President Harding makes his
rounds of the country next June
to meet the people and give them
an accounting of his stewardship
he will not have the audience all
to himself, unless the plans of
certain progressives and radicals
in h;s own political household un-
derga change. The President
will find himself compelled to
share the stage with Senator Bor-
an, Senator Johnson, Senator l.
Toilette, Senator Brookhart, ana
even Senator Moses, the conserv.
ative and irreconcilabie.
OF all this group Senator B
ah is most likely to cause n
Harding the greatest embarras
ment. IT is well known to Ser
tor Borah's friends that he h
planned for some months,
speaking tour that would Ia,
him across the continent. VII
he first decided to take this tn.
Senator Borah had only two i
portant subjects for his addre
es. These were an information
economic conference called by t.
United States. and American II
ognition of the Russian Sow
tGoycrnment. Now he has thr
ione of them-the proposal I
American representation on tic
Court of international Justice
having recently been supplied

With Senator Borah talking io
the same audiences that 1c
President addresseS-and cit
before or after the latter

bound to note the contrast r
conflict between Mr.. Hardin
proposals and the Idaho Senate
demands, and this difference aua

Senator Johnson is schedl
to return home in June. abort
the time President Harding g
booked to start on his orato /
journey. 1t is taken for gra q
that Senator Johnson will q

Senator Johnson viii. say reg
ing Americas representation
the Court of international -
tice will be notable among ot.r
things for its violent dissent + r
President Harding's statemf ts
on the same subject.
Senator Moses will be back .a
his native land early in the
mer and will be a sort of te.
mate for Senator johnson in
matter of denouncing the i'm
national court and the Presidei
recommendation that the Uni
States recognize it. There
predictions that Senator No
will attempt to anticipate Pre-
dent Harding's speech-mak
in favor Of American particil
ton in the court by issuing a
series of statements while he is
travelling through Europe; the
burden of these being Take
Care and also Beware"
While this clamor is filing the
air and all hut drowning the
Presidents voice, the radicals and
progrcssives will be more or les'
quietly at work on their plan to
take charge Of Congress, capture
the control of committees in both
branches, and devise and pass
Legislation to their own liking.
President Harding is accused n
these radicals and progressives
of having refused to consider a
special session of the Sixty
eighth Congress so that he might
have the forum all to himself
during the summer. They, are
taking precautions that. his shall
not be the only voice Of counsel
to be heard in the land.
