 Washington, October 7-Presi- dent Harding is having his first real vacation since he entered the White House and he Is enjoying 1t to the full. If he voluntarily ends the vaca- tion by calling Congress back to
 work on November 15 1t will be but duty and not pleasure which dictates the move.

The wor- ries which beset him few months ago. eliminating in the all but tragic Illness of Mrs. Harding. all seem to have disappeared for the time being, and the President is showing the re- lief frdm the strain by more rugged appearance than those about him have seen for year or more.
 The summer sun Of the last ten days has tanned him to a deep brown, for he has spent every possible mo- mont out of doors since Congress went away and Mrs. Harding's recu- Ieration became pronounced. Ordi- narily, the President would have taken a trip somewhere during this period of rest, but the First Lady's illness prevented shat and 1t Is doubt ful if he will leave Washington at all before the sno flies and the wan derin Senatrrs Representatives return.

despite the long drouth through which this section of the country has passed, the nights are cool and there Is snap in the early morning air which is wonderfully invigorating. The President is an early riser, de- s''Te the fact that the White House seldom is without company in the eveniHg and no limit is placed upon the hour at which personal friends shall depart.
 Reports reaching the President from the Congressional campaigns tnrought ut the country are very re- assuring from his point of view. There are unquestionably a few bad spots' on the political map of the G. Q. r., but the President believes that the republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives by a more than substantial majority. As
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-10-08

to the Senate, there never has been any doubt. MT. Harding, therefore, looks forward to two more years of continued party control of the legis- lative and executive branches Cf the government. Soon he will begin the preparation of the legislative pro- gram. 1t will not be heavy one for he wants 1t all completed and put away by March 4. next, so that the people of the country can have a nine months rest from Congress.
 Graves Breathing Spell.

year as the calendar permits has re- suited in a rather slow start for the campaign. There are four more weeks in which to stir up the voters and a good many spellbinders cf the paid and voluntary brigades are gird- ling their Joins for the fray.
 The President at the present time has no intention of being drawn into the campaign. He does not think it becoming. He heartily disapproved of President Wilson's activities in the congressional campaign of 1918.

One of the reports which reached the White House is that the people of the country are taking very little in terest in the campaign. This is a good sign for the republicans for without interest they assume that the people are satisfied with what has been going on and will either vote to continue the present regime or not vote at all. There are many indica- tiCns that the latter decision will be reached by hundreds Of thousands of voters this fall and comparison with 1920 results will have to be computed than by the actual figures of votes cast.
 The election falling as late this
