FROM o Stag Correspondent

1 Warren G. Harding has begun WORKING
1 N an address in which for the first time
hase his speech of acceptance he will
1 tssl at length with the Republican
srty's attitude toward the League of
I Nations. The speech will be delivered
wxt Saturday to delegation coming
the front porch from Indiana.
The nominee in his talk to this
u,hering, composed principally of
Members. OF the indianapolis Harding
Club and headed by E. J. Jacoby, will
express kis views on the kind of an
association of nations in which he
wculd have America participate and
probably will deal extensively with the
nations foreign problems.
An idea of the Importance with
zhich this speech is regarded around
Harding headquarters may be gathered
from the unusual precautions BEING
aiken to- keep 1t from being answered
in advance by Governor Cox. No ad-
vance copies to facilitate publication
/ will be sent out to newspapers. Three
visitors arrived to-day who were in a
1 position to assist Senator Harding in
his task of setting forth the Republic
ssn partys attitude toward the league.
Colonel Harvey to Assist Senator
One Of these was Francis B. LOOMS
an Assistant Secretary of State under
President Roosevelt and man we'll
! informed regarding the views of Elihu
Root, former Secretary of State, on the
.uctlons OF an international court of
Justice. Another was Colonel George
Harvey. He came TO remain with the
aardngs over the week end.
This afternoon Senator Harding
motored TO the Scioto Country Club
at Columbus. Colonel Harvey went
With him to discuss the Forthcoming
l speech. The Senator planned to play
golf. providing it was not raining

The third visitor was Judge Rex
GoodceIl, of San Bernardino, Calf,
one Of Senator Hiram Johnson's pre-
convention managers. He is a member
Of Californias Superior Court and a
past grand president of the Fraternal
Order OF Eagles. He said lie was
going directly from Marion to San
francisco to keep an appointment with
/ Senator Johnson.
1t has already been announced that
Senator Johnson will be actively in
the campaign and that means every-
hing that it might imply" Judge
GoOdcel said
He is for Harding and the Re-
nuoHcan ticket all the way through.
Ny information is that he will be found
working in the states where there is
most need for his assistance-that is,
wherever the national committee wants

Johnson Behind Harding
The entire Johnson organization is
now as definitely behind Harding as it
vas behind Johnson before the con-
4 gention. II is 100 per cent solid for
4 me ticket. Our estimate, based on the
agures from the recent registration in
@ilfornia, places the Republican ma
lonty there at 100000; and l may add
mat this figure was confirmed by the
most influential California Democrat
have talked with
Oregon and Washington will line
] up just as solidly as California. Bas-
lng my Judgment on what learned in
Z me pre-convention Campaign and de-
'eiopments since, the mountain states
4 VII! all go for Harding with possibly
one exception. The Democrats in our
part Of the world know it is useless
ior them TO make efforts in the noun
tsln and Pacific states. They concede
mem to the Republicans"

busy and interesting period for the
