Harding May
Speak in Omaha
While on Tour
President to Determine by Re
action of People to Speeches
- Whether He Will
Run Again.
By GEORGE F. Al'THlER
H nxhinglon Correspondent Tha Omaha fie*.'
Washington, March 5.—(Special.)—
President Harding’s contemplated
trip round the circle, this summer, it
became known yesterday, will include
delivery of at least 20 set speeches,
and appearances in every section of
the country. Omaha, it is expected,
will he included in the Itinerary.
1’pon the reaction to the sp^behes
will depend the president’s final de
cision as to whether he will be a can
didate to succeed himself. At the
present time he is determined to be
a candidate for a second term, but it
is an open secret with ‘his friends
that this decision is subject to revis
ion in the light of results following
•he "appeal to the country.’’
The president's itinerary on this
journey has not been derided npon
and will depend largely on whether he
will go to Alaska this summer. This
trip. In turn, is dependent upon tho
condition of Mrs. Hardings health
and upon the situation growing out
of disturbed conditions in Europe.
Whether Alaska is visited or not, the
president will endeavor to reach the
^^•mtral points in every part of the
country. New England and the south
are to be covered in this manner in
addition to considerable attention be
ing devoted to the middle and far
west.
To Test Sentiment.
President Harding's political ad
visers acknowledge fortunes of the
administration are at a low ebb, and
the president is probably equally cog
nizant of this fact, but it is believed
the record of the administration is
one that will stand the test of public
scrutiny. The president is credited
with possessing a fighting eagerness
to go before the country and present
his case.
According to his friends, the admin
istration Is in position to claim it has j
reduced taxes, balanced the budget, j
Introduced economy in government, j
has enacted constructive farm legis
lation. has aided revenue business and
has carried out a brilliant and success
ful foreign policy, despite the criti
cisms registered against It.
On* of the things President Hard
ing Is planning to dwell upon Is his
conviction that the executive and leg
islative branches of the government j
should be independently conducted.
T» Explain Foreign Policy. *
Aa th* president’s official family
now regards the situation it is be
lieved the history and purposes of
the administration can be outlined In
the 20 set speeches which are content
plated. Within this program a large !
degree of attention w ill be devoted to j
the explanation of the administra-,
tion's foreign policy with special ref
»*i»*nce to the suggestion of American
participation In the world court of ar
bitration.
Preparations for the proposed trip
hre already being made by the per
aonal and political friends of the
president. _
NorrU Sure His Bill
Will Pass New Congress
Washington, March 5.—(Special.)—
Senator Norris declares the fight to
bring about a reform in the constitu
tion, advancing the dates of the In
auguration of president and vice presi
dent and of the newly-elected con
gress. has just begun. He is confident
failure to pass the resolution propos
ing the constitutional amendment
through the house by no means stops j
the project. |
"I am confident the next congress
will adopt the resolution," he said,
• because it has been demonstrated
that the public believes the proposed i
reform is a good one."
Representative Philip Campbell of
Kansas, rhairman of the rules com
mittee, and acting speaker during the
tioslng hours of the session because
of the Illness of Speaker GHlett, is j
charged with responsibility for killing i
th" Norris resolution.
Representative Andrews made ev-,
ery possible effort to have a rule re- !
ported, but Chairman Campbell was
adamant. _
