MARION. Ohio. Jan. s-President- elect Harding resigned today as sen ator from Ohio, forwarding his letter of resignation to Columbus for action of the newly elected Republican gov ernor. Harry l.. Davis, who assumes office tomorrow.

 The proposal was made by Ohio electors. who suggested at first that all Republican electors be invited, and later modified the plan to include an invitation to Republicans and Dem ocrats alike.

 WASHINGTON. Jan. s-Senator Johnson, Republican of California, in a statement today forecast his intention to push his project for . federal presidential primary law, but recognized opposition to be met.
 'Progressivism has not passed; certain prosressives have," he said. "The Progressives who were more interested in office than in policies have wanted their horrible past forgotten and have endeaVored to atone by out t-regularing regularity. But progressivisui is yet enshrIned in the heart of millions.
 "Reactiop is on until we witness the assault upon direct primary. lf this succeeds there's little that exploiting privilege has to fear from public officials. The bitter, concerted movement against labor is the accompaniment of the en- deavor to take from voters the right of nominating their public servants. To prevent the direct primary's destruction or noditica- ton is work ahead for progressives and this work will be done by the rank and file, and if necessary in spite of progressiVisn's former leaders"
