Campaign Now To Be
Centered ON Insurino
Party Majority in Senate
From a STAFF Correspoudent

MARION, Ohio, Oct. Ex-senator
Warren G. Harding leaves the front
porch again tomorrow on a fve-dav
speaking trip in the West. He de-
parts firmly convinced that his cleo
stlon is assured and believing that the
important task confronting the Re-
publican party is to strengthen the
Senate majority.
The decision of the Democratic CAM
palgn managers to center their attack
on the League Of Nations issue, aided
by President Wilson, is regarded here
as lasthope offensive. Senator Har-
Ding Will reply to President Wilson'S
white House statement on the league
IN speech he will deliver Thursday
forenoon in Des Mones, Iowa. 1t is
probable that he will make other ref
erences to it in the speeches he will
deliver in Omaha. St. Joseph, Mo, Kan
sas City, Mo, and Oklahoma CITY.
Before Senator Harding returns to
Marion, October II, Herbert Hoover
will have taken the stump in behalf of
the Senator and the Republican ticket.
The man who saved the civilian popu-
latlon of Belgium from starvation and
taught the American people to save
food during the war will make his first
campaign speccn October 9 at Indian
apolls. He has another speaking en-
gagement at Topeka, Kan, on October
la 4l.
Hoover's speeches will be PARTY Gov
ernment and the Inefficiency of the
Wilson Administration.
Taft Also to Take Stump
Former President Taft also will take
the stump within a few days.
Both Hoover and Taft are in favor of
some kind of league Just how
strongly Mr.. Hoover objects to the
Wilson league is yet to be told. In
addition to these two, who may be ex-
pected to hold the attention of all pro-
league Republicans and anti Wilson
Democrats, Senator Harding will con-
tinuc to have on the stump both Sem
ators hiram Johnson and William f.
Borah.
The candidate received to-day from
Senator Borah at New York the follow
ing friendly telegram:
I'm view of reports I wish you to
know my speeches in future will be
along same lines as at Dayton and in
the Senate. | want to see you win and
| want to see the league scheme de-
feated. In my own way | shall devote
my time to the achievement of both
propositions"
1t Is understood that all the recent
unIounded reports of Senator Borah's s
dissatisfaction with Senator HArding's
stand on the league issue were based
on some objections to the arrangements
for his speaking engagements made by
the Eastern division of the Republican
speakers bureau, plus the desire of
the Democrats to ses trouble brew in
the Republican camp.
VIII II. Hays, Republican national
chairman, visited Senator Harding to-
day, stopping over on his way from
New York to Chicago. He brought a
brief case bulging with cheering in
formation and spread it out on the
desk in the candidates study. They
wasted little time dealing with the
Presidential situation Their con-
ference was reported to have dealt
more with the Senatorial fights.
Sees Chance in North Carolina
Chairman Hays said lie fully ex-
pected the Republicans would gain
seats in Maryland, Kentucky. South
Dakota, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Ari
zona and California. AS for Cox, Mr.
Hays said he would not even concedc
him all of the solid South. North Caro-
lima is more than likely to give Sena-
tor Harding a majority, he said.
One feature of the Presidential cam
pagn with which the Senator and Mr..
Hays did concern themselves was the
assumption by President Wilson of
leadership of Governor Coxs campaign.
In a statement to newspaper men, Mr.
Hays said:
There are Castle Hills all over the
