the best of the campaign. He was told
by some of the older men IN the au-

Maury county and certain influences
are at work to accomplish his defeat
here. but his speech at Spring Hill on
Tuesday night, and at Mount Pleasant

SENATE - fARDING'S
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

MARION, o., July Ex-senator War
rem @. Hardings address formally &C
cepting the Republican nomination for
president was as follows:
Chairman Lodge. members of the no
tification committee, members OF the
national committee, ladies and gentle
men: The message which you have
formally conveyed brings to me real
ization OF responsibility which is not
underestimated, II is a supreme task
to interpret the covenant of a great
political party, the activities of which
are SO woven into the history of this
republic, and very sacred and solemn
undertaking to utter the faith and as
pirations of the many millions who ad-
here to that party. The party platform
have come to expect that Interpretation
which voices the faith of nominees who
must assume specific tasks.
Let me be understood clearly from
the very beginning. l believe in party
sponsorship in government. | believe
In party government as distinguished
from personal government, individual,
dictatorial, autorcratic or what not. In
citizenship OF more than a hundred
millions 1t is impossible to reach agree
ment upon all questions. Parties are
formed by those who reach a consen-
sus of opinion. 1t was the intent of
the founding fathers to give to this re-
pubhS IL uepciludDit anu tHuuIHiB pup
ular government, representative in form,
and 1t was designed to make political
parties not only the preserving spon-
sors but also the effective agencies
through which hopes and aspirations
and convictions and conscience may be
translated into public performance.
Popular government has been an in
spiration Of liberty since the dawn of
civilization. Republics have risen and
fallen, and a transition from party to
personal government has preceded ev-
cry failure since the world began. I'M
der the constitution we have the charted
way to security and perpetuity, We
know 1t gave to us the safe path to
a developing eminence which no peo-
ple~in the world ever rlvaled. 1t has
through parties. Under this plan a
masterful leadership becomingly may
manifest its influence, but peoples
will still remains the supreme au-
thority.
The American achievement under the
plan Of the fathers Is nowhere disput
ed. On the contrary the American ex-
ample has been the model of every re-
public which glorifies the progress of
liberty, and is everywhere the leaven
of representative democracy, which has
expanded human freedom. 1t has been
wrought through party government.
No man Is big enough to run this
great republic. There never has been
one. Such domination was never in
tended. Tranquility, stability, dependa-
bility-all are assured in party spon-
sorshjp, and we mean to renew the as
surarces which were rendered in the
cataclysmal war.

CITY WILL COMPLETE
PAVING UPON BEALE

Forces of the city street department
will complete the work on Beale ave-
nue. between Main street and Third
street, Commissioner Thomas H. Allen,
in charge OF streets, bridges and sew
.ers, announced Thursday. A contract
was let for this job, but inability of the
contractor to secure sufficient material
and equipment has delayed the compile
ton of the job.
Most of the work is already finished
and surfacing with asphalt is the work
that the city forces will be called upon
to do. This course was decided upon by
Commissioner Allen, when it was ascer-
tanned that 1t would be necessary to
await the shipment to Memphis OF an
asphalt plant before the contractor
could do this work.
About three weeks will be required to
surface the street, it is stated, and
during that time the city forces whose
duty is largely that of maintenance, will
be taken off that work. Much time can
be saved, in the opinion OF Commission
er Allen, by having the city force com
plete the work, and 1t is the earnest
desire of the street department to have
this thoroughfare open to traffic as
soon as possible. The work was begun
last winter.
