(. r. ( HE BEE : OM AH A, FRIDAY, AUGUST 18,-1920 . HARDING OHIO'S CHOICE, SAYS CONGRESSMAN RepublicanrUnited as Never Before-Cast Twice as Many Votes as Democrats. Lincoln, Aug. 12. ( Special.) Ohio will cast its electorial vote for Warren G. Harding, according to Congressman S. D, Fess of the Sev enth Ohio district, who was in Lin coln Wednesday to fill a speaking date at the Epworth assembly. This is conceeded by political observers," said Mr. Fess, in conversation with The Bee representative in his room at the Lincoln hotel, "and it is also conceeded that he will carry the country without question of a doubt." "There is a great deal of talk go ing the rounds that Governor Cox at some time or another defeated Senator Hardin for office. This is a mistake. They never ran for office in the same year, except in 1914, wheiV Willis defeated Cox by 20,000 and Harding was elected sen-J aior Dy iim.vuu. iox was cieciu in 1912 and again in 1916 simply be cause the republican party was divid ed and he won as a minority candi date. In 1918 he was elected be cause of a defection in the republican party. ' , Republicans Solid. "Never in the history of Ohio has the republican party been so united as now. Something of the standing of Cox -in Ohio may 'be indicated when the vote of four., years ago showed that white Wilson carried' the state by 90,000, Cox received on ly 6,000 majority. "The primary of yesterday indi cates what may be expected from Ohio in November. - Returns this morning given through the papers show that the republicans cast twice as many votes as the democrats. "The history of politics in -the United States is plainly shown. When the republican party is united it always elects its candidate for president. -When it is divided, it always loses. What I have said about an undivided party in Ohio will also -apply to tue whole-country. The republicans have never been so strongly together as they aw at this -time and that means that Warren G. Harding will be the next president of the United States." . Going into national matters fur ther'. Congressman Fess said that the issue is clear cut.

The republican position wrll be a defense of the action of the senate 'in de manding that the independence of our country shall be safeguarded. We will not enter the league, excapt -wider the reservations proposedVJy, the senate. " V "Senatpx Harding proposes to im mediately end the war and then pro ceed to such agreements among na tions as to lessen the chance of war. He wilK also favor a world court to adjust international differ ences. ' " "Governor Cox denounces the pro posal to' end the war on such a -basis, but demands the adoption of the Wilson league as the method. Re publicans witl resist this surender of our sovereignty and independence. Will Reduce Taxes. "With the war at an end, Harding will immediately takeoip the ques tion of the cost of government , in such a way as will enable us to re vise the tax system by reducing the burden at least $2,000,000,000 a year. This. will result in a substantial re duction in the cost of living. . -. "The republican qongress tut the democratic appropriation . supply bills, which they failed to get through, $940,000,000, enabling the secretary of the treasury to apply it to the public debt and reduce it nearly $1,000,000,000. In the second session "we cut the democratic esti mates of departments $1,474,000,000. We saved a total of $2,214,000,000,. to be applied on the public debt. Our revenues this year will amount to $6,600,000,000, which will enable us to cut the tax burden the coming year. We have cut down the army, navy and' fortification bills from $1,700,000,000 to $800,000,000. . ( "Our democraic brethren are charging1 that the last congress did nothing, yet it-enacted more con structive legislation than any con gress, since the civil war. Among these are the railway bill, the wa terpewer bill, a bill which has been before congress, for 16 years; 'the merchant marine bill, the gas, oil ind coal lairds leasing bill and the budg et bill, the latter, 'however, being killed by the veto of the president.
