DENIES sLANDERlNe DANES.
Governor Harding Declares Sac City
Speech Was Misquoted.

L. oPeecn was Misuuoted.
Special to Times Republican.
| Des Moines. Aug. 10. Governor
Harding today made public o letter
written to Hon. Thomas H. Smith, of
Harlan, in which he takes occasion to
reply to an inquiry from the former
legislator as to his remarks in his
Fourth of July address at Sac City,
where he is accused of slandering the
Danes. The. governor denies emphat-
ically making any remarks derogatory
to the Danish people.
II deny most emphatically that in my
address at Sac City July Fourth or any
other address delivered by me that l
said any unkind thing or made any
derogatory remarks about the eleanli-
ness, responsibility, high ideals or
patriotism of Denmark. Danes in gen.
eral, Danes in Shelby or Audubon
county or any individual Dane."
The governor points out that the
story appeared first in the Des Afoines
Register, declaring, Coming from that
source you will need to discount the
story about 80 per cent" He says that
$500 people heard the address and not
one Of them In the ten days time up to
the first publication of the story de-
veloped even the impression that he
had said any unkind thing about the
danes. He declares the Register picked
out three or four lines and disconnected
them from the balance of the story and
distorted the meaning.
II was speaking about the war in
which we are now engaged" declared
the governor Il said Germany wanted
the United States of America in this
war. They Started out to conquer
FRANCE, England and the United States,
because Germany wishedi to be the rul-
ing power Of the world II we do not
lick Germany they will lick us and take
us.
Tho thought was trying to convey
was that Germany started to conquer
the world. Some place in the speech,
referred to the fact that practically
all Of the territory Germany has she
stole. BY that mean they went out
with armed force and took it, contrary
to International law And treaties.
This is historically true with the
Schleswig- IIolstedn country. I was
making the point that In this war the
United States Of America Is fighting
the battle of the small countries Of
Europe, Bohemia, Denmark and All Of
these smaller countries are vitality In
terested whether allies or not, in having
the United States and her. allies win
this war.
| Il was also making the point that II
I'VE take the place we ought to take
among the nations OF the world We
must have united people and one Of
the best ways to accomplish this pur-
pose is to have one language"
The governor concluded by saying:
mot a soul left the meeting with the
impression or the Thought that an un-
kind thing was said about the Danes,
and there wasn't, or that referred to
| their habits OF living. This was not in
my mind and it was not in the mind
Of a single soul who heard me speak"
