When these boys carried The Star
the Hardings were newly married. Mrs.
Hardlng's father, Amos King, Marion's
wealthlest citizen, had virtually dis

pretty hard row to hoe.

During the remaining five weeks ~
the campaign Senator Harding will be
away almost continuously on SPEAKING
trips. His return to Marion will be
brief. The big concern of the Republi-
cans from now on is to hold what thew
have won for Senator Harding and to
do all possible to increase the slender
Republican majority in the Senate
which consists of two votes, one of
which is that of Senator Newberry. of
Michigan. The loss of single seat
would throw the Senate into tie. This
trip to Baltimore. is being made by the
candidate quite as much in the inter
ests of O. E. Weller as for himself.
Weller is the Republican who is seek
ing. the seat of Senator Walter Smith,
and the best information here is that
Weller has an excellent chance.
The future speaking trips of Senator
Harding are being routed with an eye
to the Senatorial contests. Thirty four
Senator'S are to be elected in thirty
three states out of the thirty-four ex-
piring terms. Nineteen are those of
Democrats and fifteen of Republican.

Cox Far Behind Inn Straw Votes:
Odds 3 to / Harding Wins Ohio
Republicans Now Expect 100000 Majority i'm State
as Democrats Lose Ground Even i'm
Strong Labor Centers

Cox led in but four cities-Dayton,
Hamilton, Middletown and Martins
Ferry.
In his home town of Dayton, Cox
was able to poll majority Of only 90
out Of 1877 votes cost Middletown,
his boyhood home, gave Cox a majority
of out Of 879 votes cast Hamilton
was the one place where Cox showed
any strength, polling 2,743 votes to 43e
for Harding. Cincinnati, Columbus
Toledo, Youngstown, Canton and Lam
caster all returned strong Harding ma
jorities.
In Cincinnati the straw vote being
taken by The Enquirer, the Democratic
organ of Hamilton County, reveals q
strong trend toward Harding In the
first days of the poll Cox led by few
votes, but figures to-day give Harding
1895; Cox, 1880. In a separate tabu-
lation of votes by women The En-
quirer poll gives Harding 202 to 150
for Cox.
The results Of other straw votes
throughout the state have been the
same. and it is this which has in.
creased the odds on the proposition
that Cox will not even carry Dayton
or Montgomery County in November
There is little Cox money in sight
even on such bets.

Depew Urges Wadsworth
Election as State DUTY

Former Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew
yesterday wrote TO Senator Joseph S.
Frellnghuysen, of the Republican Sena-
torial Committee, in behalf of Senator
Wadsworth.
"The Republican party is fortunate
in its candidates." he wrote. "This is
especially true in its selection of James
w. Wadsworth jr. for Senator. l have
known Mr.. Wadsworth from boyhood,
and watched his career with great in

Republican nominee in Arizona, seems
to have the inside track for election
in that state. The state is normally
| Democratic by from 5000 to 10000, but
the sitting member, Marcus Aurelius
Smith, has been losing favor by rea-
son Of too slavish adherence to Presi-
dent Wilson, and is charged with not
Arizona.
Washington-In the State of
Washington Senator Wesley L. Jones,
the sitting member, has been renomi-
mated over his Republican opponent
Colonel Inglis, by more than a two to
one majority. This is equivalent to
an election, almost, in the state where
the onset against wisconsin has been
multiplying for many months and
where the suspicion that Governor Cox
il antipathetic toward strict enforce
Democratic party grave damage. In
obtaining the nomination by such q
wide margin Senator Jones may now
count upon practically the solid sup
port of all Republicans in the state.
In Washington the Nonpartisan League
has endeavored to infltrate the Demo
cratic party with irregular and par
ticularly marked success. The Nom
partisan League in affiliation with the
radical labor elements and with the
Socialists may be expected to do the
Democrats about as much harm as good
in Washington. The anticipation is
that Harding and Coolidge will carry
the state by from $4,000 to 10000 and
that Senator Jones will be reelected
by from $4,000 upward.
Complex Situation in Oregon
Oregon-In Oregon the conditions re-
ri ino ho lyat oil 60 q
plurality for Harding and Coolidge.
The popularity of prohibition in Oregon
is marked. Governor Cox was hailed
at the hour of his nomination as the
wettest candidate which the San Fran
cisco convention had considered. The
papers of the state are almost. unit
against him. The Portland Oregonian
is supporting Harding and Coolidge
most actively. The state was ramifed
with pro-league sentiment throughout
the protracted debate on the treaty
league sentiment yet remains in Ore
gon, but it is inconsequential when put
into juXtaposition with the prohibition
issue.
Nevertheless, in Oregon Senator
George f. Chamberlain. former Demo-
crat and sitting member, enjoys a
unique popularity. He was elected to
the Senate twelve years ago by Re
publican state Legislature, having won
his way in a statewide partisan
primary. He was reelected in 1914 by
a large majority, although the state
went Republican. He can invariably
count on from $4,000 to 100000 Repub-
lican voters in the state voting for him
on personal account. He is opposed
for election by Robert F. Stansheid. an
excellent candidate, but it is regarded
by the Republican leaders as unlikely
that the personal popularity of Senator
Chamberlain can be overcome If the
state gives a majority in excess of
100000 for Harding and Coolidge,
Chamberlain's seat will be in jeopardy,
but otherwise he is the probable
winner.
Pennsylvania--In Pennsylvania Sena-
tor Boies Penrose without doubt will
attain majority which must be reck-
oned in hundreds of thousands. 1t is
hardly likely that his majority will be
less than half a million. Any active
campaign in this state is unnecessary,
so far rs the national organization is
ccrcerned

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 2e.-Odds that
Senator Harding will carry Ohio in the
November election jumped to 3 to l
to-day, with very little Cox.money in
sight. Until now the odds have how
cred around even, with some bets
placed at to l, with Cox on the short
end.
Political observers predict that Har-
ding will carry the state by from 1885,
600 to 100000, basihg their belief upon
the results of straw votes and polls
throughout Ohio. The significant fea-
ture is that in all the industrial CEN
ters, where Democrats are making a
strong play for the labor vote, Cox has
run far behind.
In the poll conducted in movie the
aters by the Associated First National
Pictures, Incorporated, Cleveland, nor
mally a Democratic city, returned a
3 to vote for Harding and also re-
corded a strong sentiment against the
League of Nations. In Cleveland the
latest figures tabulated give Harding
5,99S votes, as against 2.948 for Cox.
The Cleveland figures are typical of
the results elsewhere in the state, as

UNCLE SANS GAME RESERVE
Island of Afoonak, on South Coast OF
Alaska, Peculiarly Adapted for
the Purpose.

One of the most picturesquely in
terestlng parts of our national do
main is large island off the south
coast OF Alaska. 1t is called Afognak
and is about 60 miles long by 40 in
width. with very irregular shore line
and deeply indented by bays.
1t is the property Of the government,
and in 1892 was set aside by President
Harrison as a game and fish reserve.
The important purpose that ii serves
is that of preserve for salmon, all
the finest varieties Of which run up its
stream in great numbers at the breed
ing season TO spawn.
Afognak is mountainous island,
of volcanic origin, its loftiest peak
rising TO an elevation of 1900 feet.
In the interior are a number Of large
lakes, which are the breeding
grounds of the salmon. One OF
these. Letnik lake, is seven miles long,
and on its shore is located big gov.
eminent fish hatchery.
In the days of long ago, before the
United States bought Alaska, the sal
mon fishery of Afognak was operated
by the Russian-American company,
which established on the island col.
ony of its superannuated and persioned
employees. These were Aleuts. whose
descendants today compose the native
population, somewhat more than 400,
though their blood is much mixed.
