this way and do not wish to wait
until further action is taken by the
state legislature to provide for their

done in large number OF cities

Although the report was made yes

(By United Press)

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct %. (By Ray
mcnd Clapper. )-Senator Warren G.
Harding planned to leave here for
Akron shortly after two p. m. today
to make the second set speech OF his
Ohio tour tonight. He was to motor
out to the golf course here before
lunch. Senator Harding is taking his
final tour in a leisurely fashion and
has cut down his rear platform talks
to the minimum. He is spending
nights at hotels instead of on his
train as he did previously.
Senator Harding and ex-president
Taft are closer together on the Lea
que Of Nations issues than they were
BEFORE" Senator Harding said, In re-
plying to heckler in meeting here.
"Do you stand with johnson or
Taft?" the heckler asked.
II do not ask Senator johnson to
agree with me-" Harding added. This

approval from the audience.
Another heckler asked Harding re-
garding the attitude Of socialists to-
ward the League of Nations. The
nominee discussed socialism for the
first time in his campaign. political
parties never endure unless the men,
bers are intelligent and you find that
the socialist usually knows what he
is talking about" Harding said. II
do not believe in their theories but
am glad to have some thoughtful
socialists that have a contribution to
make to America"

which the allies gave their people

BRAlNERD HIGH CANCELS p.
GAME WITH BEMIDu TEAM
Claims Men Are Not in Condi-
ton and Then Schedules \
..... Little Falls Instead

Principal Scherich of Brainerd,
stating that Coach Butler claimed
that the Brainerd High school foot
ball team would not be in condition
to meet the Bemidji team on Sat-
urday, Brainerd has cancelled its
game with the local aggregation
scheduled for October 80 The fact
that the tBrainerd bunch cancelled the
game caused little ill feeling until
it was learned by the local coaches
that the school had turned right
around and scheduled the Little Falls
eleven for the same date. How the
Brainerd team can not. get into shape
for Bemidji when it can for Little
Falls raises question among the
local players, who were anxious to
invade that city Saturday.
,Brainerd originally scheduled a
game for October % with this city's
team to play here and the guarantee
asked by that eleven was agreed to
by Coach Smith. Two weeks later
Principal Scherich ca lied up Prin-
cipal Smith over the telephone and
said that the game would have to be
postponed since Coach Butler had ar
ranged a game with Crosby for that
date. Postponement until November
13 was agreed upon. Soon after a
request was made to play the game
on October 80 since Little Falls had
cancelled a game originally scheduled
for that 1ate.' This was agreed upon
and Brainerd wanted the Benidji
bunch to come there. Now this date
has been cancelled and Coach Smitn
is looking toward Duluth for a Sat-
urday game this week.
This is Brainerd's first year on
the grindiron since 1916 and the mans
ner in which that school is breaking
its schedule is causing no little COM
ment among the high schools Of the
district. Such practices are apt to
cause the cancellation of all games
