HARDING PLANS
IS SP[.ECHES
ON OUR
VIII Garry Battle for Policies Of
Administration Into Homes
Of Opponents.
By GEORGE r. HOLMES.
InfarnafinI,.I NasEn Saraica.

President Harding started IN TODAY
on one OF the hardest months work
of his career.
Two weeks from today he starts
across the continent with a schedule
laid out for him that calls for four
teen major speeches in as many
days, delivered before audiences in
nine States, from Missouri to Ore
gon. Nothing which Harding at.
tempted in the sojourns away from
the Marion front porch equaled in
strenuosity the program which his
advisers have laid out for him on
his cross-continent tour.
VIII Cover An Questions.
The fortnight remaining before
departure will be devoted to the
preparation of the speeches the
President win deliver. These, his
adv sers said today, will deal with
every public question that con-
ceivably may become an issue next
year, from international affairs to
the economic plight of the Ameri-
can farmer, and include taxation,
tariff, prohibition. and law en-
forcement, business prosperity.
economy in government, railroads,
labor, and immigration.
The tour, in short, it was said,
will be "a report to the people on
the affairs of the nation" similar
in scope and variety of subjects
touched upon to one OF the annual
messages to Congress.
Starting in at st. Louis on June
FL, the itinerary laid out for the
President will carry him through
those States and sections of the
country where opposition to Ad-
ministration measures has been
strongest, and where political dis.
satisfaction has been most pro-
nounced.
Missouri, the home of Senator
Jim Reed. Democrat, and Gov. Ar
thur Hyde, Republican. who despite
their different political faiths are
both bitter enemies OF the world
court project. will hear the Presl-
dent twice, at st. Louis and Kan
sas City, and in one Of these. per-
haps in both. 1t is Hardings present
intention to dwell on foreign rela-
tions.
Only one speech Is scheduled for
Kansas and this will deal with ag-
ricultural matters. 1t was said.
From the corn belt. the President
will go into Colorado and Wyoming,
with speeches at Denver and Chey-
enne and thence into Salt Lake
Citv for a one-night stand.
June % will find him in Idaho for
two speeches In the home State, OF
Senator William e. Borah, one OF
the Administration strongest critics
in matters of both foreign and do
nestle policy. These will be delivered
at Pocatello and Idaho Falls.
From Idaho, Harding will dip over
into Montana for speeches at Helena
and Butte. where Burton K. Wheeler,
a Democrat Of the LaFollette turn
OF mind on many public questions.
was elected last November by sub
stantial majority.
The final speeches to be made be-
fore starting for Alaska will be de.
livered in Spokane and Tacoma, and
in Meacham and Portland. Ore.
Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and San Diego will hear the Presi-
dent after his return from several
weeks In the Far Norths early In
August,
