Will Attempt to Get Good
Start Before Con-
vention Time
WEST KEYSTONE
Gets Many Invitations to
Speak-Will be Assist
ed by Cabinet-Pre-
pares For Trip
(By nited Press)

Washington, March 10 - "The
winning of the west" will be the
first objective of President Hard
ing's campaign for reelection,
which has been definitely started
by the executives close political
associates, Attorney General
Daugherty.
The President and his political
advisors are understood here to
have decided that to attain a Re-
publican victory in 1924 the great
bulk of the states in the Middle
West and Far West must be car
ried. In this respect, the Presi-
dent will use the same political
strategy as was employed by his
predecessor, Woodrow Wilson,
who in 1916 nosed out Charles f.
Hughes, by winning the west.
The hope of swinging the west
into line behind the Republican
standard is the principal reason
for the Presidents transcontinent-
al tour this summer. He does not
wish to make an extensive cam
paign tour following his renomi-
nation in June, 1924, and there
fore feels he must get the record
Of his administration before the
west this year.
Already invitations from scores
of chautauquas, county and state
fairs and other gatherings arc
pouring into the White House
from the West.
1t is now believed that the pres
ident may make as many as ~
addresses on the tour, in addi-
ton to many short talks from the
rear platform of his special train.
His expected trip to Alaska after
a strenuous west bound speaking
tour will give him the opportunity
to rest up before a similar one,
east bound.
In most of the eastern states
where prohibition is still an is
sue, the Republicans are "drier"
than the Democrats, and this ac-
cording to some of the G. 0. P.
leaders will ieopardize their
strength there, although it may
react favorably in the West.
In the last election, the West
also manifested some strange po-
litical upheavals, which are indi-
cative of its independence. but
Republican leaders believe the
President, by his personality and
his speeches, can counteract these
movements on his western tour.

stunts to outwit his pursuers or the
men he is pursuing, as the case may
be.
The main character in the story is
Duane, played by Mix. Duane is
sought by the Texas Rangers. He is
finally captured, but is told that il he
will round up a notorious gang Of
rustlers, he will be granted a pardon
for his technical crime.
He is assigned alone to the case,
and must first discover the identity
of the criminals. The story of his
work in capturing the gang is an in
tensely interesting one, and has some
exciting scenes. And a love story de-
velops while he is on the man hunt.
One Of the best moments in the
play Is given when Duane, and the
rangers he has called to his help lie
in wait for the bandits in a little
town, with Duane at the post Of great
est danger. There is a happy and
satisfactory ending after the gang
has been effectively broken up.
This is one Of Mix's best efforts.
He has the excellent help of Billy

by a good cast.
