n Marion, dreaming"

In Marion, dreaming"
Then to prove the dreamy state in
which he alleged that the Republican
candidate was perpetually in, Mr..
West quoted from the New York
Times, an interesting interview with
the candidate on the political situa-
ton in Poland. The reporter caught
Mr.. Harding going from his porch to
one of his neighbor's. He questioned
him concerning his views on this
question. Mr.. Harding said to the re-
porter, Really, have not read the
papers, and know nothing about the
Polish problem at this. time. The
president is the only man who knows
the issues around this question. In
fact we want nothing of this foreign
policy"
Mr.. West declared that this stand
meant that if the Republicans were
put into power, there would be friend
ly relations with the BolsheviM of
Russia, separate peace with Ger
many, and new friendship with Tur-
key, the prosecutors of the poor Ar
menians. He declared the truth of
this on Harding's own statement that
"If am elected there will be COM
plete reversal of the foreign policy
of this country"
The senatorial faction that defeated
the League of Nations was then taken
up. Mr.. West covered thoroughly the
vivid history of the senate through
the most unpatriotic period of 1919
and 1920. 1--WE must study the League
of Nations as an American Citizen and
not as party man." said Mr. West.
The document contains 5000 words
and 26 paragraphs and should be read
by every citizen of the country. He
stated that in all 1875 reservations had
been offered to cripple this wonder
full document by the back sliders of
the senate. He quoted Senator Borah
as one of this faction, who said, "If
luO hCu6u6 WSIe DetHB duNOCdIeu ny
the Savior of mankind, l would vote
against it."
What Document Stands For
Mr.. West then took up the League
document in detail. 1t was formed
to establish international peace, law
and order among the nations of the
earth. Today S3 nations have accept
ed tts 1t Is an actual working docu-
ment in the world at is up to us to

Mr.. Harding would associate us with
the nations with whom we SO recently
fought in Europe" he said.
The league does not compel nations
to do things against their wills. Any
member can leave upon the notice of
two years.
To secure democratic procedure in
it's government, the league provides
for an international congress and a
council of nine. No nation has more
than one vote in the assembly, and at

Country ylndorse
Harding Ticket
Full Support Is Pledged
Nominees at Last Session
of Meeting To Be Held
Before the Fall Campaign
Roosevelt Wins Applause
He Declares Party Ready
for Stiff Fight; DIR. Butler
Receives Cold Greeting

After speeches by Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler, the New York County Republi-
can Committee last night unanimously
adopted resolution indorsing the plat
form and nominees Of the Chicago con-
ventlon. The resolution read:
"Resolved, That the New York
County Republican Committee indcrses
the platform and the nominees of the
Chicago convention and pledges united
and earnest support to insure the cleo
tion of Warren G. Harding, of Ohio. to
be President of the United States, and
of Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts,
to be Vice President"
The meeting the last monthly gath
ering until Setember-was called to
order by Samuel S. Koenig, county
chairman. The resolution was offered
by DR.. Butler.
Roosevelt Applauded
Colonel Roosevelts introduction by
Chairman koenig was received with
applause, which was only exceeded by
that which greeted the mention Of
Harding and Coolidge And Roosevelt
had no claque present.
The reason for the coldness shown
by many toward Butler was due, ac-
cording to several kcpuo:lcan leaders,
to his attack on the supporters Of
General Leonard Wood
One prominent Republican, who
stood less than a half dozen feet from
Butler, said. lour enough for the doc
to to have heard:
"The attack on Wood was the most
foolish, bonehead play Butler could
have executed"
Dr.. Buffers last word almost was:
The fight is going to be stiff one"
Roosevelt, who followed him, took
this as his text, saying:
"Wc've GOT fine ticket We've got
can, who has come up straight through
the ranks BIZ individual ability. We've
got in Governor Coolidge hard boiled
Yankee. And don't FORGET that this
government OF ours is running along
just now because of what some hard
boiled Yankees did $50 years ago.
Ready for the Fight
"Who's afraid of fight? We're
ready for it. Lead us to it,
The audience continued its applause
as Roosevelt left the hall, many of the
old followers of his father yelling:
"Hurrah for Teddy!"
Roosevelt in his speech said that the
election of Harding and Coolidge would
put an end to the waste Of the public's
money and to the orgy of theories
which had subverted the government 10
one-man rule and bring about re-
turn to a government our fathers
loved"
DR.. Butler explained why he had not
been nomina ted-because he had one
third the qualifications President Will
son had.
Harding would never have been
nominated if he had been college
president former Governor Of New
Jersey or President of the United
States"
He declared that Harding has desir-
able qualities for the Presidency.
".He is thorough going American"
said Butler, "and there is no doubt
where he stands with respect to his
love and duty to the Constitution of
the United States or where he stands
where American interests and ideals
and honor are a. stake. And. last, he
is from the crown of his head to the
soles Of his feet Republican,"
