In other words, the campaign of ‘Gov. Cox has made some headway, Whether it will make enough head- Way to overcome the Harding lead is another question, the answer to which lies in the campaign yet to “ be made by both candidates and the workers in their behalf. ‘The Democrata are biasing away: ae intensely a8 they oan with a clumsy organization, The Repubit- nn are holding back with a smooth- working machine that can be. in- @reaned in mpeed at any time. The Republicans, say they don't think s miich of August drives: and declare they prefer rather to rely on ‘the drive made in’ October. -- HARDING HAS TWO-YEAR HANDICAP. a But the race between Cox and ~ Harding oan best be. desorbed by taking as ap analogy tho recent yacht race between America ard England.
