BIG ODDS COP. WILL
CARRY CALIFORNIA
Especial Correspondence,

SAN FRANCISCO.-If anyone is de
luded into the belief that California
has even a remote tendency, or a
slight inclination to swing Coward
next November, a walk up Market
street. down Kearney, through the
shopping district, and over to the
Portrero, where thousands of men
work at the iron works, and one is
soon placed unquestionably straight
as to the sentiment of the rank and
file of the voters.
In the Mission district, the strong
Democratic and labor neighborhood.
they are shouting Harding" from
every angle. Every window has its
Harding picture and every pedestrian,
wearing the little Harding button.
In days walk, endeavoring to es-
innate from appearance, the public
attitude upon the election. one con-
spicuous fact stands out tremen-
dously, and that is, that absolutely
not one was discovered who wore
Cox button. Cox's advertisements, in
fact, are almost completely nil No
billboards, no window cards and no
Democratic activity is seen anywhere.
Several policemen in the downtown
district were approached and re-
quested to direct US to the Democra-
tic headquarters. None of them knew
where they we're located. One burly
officer, who was philosophically in-
clined. said: IF your looking for
Coxs headquarters. you'll find them
in Dayton, Ohio. He doesn't need
them here because nobody would have
any use for them
On the contrary, everybody knows
that the state Republican headquar-
ters is located at go Market street,

busiest spot in town. Occupying a.
whole corridor, the dozen or more:
rooms present the appearance of a.
beehive in midsummer.
Senator Johnson was met in Ray
mond Benjamin's Office and inter
viewed by your correspondent con-
cerning the reported break between
Senator Harding. Senator Borah and
himself on the League of Nations
question. He said:
Il know nothing about any break
Speaking for myself, am thoroughly
satisfied with Senator Harding's atti-
tude as evidenced by his speeches on
the league and l can see nothing
which would enstrange Senator
Borah. / believe it to be pure. un-
adulterated Democratic propaganda.
If you think / am not for Harding.

nights meeting"
The report of difference between
Harding and Borah started a furry
around Republican circles until the
wires came in explaining Borah's
reasons for canceling speaking dates,
which were deliberately garbled and
twisted by the Democratic press.
However, like everything else the
Democrats have started in this cam
paign, it has only proved another
boomerang and robbed them of few
more of their few remaining votes.
Along the Rialto, they are betting
eight to one that Harding will carry
California and five to one by more
than $4,000 votes; two to one that he
will win by 100000 plurality and even
money by more than 100000. The
amusing thing is that even at these
odds there is but very little Cox
money, so if anyone believes Cox has
even a fighting chance to carry Cali
fornia, he can find unlimited Cali
fornia money at any of the large
hotels here. to convince him that he's
ell wrong.
