 Great Day for Marion.
 The address. constituting the candi- Sste's personal platform in the campaign Eas delivered here at the climax oI ddS pf celebration which brought to Marion ratzbIe conlpany Of party chiefs and crowd of many thousands Their piaudits and serenading kept the nominee the ce1fe- of a seven hour reception as dele rations from many states paraded past ths Harding residence in clamoring czvalcade-
 Soon after sunup the march of the first delegations brought the senator to his front doorstep. and after that there scarcely was a Iet1p until lie left for the notification ceremonies on the outskirts Of the city at o'clock Old friends from nearby counties mixed with the repre- E-rtatives of powerful republican clubs Of distant cities in the procession gay with decorations and blatant with noise At the Chautauuua pavilion, where the notifca ton took place. seats had been provided for 1000. and many times that number surged about the park and sur rounding fields unable to get within ear srot Of the sneakers The announcements of the candidate were received with tu71ult Of applause. and he was cheered back to his home through crowded streets, tired but smiling man
 VIII Fl. Hays. the national chairman presided at the ceremonies. and Senator Indge of ssachUsetts. who was chair man of the Chicago convention. formally notified the candidate of his nomination in a speech rapping President Wilson's league of nations and prsising the part Senator Harding had taken in preventing Its unreServed accordance.
 Spoke With Gravity.
 Speaking slowly and with character istic gravity. the nominee delivered his declaration of policy in a clear, full voice that penetrated far into the crowded out Ezirts of the pavilion. Points he wished 10 drive home with particular force he en7hasized by aggressive gestures. and several times he got the crowd on it's feet cheering as he hammered with cIinched fist to land his blows where they would tell
 His thrusts at the league of nations were answered by repeated thunderclaps Of cheering. but the passage the crowd seered to like best came almost at the vnd of the hour and half Of speaking, when he voiced his humility in the pres .nce of the responsibilities of the pres- lency and then. squaring his broad shoul- 5ers added that his confidence in the Elpport of his fellow citizens made him wholly unafraid."
 In his discussion of the league he made DO direct recommendation for rejection pf the peace treaty, and did not take up in aetau the league covenant Contenting himself with the declaration that the league as conceived by the president was unthinkahle. he passed on to state his own view of what should be done.
 Tn the call of the conscience of Amer lea is peace" he said. peace that closes the gaping wound of world wR and si- iences the irn1assioned voices of interna- tional envy and distrust. Heeding as I fo this call and knowing as I do the disposition Of congress-. l promise you formal and effective peace so quickly as ! republican congress can pass it's decla- rstion for republican executive to sign. 
 Disposed as we are the way is simple Let the failure attending assumption. ob- Etfnacy. inlpracticability and delay be recognized. and le tus find the big, prac- 6cal unselfish way to do our part. : With a senate advising as the constitution 1ontempIates, I would approach the na- lions Of Europe and of the earth, pro- posing that understanding which mawes bs a willing participant in the consecra- lion of nations to q new relationship, to Hommit the moral forces of the world, America included. to peace and interna- tioual justice, still leaving America free, badependent and self-reliant, but offering Friendship to all the world.'
 At the conclusion of the speech tie senator returned to his home. but several of the visiting delegations not content with their first reception. called again to say goodbye. With Mrs. Harding, who had been by the side of the nominee dur ing most of the morning, he again shook hands with the callers. It was his first big day of handshaking since his nonnina- tion- and he was tired out by the time IL was over.
