lost 10 Hard
ing nomination would not be
equivalent TO an election.
La Toilette Men Ritter.
Cross currents in the convention
also sadly muddled affairs in lIli-
nois, and conditions in Wisconsin
are disquieting. The La Toilette
following were the real bitter-end-
ers. and the Badger delegates told
the world before they left for home
that they did not approve the choice
of Harding and Coolidge. Mayor
Thompson's faithful seventeen -
actually eighteen and a half at the
wind -up-also gave no indication
that they seconded the nominal ton
Of Harding. which is sure to cause
complication in the election next
fall. unless Boss Lundin should or
der his cohorts into line.
While the Republican delegates
were trying to get out of town
Democratic hosts began to filter in
on their way to San Francisco.
Norman Mack was one of them.
Several carloads of delegates went
West tonight. while a special train
of newspaper correspondents left at
