Washington. ID. G., sept. 2S
President Harding was called on to-
dly to take hand in the Senatorial
campaign, particularly in the West.
where Republican political strategists
believe the Republicans have a very
good change to recover some senate
seats now held by Democrats
Senator Smoot (Utah) went to the
White House to get Mr.. Harding inter-
ested in Utah. Montana, New Mexico,
Arizona and Nebraska, where contests
are on for seats now held by Democrats.
According to Senator Smoot, II is evil
dent Republicans In these States should
have a more than even chance to win,
since every one of them went heavily
Republican IN 1920.
Except in Montana the present Sena-
torial incumbents are out Tor reelecuoI'
and their records are such as 10 make
them more or less confident of coming
back unless they are confronted by the
heavy artillery of the Republicans. rms
is true particularly of Senator Ashurst
Il Ariz.), Senator King (Utah) and sena-
tor Hitchcock (Neb). In New Mexico
senator Jones Is having hard race for
reelection.
In all these States the normal Repupii-
can and Democratic votes are close, al
though in many quarters every one OF
the States Is regarded as Democratic
except Utah. On the l. sue Of the last
campaign. however the states Went
heavily Republican. Senator Smoot pc
Iieves there is no reason why the states
should not go Republican again this
year.
Certain other Republican poftcians as
well as Senator Smoot believe the Re-
publican Senatorial campaign committee,
OF which Senator Medill McCormick
tIu.), is chairman, is paying too mucn
attention to the east. They say this is
true, notably in Massachusetts, where
Senator Lodge is a candidate for re-
election. New York and Ohio, because
Of special considerations, are centers OF
Senatorial campaign committees activi-
ties. In fact New York and Massachu-
setts are to be flooded by political
speakers within the next month whiie
few are to be sent to the western States.
The reason the Senatorial committee
has been centering it's fighting in the
east has been that the Democrats are
suttfng up the most intensive combat In
that section. hoping to make notable
anroads on the Republican ranks largely
for the effect it will have in 1924. The
Senatorial committee. OF course, has been
irving 10 head off any such thing.

GERMANS INSIST ON
SETTLEMENT OF
PREPARATION
BY HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
GENOA, April 14.-Germany today
put the Genoa conference on the road to
one of its four goals-financial recon
struction of Europe-by submitting a
prompt, brief reply accepting integrally
the allied crperts' financial proposals.
The German reply, which was reduced
to 100 words from nearly 500 pages of
documents, insisted, however, that rep
arations must be considered in the bal
ance of national budgets.
Allied experts submitted 4 broad gen
cral plan for basis for the Genoa CON
ference. This has been considered for
three days by members of the four sub
divisions political, economic, financial
and transportation.
The Germans and Russians were Civ
en- an opportunity to submit counter
proposals in each division. The German
reply, presented today, enables the fl
nancial comm iSsoH to get under way.
The Russians made their suggestions
Yesterday, and asked for an additional
"A hours in which to submit their
counter proposals, which are understood
to be lengthy. .s ..st,.
The German reply said Germany ac-
ccpted intcgrally the allied plan, adding
It was considered impossible to balance
budgets by considering enly commercial
balances.
'FForeign payments also must be con
sidercd, the brief German reply
stated. .s./
Foreign payments I'm other words,
reparations had no part in the allied
experts proposals.
France effected that omission.
Today there has developed at Genoa
considerable influence in favor of the
German viewpoint. American finan-
ciers, looking on at the conference,
have been quoted as favoring the sug-
gestion that Preparations be discussed.
LLOYD George, it is understood, is anX-
ious personally to discuss rcparations,
but has held off at French insistencc.
Louis Barthou, head of Franco S dele
