inrton, Ohio, Augr. 7. -The Issue
here is still fropt porch or back plat
form. The arty politicians and
mtntfart wank Senator Harding to
tour the country. "No!" very , em
phatically with respect to the period
.between nojw and October 1 anyway.
After that! there may be visits to
various cities.:
But the usual; early campaign dissen
sions are in evidence. No presidential
contest would be complete without them.
Parties change their national managers
. m . . t- . ; . . 1
so o Lie ii uiai wun eacn new cnairman
comes a new perspective. Murmurs are
publican national committee on the sub
ject of pilgrimages to Marlon. . It is
represented by some, for instance, that
tne national commuiee- nasn't arranged
for enough delegation or handled prop
erly some of those already scheduled.
OWE DELEGATION QUITS '
One delegation canceled Its arrange
ments tne outer oay Decause it couian i
get excursion rates.4 It Is quite cus
tomary for the national committee, be
it Republican or Democratic, to be raked
over the coals for sins of omission as
well as commission, but this time the
orlllma Am tn ho uvnmDanied by
the notion that the national managers
are not quite as entnusiasuc jldoui irom
porch campaigning as the candidate is
Vi 1 rviaibl f ..i I C
Senator Harding has been Importuned
from every, iside to go out on tne suimp.
First. Willi Hays is reported tafhave
urged a change, and then Hafry M.
Daughtery, ! Harding's personal tan
' ager, is represented as. being aixiou to
have, the candidate take an active part
In the campaign outside of Marion. .
Kntlrely apart from merits of the con
troversy, the, thing that impresses the
average observer is that Senator Hard
ing Isn't allowing the campaign commit
tee to run rough shod over him, as Is
often the case if a candidate lets the
aid committee do it. J It is this decisive
noa An hia mrf and his determination
to follow the eoursei that seems best'to
him as a veteran campaigner which is
raallir Innnrlint InmUY a DOSt-mOr-
tem after the Hughes fiasco in 1916 the
statement was made again ana again Dy
ann. .-hn Vnw Huches intimately
that he would have fared far better ifs
he had. managed his own campaign.
Senator Harding takes advice liberally,
"and absorbs many a suggestion , but the
Mn. in ;: a conviction with
him. He saw It work In 1896 with Mc-
Ktnley and he may remember that Pres
ident Wilson worked it fairly well from
from Shadow Lawn, Long Branch, in
1916. ::-,! I . 'i '
vnT.TTTCTATJS ARE .TIMID
But It will take considerable courage
to" withstand the tactics of the political
managers who will: soon be coming to
Marion with pessimistic stones auum
activities of the rival candidate. Poli
ticians are ireally timid people and pos
sessed of a good deal of an Imitative
Impulse. Because Cox announces a big
speaking tour many Republicans want
Harding to do likewise. The viewpoint
here however, is that Senator Harding
can conserve his energy and give the
Issues of the campaign more thought
ful consideration in this haven of peace
and quiet i than ne couia on a iuu,.
with crowds at every crossing and In
Cheers at all hours of night, with hand
shaking and baby kissing and all the
other obligations of f campaigning which
a candidate fulfills ; lest he offend his
prospective supporters. -
Senator Harding has put his foot down
hard on the whole ! business.- But the
campaign- imanager in conference in
New York! and Chicago are talking of
speaking trips. Harding answered a g-od
deal of the talk by Issuing today, a H
of engagements for front porah addresses
for 'the remainder of August and a part
of September. Certainly there will be
no extensive tour "until October 1 or
after. Definite ptans for the- period
i thereafter swill not be made until early
i in September when ;a survey of the ef
fect of th first. Cox trip will have been
made. " ! : .

SE
NATOR HARDING
FINDS COX SPE
ECU
IS DISAPPOINTING
i - - i - ,.
"Not of the High Character
Which Might -Have Been An
ticipated," Declares Opponent.
MarionV Ohio, Aug. 7.t (L N. &)
"3overnor Cox's conception of the)
presidency is that of Mr. Wilson," it
was stated in an editorial criticizing
Governor Cox's speech of acceptance
at Dayton, which appeared In a late
afternoon- edition of the Marion Star,
Senator Harding's newspaper, today.
"As a matter of fact, later on In his
speech, he (Governor. Cox) frankly ad
mitted it, and he can hardly hold it un
fair for the country to anticipate, in the
event of Democratic success" in Novem
ber, at least four more years of one-man
government, of the autocracy under
which the government has suffered for
the past seven years."
OESEKAL T05E DISPLEASES
'The governor's speech of acceptance
is not of the high ; character which might
have been anticipated from one of the
admitted ability of the governor," the
editorial also stated. It Is
neither I inspiring; nor convincing. Its
chief defect is its general tone his ref
erences to 'conspirators, "plots, 'discour
tesies to the president,' political In
trigues are surprising when found in
the acceptance speech of the presidential
candidate of a great party."
Senator Harding's only visitor today
was Senator Charles K. Townsend of
Michigan. r j . -
"The Russian-Polish crisis is a serious
object lesson to us as to what we would
have let ourselves in for had we gone
unreservedly into the League of Na
tions," Senator Townsend said, after he
conferred with the Republican nominee.
"WOBBH5G" CHARGE HURLED
j"Even with us out of the league. Great
Britain . and France are expecting us to
furnish man power and money to drive
back the Bolshevik! hosts.
("Governor Cox ; has wobbled ,so on the
League of Nations issue since his nom
ination he has' sought to please the Wil
son and the anti-Wilson elements of his
own party while playing - both ends
against the middle, that the American
people are justified in entertaining seri
ous doubts as to whether he would be
capable of pursuing a consistent course
If he were elected."
