MAN
OFFERS TO BECOME
HARDING STATE SECRETARY
Marlon, Ohio, Nov. 2. f I. N. 8,
Election day found . Senator Warren Q.
Harding confident- ot victory.
This confidence was partially inspired
from last minute telegrams from va
rious parts of the country to the Re
publican presidential candidate, assur
ing him that the Republican strength
was unwavering and would be more
than sufficient for his election. He was
assured that Indiana, Illinois, New Jer
sey and New Tork would go Republican.
Weather conditions were not rood In
the Ohio valley, but the senator ex
pressed his confidence that the rural
vote, considered largely Republican, es
pecially in Ohio, would go to the polls.
since so many of the farmers have auto
mobiles. It was raining at Marion
early today.
Senator Harding has completely re
laxed, and while a bit tired from weeks
of campaigning, expressed himself as
surprised that he had come through In
such good shape physically.
All i Marion was in readiness for a
"hot time in the old town tonlrht if
hopes of winning with the presidential
candidate are fulfilled. Senator Harding
win receive returns at his home with a
few friends, including Harry Daughertyi
political counsellor for many years.
Already nundreds of lob-seekiner let
ters have reached Harding headquarters,
especially from -men who wish to be
postmasters. They have' not waked up
to the. fact that all postmasterships'are
no longer appointive, but come under
civil service. The senator also has re
ceived a letter from a stranger , who
modestly offers his services as secretary
of state, although he confesses he is. en
tirely inexperienced in foreign affairs.
But an this is amusing- to the Re
publican candidate, who naturally can
give none of this correspondence any
attention until his election has become
a fact .
CALIFORNIA APATHETIC;
VOTE MAY NOT RE HEAVY
San Francisco. Nov. 2: I. N. R) De
spite a record registration of voters
1.374,184 political observers were In
clined to doubt that California, "pivotal
state"! In 1916. today would cast a rec
ord vote. ! 1 They attributed this predic
tion to old General Apathy.
The fight of Senator James D. Phelan,
Democrat, for re-election, has been spec
tacular and thorough. His Republican
opponent, Samuel D. Shortridge, has
also . made an effective and thorough
campaign. Political observers say the
senatorial election will be close.

main open until 7 p. m. The ticket, is
one of the largest in the history of the
