The President and the Campaign.
This is q news note.

President Harding has no intention
of campaigning in the interest of the
republican candidates who are seek
ing reelection or election to Congress
today by intimates of the executive
who are in a position to speak for
his convictions in the matter. Many
times the question has been asked
whether the President by letter writ
ing or. public statements or by assum-
ing the stump would participate in
the coming campaign as a means Of
insuring continuance Of the republican
congressional majority. Today it was
stated with much emphasis that the
President Is known to be of the opin-
ion that it is not the business of the
executive to go out on the platform
and harangue the public in an appeal
for a republican Congress.
The President will observe the pro.
prieties. There need not have been
any question on that point. He carries
himself in all matters with the fullest
regard for the dignity and responsible
ity of his high place.
But the President could not II he
would take himself out Of the eQua-
ton. His record will speak for him
and for his party. Indeed, 1t is his
party's best asset at present. and will
be it's most effective stumper in the
coming campaign.
There is some impatience with Con-
gress growing out Of the delays and
factionisms marking the proceedings
on Capitol Hill, and here and there
certain members stand out prom
inently in the sharp criticisms, cir
culating.
The President is not, and cannot be
drawn, under this fire. He has been
urging action on Congress, and con.
tributing ali in his power toward al
leviating a situation which the fac
tional spirit Of the day has seriously
complicated.
But it is plain that IL Congress- is

cratic successor. or even Of q demo-
cratic House, the President will SUI.
fer. For in that case he will By called
upon to deal on the eve Of the next
presidential campaign with a body in

putting him in hole for campaign
purposes.
