MARION, o., July 6.-Personalities
will be barred from the esidential
campaign, SO far as Warren G. Hard.
ing is concerned, he announced to.
day. The fight will be strictly "a
conflict between the parties" and
the outcome Of the San Francisco
convention will not swerve him from
this decision, he insisted.
Nomination of Governor Cox as the
democratic president foreshadows a
bitter struggle over Ohio between
the two parties. Cox is known as q
sible that he will carry his fight
, right to the. Harding front porch by
, making an appearance in Marion dur
ing the campaign. Senator Harding
may be forced to abandon his front
porch plan long enough to stump
Ohio, according to some observers
here.
The republican keynote will be the
wisdom OF plural leadership as
against the "glory of the super-man,
he indicated. .u..
Government through party opinion
will be held up as the aim Of the
party if restored to power.
Senator Harding expected to de-
vote considerable time this week to
debating his acceptance speech.
Prominent democrats joined in the
reception, yesterday for Harding. A
leading democratic banker made the
address of welcome, and democratic
merchants are posting Harding pla,
cards in their show windows. The
senator came out stronger than ever
today for the front porch idea and
announced his intention to stick to
it, in spite of the objections of Sena
tor Penrose, who recently criticised
it.
Plans for creation of a super
committee" to take over much Of the
work of the campaign are under dis
cussion by party leaders, Harding
said.
Will Hays, chairman Of the ma
tional committee, would be on the
subcommittee, Senator Harding said
1t would attend to campaign matters
and tighten the burden Of the full
campaign committee.
Harding's address to his .neighbors
WAS N1cNSu III cSdolIhS LIS dCSCPt
ance speech. and particular attention
was paid to the emphasis he laid on
leadership by council instead of by
individual leadership.
He struck what is regarded as his
campaign keynote in the following
paragraph:
"This wonderful land Of ours is
but the aggregate of communities
the sum total of cities, villages and
farms. and the mutually of interest
and the necessary harmony Of pur
pose. if we are to go on, must lie IN
conference, in council, in the concord
of many minds, in the wisdom OF
plural leadership, in the never failing
righteousness of intelligent public
opinion. not in the glory of the super
man"
