 gratitude is expressed for past inn l

 when 1t contemplates the profits de-
 nied it by the gradual reduction of
 prices under this administration. Fur
 thermore, this party seeks to control
 the Treasury Department under a reactionary administration, so that they can escape the payment of tax on incomes swollen by war profits. ''Then there is the Anti-League of Nations Party, possessing perfect understanding with Senator Harding that he is to scuttle every plan look ing to international peace. I invite attention to the obvious fact that it's
 dual leadership, Senator Johnson and Borah, cannot say a word in behalf
 of Senator Harding's reactionary | brand of Republicanisnn, nor in be- half of the boss control of the Chi cago Convention, nor yet in defense of the slush fund that Borah once l characterized as the most tfrightful | thing in American politics. This de- | struction array contains the muni- tions making party, an organization l with a vast propaganda fund at it's broil the world in fresh wars. Of | course, this body is for the candidate

 "There is behind Harding the Afro

Through these appeals to prejudice and through northern invasion of doubtful states, there is invited loss of the true progress of the colored people.
 l T have enumerated some but not all of the complex parties which for
 a most extraordinary campaign are to be made to march together. I re- fer the facts cited to any body of inn tparClal 1nV0Stl2atOTS to ascertain the truth or the falsity of the assertions as to parties have made.
 ''No attempt has been made to classify the insidious paid organiza- tions working within reputable asso-
 citations of the country. I make the
 assertion without fear of contradic-
 tion that there are no less than 20 so-
 called patriotic organizations formed
 during the war, like the American Defense Society, seemingly for patri- : otic purposes. sponsored and brought forth deceitfully as agencies for the
 election of a reactionary candidate. We are finding daily manifestations l of the distribution of the huge cam paign fund which I charged was be- , ing collected and proved had been
 collected, in the employment of prop l agandists under one guise or another in numerous social organizations o1 the country. Attempt has been made
 in lodge and club, by salaried work t CTS, to turn the agencies of these or l ganizations to political ends upor false propaganda.
 5 '.I believe that the American people t will take stock of these parties sup : porting Senator Harding, and give them a rebuke richly deserved. Il , these parties have been aligned by l false pretenses then the course o1 f mnt to disloya1 groups. l Ut is interesting to observe tha t from the front porch in Marion there r has been something given to ever. nT1n Of NTon I,r IT., ! addresses have conf1icted at times more especially when the candidate q has sought to reconcile the specia
 interests with the simon-pure Ameri = canism which he affects to represent e But each party has been assured tha = the word ito it is exclusive and con = trolling and all in conflict with eacl e special message public or private, i = facts be submitted candidly for inves Il tgation as the issue comes to be de
 itermined. I do not envy Senato s Harding his motley array of diversi n fled special interests. I would no t trade places with him nor accept tn l obligation that follow when the ope1 n secret, or implied promises becom y due and ready for payment. I be O speak pity for man burdened as h. e would be burdened with a load O o promises that conflict with the man - dates of conscience and with tn e sacred oath of office. I array the par = ties seeking to use the. historic Re y publican party, because I would tha f it's members known of the strang e guests who are quartered, tempor e ari1y, in its temple.
 c ITO every group and to every c1as 8 it is apparent that assurance has beer
 given. Their leaders boast each as y surance, nor has there ever been de = nial. It is evident that the entir e campaign of the Senatorial oligarch. e begun more than eighteen month
 ago in hypocrisy and deceit has bee1 y contained on that base. I am glad t, s feel and to know that i'll this cam y paign I am a free man and therefor = under no obligations to anyone, an. :. with promises to none.
 p My campaign has been made iron l. coast to coast, upon the issue o e elPeace and Progress in America, an e etPeace and Progress in the world a This was the basis upon which I wa l. nominated.
