public, it was said they came from
every state in the union and from
many foreign countries. Partisan
ship was forgotten and the names
signed to the messages included lead
ers IN the Democratic as we'll as the
Republican party.
Gifts of flowers have been almost
as numerous as written messages.
Bouquets and baskets of blossoms
of every kind and color were ranged
along the corridor outside Mr.. Har-
ding's suite on account of lack of
space within.
In his talk, General Sawyer said a
fight was on between the attacking
forces, as represented in complica-
tions growing out of the original
ptomaine poisoning, and the Presi-
dents physical resistance, weakened
by nearly forty days and approxi-
mately 1900 miles of travelling.
The physician then added gravely:
1--WE are running with a very
handicapped machine"
The problem faced is to strengthen
and repair the machine, or physique
SO as to combat the attacks, DR..
Sawyer further explained.
Some aid to this end was afforded
during the hours of the night inn
mediately after midnight when the
President fell asleep. Everything
possible conducive to sleep was done.
Nothing could have been more likely
to bring sleep to a sick man than
the scene which presented itself at
n o'clock this morning.
The corridor outside the Presi.
Dental suite was unoocupied, ex-
cept for n secret service man, who
sat at the a end and two others
who guarded the approach to it.

Interior, who has participated in all
consultations, visited the Presidents
room from time to time. DIR. Work,
who from the first has been most

night he announced hat a bulletin
soon would be forthcoming.
None was more faithful at the
Presidents bedside than Mrs. Hard
ing, who since the executive was
brought here Sunday morning, has
obtained little sleep or rest. Gem
eral Sawyer said that Mrs. Harding
was standing the strain well, adding
that she was of the type who is
bes. under fire.
Determined, he said, to give the
American people all the facts in the
case of the President, General Saw
yer last night had a long talk with
newspapermen discussing the condi-
lions of the executive in non-tech-
meal language and answering all
questions.
