ON TRIP
Harding Is Not Receiving Re-
publican Support
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
is NOT DEFINITE
Former Governor Believes Cox
Has an Excellent Chance To
Win Out
Wyatt A. Taylor


Columbia, Aug 17---That Senator
Harding is not receiving the solid and
enthusiastic support of Republicans
of the North is information brought to
Columbia by Former Governor r. l..
Manning, who has just returned
from trip TO New York City and
other points North of Mason and Dix
on line. The former governor went
to New York city to attend a meet
ing Of the board Of directors Of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
OF which he is a member, and while
there he met O number of prominent
Republicans. He quotes many of
them as saying that they feel they
will not be able to support Senator
Harding but will have to vote for
Governor Cox.
The trouble with Harding. Govern
or Manning says. is that he is not
positive and definite in his program
OF policies His stand on world con-
ditions and also on the matter Of tax
alton does not appeal to the members
of his party. Governor Manning
talked with number of Republicans
who are supporters Of the league of
Nations, as well as many who are
he says, do not agree with Senator
Harding's position. They take the po-
sition that even though the League
of Nations is not a perfect document
they look on 1t as the best means yet
devised for deferring and minimizing
war. The Republicans who oppose the
League have not found i'm Senator
Harding's platform any alternative
for the league of Nations.
At the same time Senator Harding
Republicans told Governor Manning
does not have any definite and con-
structive ideas on the subject of tax.
alton. Prominent members of the
Republica 4 party told the the former
chief executive of South Carolina that
30 as the next presidential admins
tration and the welfare of the nation
is concerned, they look on Harding
almost as an impossibility.
On the other hand Governor Cox is
recognized throughout the North as
q splendid campaigner and vote-get-
ter. His positive and forceful way OF
outlining his campaign and his pro-
posed policies is meeting with univer-
sal approval, Governor Manning says
Persons who know Gov, Cox person
ally, and Governor Manning Is in
cluded i'm this list, say that he Is one
of the best politicians. sofar as CAM
paigning goes, in the country He
makes friends at every turn. Cover.
nor Manning was In Ohio on his re-
cent trip North and there he found
friends of the governor everywhere
In Cincinnati he met Irwin Cobb's
brother. a newspaper writer. who told
! him that Cox is popular with every
class OF people. The newsboys the
man on the street and the business
people all call him Jimmie. and he
is strong in Ohio because Ohioans like
him. He Is making friends through
out the nation,' Mr.. Manning says. just
rs he has made them In Ohio In his
three terms as governor.
