A ENCOURAGEMENT THAT PRESI-
"A dent Harding is to run for re-
election is the outstanding piece of
news of the past few days. A state
ment to that effect was issued by At
torney General Harry NJ. Daugherty,
the cabinet minister who is known to
be most closely in touch with the
Presidents personal thoughts, the
other day in Florida.
The statement is based on no rumor
of dubious authenticity. On the con-
trary Mr.. D~augherty set the stage
for his pronouncement by formally
calling In the reporters who are trail
Ing Harding on his southern tour and
telling them of the decision, right after
he had been closeted with the PresI-
dent.
Along with the declaration came n
hint ms to the grounds on which Mr..
Harding Will seek reelection. They
are four in number. as follows: Taxa
tion, law enforcement, the record of

that attacks on him are to c%ontinue),
and the question as to whether this
government will continue to hew along
the lines as laid down by the Constltu-
ton or listen TO the policies advanced
by foreign theorists.
The first three policies are CON
sidered MS measures to forestall Mt
tacks on the administration by the
Democrats while the last Issue is
aimed ut rival candidates who may APP
pear In his own party. Only one
serious candidate looms us n rival
within Harding's own ranks. according
TO those close to Mr.. Harding, Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette, the Wisconsin
politician who has disputed for the
nomination In every fight since 1912.
