Since Acceptance is Made to
Delegation of Women.
(Ry Associated Press.)

Marion, Ohio, Oct I'm a front
porch speech today outlining his pro-
gram of social justice, Senator Hard
ing described enforcement of law as a
fundamental of social progress, re-
gardless of the private opinions of
executive officials, and declared par
ticularly that I'VE must all condemn
without qualification the failure to
enforce prohibition"
A federal department of public well
fare was advocated by the republican
nominee, but he proclaimed his op-
position to concentration of too much
authority in Washington, and assert
ed that there was grave danger in au-
thorizing the federal government to
take from local communities all the
burdens Of social conscience
The aliusion to prohibition was the
first to be made publicly by the can
didate since his speech of acceptance,
and he did not follow it with a de-
tailed discussion or the prohibition
ment, he spoke for industrial peace,
statutes. In addition to low enforce
protection of maternity, humane reg
ulation of labor conditions, promotion
of public health. aid to child welfare
and the stablization of employment as
factors in social betterment.
The speech was delivered to a dele
cation of women from many parts of
the county, and the senator took oc-
casion to present the league issue as
it affects woman's interests and to
restate his opposition TO the Versailles
covenant. Reading Article X, he de-
claga he was mot in favor of that
cosa-Iant"
Tonight Senator Harding made pub
lie telegram to Edward A. Ryan of
Washington, ID. c., who was arrested
at the senator's Baltimore meeting
Monday night after he had asked the
nominee if he agreed with Senator
Johnson in his position to scrap the
league of nations. In his message Mr.
Harding expressed regret that there
had been an arrest and declared that
he did not control any senator's at
titude, but was trying to harmonic
the views of American leadership that
we shall be able to adopt policy in
our world relations to which Ameri-
cans will unitedly subscribe
