Senator Phelan in California, who, too,
is understood to have been worried
about the effect of the Cox trip on his
own chances.
He is reported to be feeling much bet
ter since Cox himself put punch into
the democratic camp. and said few
stirring words about Senator Phelan's
record. Californians who will tell you
that Phelan has a good chance OF re-
election will hardly say that Gov. Con
has as good an opportunity to carry the
states electoral vote.
Cox Is Confident.
AS a matter OF fact. Coxs whole
attitude is one OF confidence. He shows
in his speeches that he believes abso-
lutely in victory. Instead OF saying III
I am elected I will appoint secretary
of the interior from the west" he says

that he will be elected. That is one
way to stimulate democratic workers

republicans. even in the doubtful states
have worked with twice as much en-
thusiasm as they normally do, simply
because the betting and other signs In
dictate to them a republican victory.
Conversely, depression in the demo-
cratic ranks Is due to the apparent cer-

been produced by republican newspaper

a change.

headquarters and lack of funds. 1t may
have lbeen wise to make virtue out of
poverty when the senate investigation
committee began studying campaign
finances, but 1t gives many democrat
out west the impression that the dem
ocratic campaign was failure at the
very start.
Perhaps the greatest handicap on the
other hand, that the republicans suf-
fer from in this state Is apathy. Dis
satisfaction with the present admins
tration Is current but It hasn't been
enough to arouse all the voters.
The republican leaders fear they will
not be able to get out the republican
vote. The democratic apprehensons are
based upon the depopulation or certain

jority, although the majority of 5000,
which Wilson got in 1916, was over

The republicans who think Harding
will carry Nevada count upon him to
win by 500 votes. That is how close
~ they figure majorities in a small
state.
- The republican optimism is based
entirely upon the disaffection among
the democrats and the continued
murmurings which have been going
on against the Wilson administration.
The republican leaders estimate the
shift of democrats to Harding will be
considerable, but DISTINGUISHED OBJ

enough.
That Gov. Cox will get Nevada's
three electoral votes would seem to
be more reasonable expectation than
republican victory, though it must
