HARDING TRIP
PLEASESG.O.P,
First Venture From Home

SBy Universal serv3ce.b

Marion. Ohio, Sept. s.-SenatoI
Warren G. Harding arrived back
home tonight enthusiastic over the
welcome accorded him during his
entire trip to the Minnesota State
fair and return.
The remarkable reception given
him in St. Paul and Minneapolis,
where he addressed huge crowds,
was continued throughout today
whenever the train stopped.
In Chicago he was given a cor
dial greeting. First in the throng
gathered to meet the candidate was
Gen. John J. Pershing. The two
clasped hands.
A short stop at Rochester, Ind,
brought out a crowd of about 1000
people. In a short speech the Sen
ator praised the agricultural devel-
opment of the State. AS the train
pulled out, the crowd gave a big
cheer for President" Harding.
The ovations given the Repub-
lican candidate during the first trip
away from the front porch have
convinced both Senator Harding
and his managers that the North
west will go solidly Republican.
While no definite itinerary has
been fixed, it is generally under
stood that the candidate will de-
part from his front porch for trips
both east and west.

to raise only the amount of the ma
