DENIES SHIFTING
ON, THE QUESTION
Challenges Democrats to
Point Out Where He Has
Changed Position

| Rochester, n. Y, Oct. 2l.-Sen. Hard
ing to-day challenged his Democratic
opponents to show by his public utter
ances where he had changed his posi-.
tion on the league of nations since he
accepted the Republican nomination.
In his first campaign speech in New
York state he said that the nation
could not take seriously the Demo
| cratic insjstence that the covenant
shall be considered for acceptance as
it stands" and added that for such
rejection he had stood unfailingly.
He also asserted that he had favored
consistently an international associa-
tion in the interest of peace, but could
not, under present conditions, frame a
definite and specific plan.
Il am not that kind of candidate, "
he continued 1T is easy enough for
candidate, who is going to lose, to
say almost anything about the league
of nations or any future plans for
America.
"The Democratic forces have para.
mounted the solemn referendum of
our foreign relations, and we have
gladly accepted, but that does not
blind us to the fact that it is designed
to divert attention from the unhappy
failure of domestic administration.
The great and solemn referendum will
not make the American people forget
the tragic Encouragement of their
own affairs, because they have long
since passed Judgment on our foreign
relations.
Surely the American people cannot
take seriously the Democratic insist
ence that the Paris covenant shall still
be considered, as platform and eandi
dates insist, for acceptance as IL.
