President Harding hopes to visit
Alaska this summer when he goes to
the Pacific Coast on his speech-mak-
ing trip. Although definite arrange
ments have not been made, it was said
at the White House today that he
probably would be able to leave on
the trip about June 20 and arrive in
Alaska about July 15.
At the same time it was declared
that the President would not make the
trip as political candidate. 1t was
asserted that he wanted to avoid in
every way possible the appearance of
going into the West as a political
figure.
Much of the political discussion
now going on. it was said by those
close to the President. is regarded by
Mr.. Harding as very premature. The
President was said to be unable to
understand why man elevated to the
highest Office in the gift of the nation
cannot serve at least three wears OF
his term without becoming tn. :, nle,
of political discussion.
