HARDING TO LEAVE =.
SATURDAY ON TRIP
President-EIect Is Cleaning Up
Desk Prior to Departure
for Holiday
TO SPEND WINTER IN SOUTH
by the Associated Press

Marion, o., Nov. 4.-With only two
days remaining before he leaves Marion
for a months vacation trip, President e
elect Harding went to work today clear
Ing up his desk of the final leftover de-
tails of his campaign.
With Mrs. Harding he will start at
80 Saturday morning for Point Isa-
bel, Tex, where he will spend twelve
days hunting and fishing prior to an
ocean voyage to the Panama canal zone.
He plans TO be back in Marion Decem
Der o. and after that may 60 to some
gulf coast resort for winter to be
spent in choosing his cabinet and for
mulating the policies of his admin
istration.
Except for an engagement made sew Z.
eral months ago to speak on December
3 In Bedford, Va. at an Elks' memor-
ial service, Mr.. Harding has no ap-
pointments for public speeches between
now and Inauguration. He may make
short talks from his train along the
way south, however, and may also de-
liver one or two addresses on particu
lar subjects before March 4.
Tonight Marion is to celebrate for
mally his election TO the presidency,
and several hundred people from other
cities are expected to join in the occa =
sion. There will be all the noise and
red fire that his loyal neighbors and
friends can produce. and many special
features to give the Harding front porch
and lawn one final baptism of campaign
glory.

tary affairs committee Of the Senate in
stead of the naval affairs committee.
which he preferred.
His knowledge of banking was Of
great value in drafting the Federal Re-
serve law. He would bring to the
treasury more cxpertness than any re-
cent secretary. He is man like Hard
ing, cautious and inclined to compro-
mise. In the cabinet he would be link
between the administration and the
larger business interests of the country.
Beyond these four names, it is all
guessing and even these four are only
highly probable guesses. Frank A.
Nanderlip, Of New York. is mentioned
for secretary of the treasury. But with
Root in the state portfolio, it is not
likely any other New York man will
be placed in the cabinet.
There is talk of General Wood for
secretary of war and it Is usual for a
President to appoint to his cabinet one
Or more Of his leading rivals for the
nomination. Governor Lowden, his
other chief contender. is not commonly
mentioned for any position. but really
seems better fitted for appointment than
Wood.
The difficulty with Wood is that too
much controversy has revolved about
his name. He has too many enemies
in tie army. The fear is felt that as
secretary of war he would have too many
old scores to pay of.
Hays Likely 10 Refuse
1t is reported that the office of post
master general will be offered to VIII
II. Hays, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, but refused by
him. In that case it may be rendered
to John T. Adams. of Iowa, vice chair
man of the committee.
Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota. is
said to bc ambitious for u diplomatic
appointment. preferably the ambaS-
Sadurship to Great Britain. He also is
cabinet possibility. being warm per
Sonal friend and golf. partner of Mr..
Harding. For secretary of labor. Ray
mond Robins, OK Chicago, is mentioned.
Robins is n Progressive and it is
likely that some member of that faction
will be in the cabinet. He is antago-
nistic to Samuel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation of Labor, but
Gompers' opposition to Harding makes
him person who is not TO be especially
considered. Congressman Nolan, Of
California, il also u possibility for this
post.
1t is unlikely that Daugherty. who
has long been Harding's closest political
adviser, and who more than any one
else elected him, will enter the cabinet.
He is likely to exercise great influence
with the administration from outside.
For the important place of secretary
TO the President four names are com
monty mentioned: George Christian,
Harding's secretary while in the Sen
ate Judson Welivcr, a newspaper cor =
respondent, who has handled publicity
at Marion Fred Starek, former repre-
sentative of an Ohio newspaper at
Washington. and Richard Washburn
Child. former editor of Golfers Weekly
who has been aiding Harding at Marion
in writing speeches.

Memphis. Tenn, Nov. 4.-lBy A..
P.b-On the face of returns compiled
by newspapers from virtually the en-
tire state. Senator Harding early today
had a lead OF approximately 10000
votes over Governor Cox and seemed
assured Of Tennessee's twelve electoral
votes.
Figures tabulsted by the Memphis

of the precincts. ninety three of the
ninety five counties IN the state, gave

Returns from ninety three counties

and Taylor a plurality of 39,477.
The result Of the congressional races
in two Tennessee districts-the Third
and Eighth-was still in doubt early
today.
Complete returns from eight counties
in the third district gave Brown, Re
publican, 2275 majority over John A.
Moon, Democratic incumbent. Re-
publicans estimated that missing coun .
ties would increase Browns lead by
at least 900 votes.
In the Eighth district Lon A. Scott,

Democrat, were running neck and neck

Most Important Task Confronting Senator Harding Is the
Restoration of Stable Peace Both ut Home and abroad

American can feel happy over our
present position. Two years ago we
held the proudest place that any na-
tiOn had ever reached. Today no one
thinks Of us in such exalted terms,
How long it will be before we again
may be held in great esteem by our
fellow men depends upon our future
course. We may retrieve quickly or
Ne may never hold again the position
we have lost
No one will deny that we had reach q
cd the commanding position in the world
and without going into the causes OF
our fall the challenge Is clearly up 70
the incoming executive TO give us back,
il possiblc, what We have lost.
The eyes Of the world will be upon
him. They will at FIRST be kindly eyes,
although perhaps mildly distrustfu!,
The world wants % think Of US as
they thought OF US two years ago, They
would like 70 believe again, rs they
did then, that We were a race Of super
men without greed, without selhshness,
or those mean qualities which SO often
go with so-called success. Two years
ago the United States was considered
the Moses Of Nations destined TO lead
the others out of the wilderness into
70 us to furnish the moral force to help
lift the crushing burden Of armaments
"a burden which has become so great
as 20 threaten 10 break the back OF
civilization itself,
Econ omists tell us that nearly 30 per
cent of the taxes levied by the great
powers are for wars-past, present and
prospective. Every needed industrial
and social movement is halted because
Of war and the preparation for war,
The labor OF mankind Is taxed to the
limit-n0t TO provide the things needed
to make life better, more wholesome
and more enjoyable-but to provide
Instruments to kill their fellows and TO
destroy the fruits of labor.
Every right thinking nation feels
keenly the necessity for cooperative
action, but we alone, by reason OF our
isolation and strength, arc in a posi- .
ton 10 act as leaders and to bring a
distracted world back to normal. Unless
we make the endeayor we lose the

New York, Nov. 4.--Iu politics as in
war the American people fight tiercely
and bravely, but at the finish II the an
tagonist has been sportsmanlike no
tesidue OF bitterness or resentment re
mains. Therefore, the President elect
has the good will of an overwhelming
majority of his fellow Countrymen and
it is quite within his power to hold it
The magnitude of the tasks which
confront him Is recognized and every
allowance will be made for the diff
hculties he must encounter in order 20
accomplish those things which are es-
sential to a successful administration.
Now that the election Is over it will
be generally conceded that his predeces
sor is n remarkable man and has made
q very remarkable President. Com
parisons must inevitably be made. but
IN the new executive brings to his aid the
hest talent that lies ut his command, =,
and goes to his tasks in fine spirit or
public endeavor, he will find the Ameri-
can people generous In their Judgments
&, More than half OF the Republican
leaders assured the country that the
League of Nations would be safer In the
Keeping Of the Republican party than
IN that OF the Democratic party. No
one knows how many votes were in
fiuenced by these statements. but II must
be true that they were sufficient TO make
IL impossible now to claim that the re
sult Of the election was q vote against
the League Of Nations.
The world Is restless and our people
share the feeling which is prevalent
sysrywhere. The reason that there was
eneh seeming apathy in regard to this
campaign was not that the issues were
not great, but it was the inevitable re-
action after the great war. We tnd this
condition In every country. and It Is not
surprising that Il is also here. .,,.4.
The most difficult of the immediate
.,-ahisms awaiting solution Is the de-
tsrminaticn of our position regarding

THE country will expect Mr.. Hard

the cause of world peace, and there
Is no reason to doubt that he will do so.
In the meantime, the progressive forces
