Presidential campaign, many Of
them stating their belief that Sen
ator Warren G. Harding, the Repub-
lican nominee, would be elected.
THINKS U. 8. SUSPICIOUS.
The Daily News undertook to ex-
plain what II called "the swing Of
the pendulum" by saying that the
American people were evidently sus-
picious Of Americas European con-
nections and opposed "President Will
sons personal government" This
newspaper added:
Despite what has been said in the
Republican campaign there is no rea.
will attempt the maintenance Of aus
.tere isolation in world affairs"
The Daily News expressed the view
that the length Of time America
may remain out" depends upsn the
composition Of Senator Harding's
cabinet, II he is elected. This news
paper suggested among tho possible
Cabinet members under Senator
Harding the following:
Elihu Root. former President Taft,
Herbert Hoover. Senator Borah and
Senator johnson.
CHRONICLE SEES SPLITS.
The Chronicle says that the Access
sion Of the Republicans to power at
the time Of social ferment may not
have quite the result that the lead
ers anticipate. The Chronicle says
1t would not be surprised to see in
ternal dissensions and splits follow.
'"rhe salvation would be construc-
tive statesmen, but there appear to
be mono in sight" added tho Chron-
icle.
Senator Harding's final campaign
statement in Marion on Saturday,
when he stated that America would
enter an association of powers. but
not the Paris league Of nations as
sponsored by President Wilson, was
not received until 3 o'clock this
morning. Consequently there was no
comment upon It In the morning
newspapers.

The Observer says editorially:
The election in the United States
will clear away q mass OF negative
debris which has prevented American
opinion from addressing itself freely
and seriously to the world problem.
Whoever wins, there Is every reason
to believe he will cause International
cooperation as soon as the election Is
over. We do not fear that America
will wash her hands OF the other half
Of the world"
The Times comments as follows:
america Tuesday decides tho pol
icy OF her relations with the rest OF
the world. especially Great Britain
It would seem that undue stress has
been laid upon policies and sympa-
thies antagonistic to Britain, but
these tendencies are common in every
American election. They are both
temporary and transient"
