BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. There came to an end in Washing- ton on Sunday a serles of protracted republican conferences deallng with vital aspects of the 1924 presidentlal campalgn. They were predicated broadly on the theory—regarded practically as a foregone conclusion ——that Harding and Coolidge will constitute next year's G. O. P. uicket. | The conferees also conducted thelr { deliberations in the confidence that { republican_victory is as assured as | anything in politics can be. They | see but two possible flies in the oint- ! ment—a reversal of prosperity, which {is not expected, and the nomination of Henry Fori by the democrats, | Which is not considered altogether { improbable. rd's vote-getting power, evel t Harding, is not | underests republican man- | agers. La Follette Not Feared. La Follette's opposition is regarded as negligible. Leading republicans, | formerly identified with Hiram John- H son’s ambitions, but now stanch | Harding men,” have practically { pledged that the Californian will not | throw himself across the President's {path. Even Senator Borah is quoted as conceding the necessity of Hard- ing’s renomination from the stand- point of assuring republican victory. i Among those who conferred with | President Harding, formally and in- formally, both at the White House 1d_elsewhere. during the past few ays were: Fred W.

There is_still another impressiv feature. In the past, vociferous anti- | league sentiment has welled up from the “hyphenated” groups of Irish- | Americans and German-Americans. These have been practically silent on the world court proposal. “Thelr fail- ure to_oppose is regarded at the White House as tacit assent. Outlines His Position. During_ hi with par Pr Harding used a graphic metaphor to indicate how he | regards his position anent the world court idea. The President said, in effec “I'm somewhat in the attitude of the president of a big corporation. Here's an important matter of cor- poration policy. It's my duty to sub- mit it for consideration of the board of directors—in this case, the Senate. It's their province to do what the please about it. But it's my priv lege to put the matter before the corporation’s stockholders—in this case, the citizens of the country.” t' is in the whollv non-partisan, non-political spirit that the President will advocate, when he does advocate, the World Court on his speaking tou With regard to that issue, as well with regard to all other issues. War- ren G. Harding is “golng west” as President—to glve an account of his two years and more of presidential stewardship, and not as an aspirant for four more years at the White ‘House. His friends, nevertheless, recognize that as it will be virtually 'his first appearance before broad reaches of the people since he became President, the trip's effect upon his political fu- | ture will inevitably be important. | They are persuaded the “human” side of him will make an Irresistible ap- peal everywhere he shows himself.
